I've played HM:ToT as well, and I find the loading times in RRF way less annoying than in ToT. Also, the routing between the map sections is better, most central sections have a link to three other parts and since there are only 9 sections, it means you can take the route with the least loading time. And the world is smaller, so you don't spend half your day getting from A to B, which leaves time to actually do something
Oh, and thanks for the welcome everyone!
