Bush Blocker

This one is sort of a “really!?” kind of nuisance. Walking through the forest, or city, and hey!! The exit is just steps away! All I have to do it walk through this bush. Oh, wait. I can’t walk through bushes in this game. Bummer! Forcing the player to walk, sometimes long distances just to get around a small rock, bush, waist high gate, crack in ground is just wrong. I understand it’s for pacing reasons and to make the game last longer. But couldn’t the developers simply added a giant wall, or unpassable, girthy tree? How about a hole that’s miles wide that I know I couldn’t tiptoe over and make it across? Something that at least makes me feel that I don’t even have a chance to get to that area yet would be awesome, thanks!
