It barely even did that right. What makes Bethesda games work is that they're such an a dense amount of content on a map, but because they partitioned this out through different points in space, it just felt like it was floating around everywhere.

It's such a joke how disconnected everything is.

Jemison is at least three separate zones, Neon is cut in half, and this is in an age where we have city-scale games that have absolutely no loading screens during traversal - Cyberpunk and Spider-Man to name a few. That's like a New Vegas-era problem from a decade ago, where we had to cut Freeside in half. Made sense then, unacceptable now.

Everything is behind a loading screen, usually triggered by fast travel.
