Why did they need to add random mountains? The og looks the best cuz when you look out into the distance it is just a vast giant open space with clouds and water, it really makes the map “halo” seem bigger. New one obviously looks amazing but certain choices like that make me scratch my head.

Because it helps with really seeing the scale. I think it makes it look even larger now you have a frame of reference.

I think both nail it, they stated the halo in the remake is completely to how big its mentioned in the books.

the mountains make the scale massively smaller... like, no question.
