The Iberian DLC has captured my attention more than others in the recent past and I think it's because it 'feels' more real.
The loading/delivery docks are made more awkward by already having trucks and trailers in place which you need to work around. Navigating industrial estates is not simple even with GPS. The roundabouts are as much hassle in game as in real life and I like it it for it! I've found myself avoiding using the auto-GPS routes in favor of (slightly) longer manual navigation points to avoid smaller roads when hauling bigger trailers. The world 'seems' more real. Again, No surprise in a simulation game about driving large trucks but it does it so well! Subtlety.
While I've not trucked outside of the DLC area since it's launch I'm sure the A.I. traffic is also....... 'area appropriate'. In game, I've seen van drivers undertake and cut back in at a roundabout.....That may be a very generalized dig at a nation of drivers and their A.I. counterparts but if true in game I'd like to get back to Italy and see if it's as true there as well..... That would be 'interesting'(says the guy from Ireland!).
Each to their own but this game clicks with a lot of gamers for a lot of different reasons; Gotta love a game that does that. Community.
I've put in a good few hours with the DLC and visited all of it's new cities/towns.
A lot of contracts completed a lot of nice sights seen.
There are still a few achievements as motivation beyond managing my logistical trucking empire.
Aye, lots done, more to do.
