It feels kinda weird where im at with things.  

Like in a lot of areas, I have a really good amount of experience. Then there's other stuff where I have an idea but I don't exactly know the best thing to do there.

Like one thing I wonder about is how do open world games manage their characters and other objects.

You could have a giant list of all characters.
Or you could have smaller lists of characters in your vicinity.  It's all about trade offs, but sometimes one way is better enough to never bother with the second way.

Or maybe there's some other super brilliant way to do that kind of thing.
