Obsidian / Ruby Sanctum - Terrain similarities.

[Hazzbazzy]

Just in-case it comes in handy for anything or anyone's interested, it seems that actually a lot of instances could contain identical terrain design (which seems obvious now you think about it) due to them being designed around each other.
This is something I've not really ever thought about a lot, or seen a lot of; during a revisit exploration of OS / RS I noticed that a large amount of terrain in the glitched areas of the instances was near identical. See below for more detail:

Some of the similarities include:
1. The slopes on the cliffs used to jump out of the area (1:23)
2. The cliffs glided off (1:39)
3. General Terrain patterns (1:55)
4. Paths (3:16)
5. Ground Patterns (4:27)
There's a lot more than these, but these are the more noticeable ones.

Thanks for sharing this, Hazzy!
I'm sure most explorers have already noticed the similarities between the terrain, but I always appreciate a good comparison video.
Personally I would have rather seen a split-screen, as I found the picture-in-picture a bit hard to watch, but overall the purpose was there.
+4 rep for the effort and the share!


( PS - One of my first videos was a "terrain comparison" video!

Well, needless to say this RS exploration was originally your work, I wanted to do split screens in certain places also, however I'm very stretched for time atm. Appreciate the reputation friend

I recently explored both of those instances and also noticed they must be based on the same general template. Cool having a comparison vid to see each specific change. +Rep
