Discovery Tour

Assassin's Creed had it.. a chance to explore the game freely.

Can you explain what this is? I haven't played Assassins Creed

Basically it's free roam in an open world without any combat elements.

Pilgrim?

Dead World?

It's easier than Pilgrim. You don't have to worry about temperature.

So you would like something like Subnautica's Creative Mode? Just wander the entire world, no need to collect resources, no need to stay fed, hydrated, warm, unlimited carry weight, no worry of fatigue or stamina drain if sprinting or climbing?

I will admit, I enjoyed Creative Mode in Subnautica a good bit. God Mode. I could go wherever I wanted with no worries, I could pet Reaper Leviathans, I could build massive bases without needing to collect any crafting materials. I am not sure if I would enjoy it in this game, especially since we don't have base building, but it would be something I could see some people enjoying a great deal., and it would be completely optional. Achievements should be disabled just like they are in Subnautica's Creative Mode.  

And to add a twist- you play as a Crow. Since they seem to be both messengers and observers in TLD, who can fly anywhere without the player being able to interact with them other than picking up their feather gifts... you are a crow, exploring and observing the old world dying and crumbling, looking to see how the new world develops.

But maybe not in this game- HL is already dealing with too many people angry about delays on Wintermute and the TFTFT DLC, and this feature does not seem like it would drive enough new sales to cover the costs to have a team of devs creating it and trying to get it to work without breaking anything else in the game. Maybe better as a new mode for TLD 2, baked in from Day 1 of development.
