[QUOTE="FAST6191, post: 7990947, member: 32303"] I found it hard to care about BOTW having played many a game like it from the original xbox through the 360 era and PC from similar timeframe. BOTW did nothing special compared to most of those, and would have been a decent effort from a mid tier dev (which is more than I expected from the earlier footage of the game) from those machines mentioned (give or take the original xbox, PC games of the time already had worlds of similar scope). I can agree most Bethesda open world games suffered a bit from the grim und gritty virus and if you don't care for that then you won't get far, a pity as many of the not so open world games from Bethesda the publisher do OK here. Poke around some of the European developers (typically the German ones that put out things like Venetica and Risen and but there are others -- as well as grim and und gritty it seems many a US/Canada based dev wants to make dungeons and dragons into a computer game, such a thing is less a thing in Europe), or Japanese ones aping European devs (Dragon's Dogma being a start but not the only one). I would also suggest some of the more free form dungeon crawlers, something like the earlier dungeon siege games, earlier Sacred games and maybe things like Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance (as opposed to the more conversation focused Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale and such games, though they also might appeal for slightly different reasons). I am not a fan myself but the Fable series might do well for you. You could also come the other way and do space sims. They are all about exploration, and allow you to mix quests, trading, mining/exploration, combat and messing with physics. Possible option 2. "Life sims". [URL]http://www.academagia.com/[/URL] being a personal favourite. There is no open world to explore but you can do what you like (some of the "missions" then having more structure outside of something like King's Quest and similar episodic games) and learn lots about the world it is set in, when playing it I get something of the same mindset as an open world game that focuses on exploration and its universe while also being free to do nothing much.
