There sure seems to be an abundance of lake and ponds.
It does seem like Ground Zero, if thats where the bomb hit, is far away from Boston it self. Like they actualy missed their intended target.
The map i made and posted from Imugr shows my GUESS for the ground 0.But judging from all the footage we have seen,I'm pretty sure of it.
(The compass from the gameplay showcase was a great help.)
not Necessarily, they may have actually hit what they were aiming at, given what used to be in the area of some of the guesses I have seen you had things like a Nike Missile base, a Federal Currency reserve collection and distribution center, the Watertown Arsenal which had a Research reactor that was actually a nuclear environmental Superfund sight at one point, and so on. heck one moment!(Starts a new topic)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Blue_Hill, SW of the city, is the highest point in Eastern Mass at 635 feet. Used to bike to and then walk up there as a kid.
In the Concept art, The Glowing sea is Portrayed as located in the Somersville Area (North of the Charles River, above Boston)
Not prairie type flat. It's got a few hills, but not very high.
Within the city, the two named hills I can think of are Bunker and Beacon.
Boston itself is pretty flat but the surrounding area is pretty varied from hills, rivers, forests etc...
In short, there will be enough varied terrain to keep it interesting.
