This is absolutely wrong. In truth the exact OPPOSITE is going to happen. People are definitely going to have to be more creative now with their builds since they can't just load up some crappy mountain map, slap a bunch of plates down and call it a build. They will have to build their surroundings rather than just load up some garbage prebuilt mountain.

They are ugly. They have the equivalent graphics and complexity of an N64 game. This is 2012, not 1995. It is time to move on.

Too loving bad map making isn't the point of the game and more of an accepted nuisance than anything else.
Don't get me wrong, there are some good maps. Some really good interior maps, especially Viano/Paradise/Worlds.
But forget, the shadows and shaders are awesome. You could rebuild Paradise/Viano easily. The point is that we (FINALLY) can have some good bloody progress on the game we love.
And also, GameFanDan had Block-Terrain which was ok and the RPG was fun. If you can't get your stuff working like or anywhere near it, your fault.

im pretty sure some modifications to the terraingen that we have currently can be made to create smoother brick elevations, but that's just a theory

I'd rather have better maps than fancy lighting, really.

There is no room for maps to get "better".
