I would make a thread with my own ideas to make open world work, but there are enough awesome ideas in the forum already, but of course, when a person like the OP see a thread with the label "open world" instead of reading it to see if it's good, they get in to bash the thread with negativity or poor excuses or just make another thread to expose the opposite point.
