Field of View and the Pre Searing Map

  • So the addition of the extra camera options has really opened up the beauty of this game and it's also showing me things that after 13 years, I'm only seeing now. East of Foibles near the fork in the river, there's a spot where lightning strikes the hillside. I would assume it's always been there but what was the reason for adding it at that place if you couldn't really see it all that well? Pulling out the camera also shows various areas of the map where it looked as if the devs had planned paths/routes through areas but later decided to close them off.

    From a lore perspective, what possible reason could there be for lightning to continually strike the same area repeatedly?
