Not after the first time we visited, no. There's food and hot water and shops there, so it's definitely worth your time to check it out.

...Little word of warning, though. It's not like you can traipse right on through. Tunnel's crawling with monsters. 'N the longer you stay there the worse your odds seem to get. Probably best to go with a buddy.

And, uh... I dunno if it was just me being all paranoid or what, but if you start feeling a little... twitchier than normal while you're hanging out in North, 's probably a good idea to get the hell outta dodge.
