After 22+ hours with the game... (Destiny)

I'm STILL finding new rooms/areas that I hand't been in.

Just this morning, I found a room on a cliffside that had a lone Level 16 Hallowed Knight, and the first words that came from my mouth were "OH CRAP... I can BEAT him!"

Of course, I couldn't. Not even close, but the sense of discovery stuck with me, because normally it's either low-level areas, or the three level 20 areas. Even after days and days exploring the map, things can feel new and undiscovered.

It reminds me of Skyrim. Once you have reached an area that you can fast travel to, what incentive do you have to go on foot? If you know the map, layout, and locations of everything because they're all neatly on one easily accessible screen, what incentive do you have to make anything other than a beeline to what you want?

Definitely enjoy not having a map, and being able to walk into an area that I've been in from another angle and piecing things together.
