The Pathfinder books give us a pretty good feel of what the Characters are going to look like, but they don't give that great an idea what the world will look like. If there has been any info on this so far I have missed it, but do we have even the remotest idea what the general look of the game will be?
I'm looking for adjectives that describe the conceptual artwork.

Don't know if this helps to describe the River Kingdoms a little better:
The massive Sellen River basin drains all the eastern lands, carrying waters from the Lake of Mists and Veils north of Brevoy, the massive Lake Encarthan, and lakes and rivers all over Galt, Numeria, and Ustalav down to the Inner Sea. As the tributaries pass through the hundred marshes and forests of the River Kingdoms, they seem to carry an especially heavy freight of sin, treachery, and thievery, for the River Kingdoms are where desperate men go to escape their pasts and carve out new lives.
Paizo should look into time travelling and hiring Bob Ross :) Can't find much (read Anything)

Bob Ross was a really amazing character. My sweetheart watches his old shows and just hearing him talking about painting in the next room just about puts me into a deep slumber.
My whole family was sad when he passed. My brother and sister and I used to watch his show together in our youth.

Pocket squirrels and other small furry creatures should work ecologically like mobs (such as goblins) would. SFCs (small furry creatures) populate depending on how many there are. Overpopulation can be a problem. This condition would be balanced by various neutral predators like wolves and Lynx, or evil predators like Goblins and Bugbears. Too many predators lead to scarcity in SFCs. Scarcity in SFCs lead to predator migration. Predator migration leads to NPC bounties in settlements and Predator incursions if they still aren't thinned out by player intercession.
Excessive player intercession leads to overpopulation in SFCs. So overpopulation in SFCs should trigger predator population increase depending on environment type plus a random predation table where there are no extant predators.

You do want to have triggers and caps though. You don't want far territories that won't be seen by players for days on end overpopulating too quickly to conserve resources. Otherwise you will have wholesale invasions before there is anyone to intercede.
Or do you? Should there be nation-hordes of bugbears sweeping through unpopulated areas?

Guild Wars 2 is absolutely gorgeous in terms of scenery. Actually i'd go so far as to say that it's one the main reasons I'm still playing.
That's a F2P game. Just sayin'.
Good taste goes a very long way (bad taste is why I never played WoW). Can we get the art director in here for a general mission statement on his vision for the world?
Just looking for something to go on.

GW2 is a great game. I wouldn't call it F2P, though. It's pay-once + MTX. Each Expansion will likely require a purchase.
