What I mean by realistic is that things have to have a certain point, or rather, the filler levels are the ways of getting to different parts.
Like I said in my example, a grassy town is not gonna be right beside a snowy land castle. Not in todays Graal. Back then it could pass but if you compare level design today to 10 years ago, it doesn't even look like the same game.
The state of "realism" I'm talking about is more like, if theres snowy land, it's probably up on a mountain, or up north somewhere, and that forces people to create a bunch of empty levels to get from point A to point B. Talented LAT's are able to fill these voids, but most, myself included, often find it difficult to stay the course and find the motivation for such daunting tasks.
