@why Open world was clearly a wide eyed dream, perhaps once upon a time when you could actually somewhat stand doing nothing in particular in a game

But now it's mostly a bad pacing meme where you'll end up doing nothing for most of it, and randomly generated static caves like in oblivion where there's absolutely no reasons to visit any of them as they have nothing of worth in them

Go back to smaller well designed innovative games. All these veteran game makers and they might as well have nobodies at the helm
