No, actually northwest is completely the same, only Darka there
, northeast is completely changed, Minas Ithil is gone, Minas Leon formed, Eston fractured into 3 realms, BoM reduced significantly, Hammarsett gone, Coria transformed into Silnaria, there
A bit diverting, but if game becomes a chore, then I think it's time to stop playing. However beauty of this game is that you can really play it at your own pace, even few minutes a day can suffice. I had bouts when I really played minimally even paused, but always get back and hit it heavy. In this aspect BM is really unique.
