Not trying to start an argument or belittle your opinion here but....
...You do know that the world was almost completely destroyed by a giant dragon monster who came out of a moon that crashed into the ground right?
I can't say a world rebuilding itself after an apocalyptic cataclysm strikes me as something that would be "pretty." Sure, the scenery is nice, but that's just because nature is cool looking. I knew a guy who paid $40,000 to climb Everest last year. Said it was amazingly beautiful, but he also talked about becoming sort of desensitized because there were a lot of dead guys who just collapsed on the mountain from altitude sickness and couldn't get back down in time. Just because something looks pretty doesn't mean it's not fatally harsh at every turn.
Not everyone has to play a gritty character, of course. I would never suggest that everyone needs to be dirty and gross. But on the same hand, Hydaelyn is a very viable outlet for that kind of character.
You view the world as a harsh post apocalyptic place struggling to recover, I see it as a vibrant world, strong of will and able to overcome the destruction of the past. Â Where scars still remain, the world as a whole seems to have recovered well and nicely since a mere 5 years ago.
