Overview

I love open worlds in theory, though they rarely work out well in practice.

Motivation

1. I like harmony and having all the parts of a world be interconnected.
2. I dislike not being able to backtrack.
3. I don’t like being linearly guided.
4. I prefer open areas to arenas (though occasional arenas can add variety.)
5. I like choices of scenery.

Problems

1. Doing things in different order can break the gameplay.
2. It can be unclear where to go next.
