Think of the world and how it's all but impossible to get from one town to another without passing through the territory of something that's trying to kill your character. That seems like a lot of bad guys and a lot of threat and danger to me (and it seems like the kingdoms are little more than lip service and paperwork, unless all these monsters are taxpaying citizens, but that's another topic altogether). Spawns always appear in the same places and are easy to avoid if you know the area, but that's NWN and not the MMO. And maybe a lot of the spawns near the more civilized areas aren't really much of a threat once you have a few levels under your belt, but doesn't that make sense? The area is civilized because all the really serious threats have been cleared out.
Now I'm rambling. I guess I'm curious if I've misunderstood what you mean by "threatened" and what could be done to make things more threatening.
