I do, too, in a way. At the same time, though, as large as they were, many areas were the epitome of lazy game design.
Take the Shroud 1.0, for instance: one gigantic, labyrinthine forest - where everything looks the same. Occasionally you'll find a twist or turn where you have to spiral up a hill and cross a bridge. Those all looked the same, too.
It was on the same level as Dragon Age II's caverns/dungeons that were all copy/pastes of the same layout. What I do miss, though, is the mostly seamless game world. Being able to see people running around Lower LL from the upper levels and such.
