Like the snow mountain biome freezing your character unless you had on like a mammoth Parka or something. Or a desert biome where you needed a hat of some sort like a veiled turban or some crap to keep the sun off of you, but keep you cool at the same time. It would also give players the illusion of different cultures because you would have to dress for the climate, and would be out of place if traveling to those locations.
Yeah, something like this.
Make exploration a thing.
Biomes that require some conditions for you to visit them. Hot/cold, tools/dresses, climbing skills, stamina, fighting skills and so on ....
Exploration is one of the first things a new player want to know about. And right now, being the map so flat and a new player able to go wherever he wants doesn't give him the challenge to progress in the game, to discover new areas.
P.S. Also foods recipes may give you some buffs ... watch the new Zelda. Water melon keep you "fresh" for a while, and so on ...
