Sense of adventure, more than just dungeons

And what about single player games? If the areas of The last of us or Skyrim were to be bland and pointless, because the player wouldn't be amazed the second time anyway - what would that be like? Everything loses its gloss after a while of use, wether it's an area to explore in a game or a new car, but isn't the first time still worth it?

Maybe. Still, exploration is still a thing can happen only one time. Done once, end of the fun. We can have better open world content than this
