Why are hideout layouts so bad

Its been bugging me for a while, why does ggg introduce complex shaped hideouts, i dont think majority of people want those, me and my friends just want square or round shaped flat hideout with ability to choose tileset and lightining set. Thats all that is needed to create a good hideout, this way hideouts could in fact have more variety as the player himself could choose what to put there, instead of having forced the already prebuilt arcs, walls, etc.

Heres business idea -> Introduce a pack for 1k usd - a kit to make your own hideout, choose tileset, choose lightining, choose shape of your hideout.

I agree.

The way they have designed (most of) the hideouts, limits creativity and options. I want a sandbox, not a half-built template for me to "enhance".

I like the sanguine one, but the shaper is the best

You can delete all the default doodads in the h/o.

Can I choose to see one default ho when I goin to buy somth from stranger?


Its too much already different hideouts cluttering the engine. So need to load for alot of time each new I encounter. They are becoming more and more BS really. Or it is just optimization issue, like with intervention? Idk.

I really love unearthed, 3 big areas and lots of options... and it's dark ;)

The openness of that one is so nice. I made it into a temple with extra gardens and living areas outside. It had themed spot for each master too.

It would be nice if they were all generally as open spaced though.

The Doomguard hideout layout is completely wasted.

I like the idea/visuals but the execution fails. Highly inefficient design, disregard the artistic and technical use of space.

I know you can. The "doodads" aren't my problem. The non-symmetric layouts and badly shaped hideouts are my problem. I want freedom. The current hideouts are too limited in terms of creativity. Give me a big ass square with nothing in it. No inner walls. No bumps. No columns. No doorways.

I want to make all that myself.

I use the free Battle-Scarred hideout and it is decorated with nothing but a map device and next to that I placed Jun. Haven't even looked at the master decorations or god forbid MTX decorations.

The shaper hideout is $20 and is the size of a shoebox. Absolutely greedy, lazy design.
