for me while if the entire game was set in the badlands it would get boring but i love the badlands, we have just enough badlands for it to feel good but not too much so its monotonous, the badlands for me feels free, driving in it is so much fun(especially with the Coyote), just something about it feels great, maybe its because i live in a similar area(minus the roaming bandits who want to murder me), i do love how many distinct locations are in this game though and the world building is just amazing
