I agree...although with a caveat:

If you add more NPCs moving around you're going to add to the already horrific lag. Static NPCs don't contribute much to the lag.

But I've got to give props to the devs...as much as I miss the old islands, the new designs really reflect the movies as far as geography. They're very true to the movies. If you watch Dead Man's Chest, with Will's conversation with Cutler Beckett, and then look at the game Port Royal, you're seeing the same island. Looking down from the fort onto the docks...it's a ringer.

Tortuga...who knows. In the movies we saw very few wide shots. I'd love to see the "governor" being dunked in the game. The key dog is in the game...I think the dunking scene would be so great in the game too.

But we've got Jack, Hector, Gibbs, Tia Dalma, Elizabeth and Will and, I think Murtogh and Mullroy (in the Black Pearl cut scene...I think that's them, although not rendered to look like the movie characters). I like that.

Although I still don't understand what Jolly Roger has to do with anything. Gimme Davy Jones!
