Off Topic Discussion Megathread

[SturmChurro]

I'm also a fan of ESO's zones, because they DO have a limit to what you can do in them. You can practically checklist or "quarantine" parts of the zone map after having gone through them. Makes it much easier to find what you have and haven't done. Pure open world with no zones is...ugh, so draining. I say this knowing full well the irony of how I can play and fully explore all of Oblivion multiple times, yet cannot do the same thing with Skyrim, BotW, or any other open world games like them.

I like both forms of Open World content. Although, I think something more open is a bit more immersive, and I like it for open-ended exploration. Allowing for you to go in a completely different direction and having a different start than previous characters. There needs to be things to discover and do, however. This sort of world benefits best from good world building, and environmental storytelling, which is what makes something like Fallout 4's world itself fairly interesting to explore. It is nice in future playthroughs to discover something new, although I understand full well how it can be annoying if you are a completionist.
