I'm sure there was a will to create some of the same great features of other fantasy settings.In some ways though I think Golarion is much more consciously designed than Greyhawk. The politics of each region and the layout seem more regional than narrative. It seems to me like there was a conscious recognition that a strong over-all plan would give them better results and make the world easier to use.For me, the chaos of Greyhawk and the long history of wars and whatnot can make using the setting so tiring. What happened in this region when..... etc etc...Golarion seems to have less burden and more variety. I really like the Chelaxians and the Andoreans and The Seekers. If you consider how Golarion supports Pathfinder Society play it seems like there was a conscious choice to make each background basically equal to the other in terms of history and interest.I'm not sure if that's realistic but I sure can see its appeal for gaming.Greyhawk, to me, has always felt like the inheritance of a great story. Golarion seems more like the world is yours from the beginning.Thats just my .02Sigurd... course I still prefer home brew <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
