sea road needs backstory

[riverjack]

(3.1.9 first play through)
so i am in the endless maze of man made walls that i keep thinking is the end of the sea road and i find myself wondering just what all this is. usually the characters have been pretty good about feeding a little bit of info here and there. in this case there has been unfortunately none.
i am wandering around the man made walls in the lower half of the map and i am not sure what to make of it. is it some sort of elaborate sewer system? is it the outer walls of the yet unseen city? ruins of the suburbs? is it... a seawall? i think it would add a lot of appreciated flavor to the map environment if when you started approaching all the walls after the second campsite one of the characters had something to say about what it was.
thanks


edit: turns out i was under the city the entire time...

There's different stories for different group compositions. You might get more info, if you come to the same point with another group.

hmm ya I hadn't thought about that. however upon arriving at the city KJ proudly announces he used to live in granthorne.

tbh this has been the first time i have been confused as to what was going on visually with the map. the entire game underground takes a bit of getting used to however the game has done pretty well in doing so. for example in the rat holes north of oskahold the characters tell you about the foundations of the city (hell theres even the forgotten dead guy).

without making to much adieu about something minor as this, as a new playing going through that map for the first time I was confused enough about all the walls in that map to come here and post this.

as i am writing this now i am wondering why its even called sea road... is there an ocean down here too? sorry. just relaying my experience.

riverjack - thanks for sharing. The map will eventually be expanded to allow you to head to Freeport, the last city on the dead coast.
