By saying open world games should do something you're implying they generally don't, when the fact that they do dissolves that claim, thus, it's nothing new states that it's something already done and used. And skyrim has all manner of quests, not all quests are marked on your map, and many sidequests only start when you've explored on your own accord and found an item/npc/location not marked on the map that initiates the quest, with lots of quest elements not being specifically outlined or marked, and left up to the player to figure out.
Still something that's been done in plenty of other games, like I said. Be it a request to kill an enemy without telling you where it is, issuing a demand for items without telling you where or how to get them, or a quest line stating a particular location or event will allow the quest to continue without being specific, it's been done before plenty of times, and many games include it in combination with guided quests and exploration encounter quests. |
Not many games, sorry but no. I have been playing open world games all my life, there's some sort of marker even if there are quests without it. When I say "open world should try this" I'm not saying that breath of the wild is the first with these type of quests, however, it's a game where there are no markers at all. There are markers that you can use and you can put AFTER you explore the location (if you want) but the game doesn't give you any hint of what you're going to find, you need to find the location, find the side quests and figure out how to do the side quests (every side quest). When I say open world should try this, I mean the entire system like breath of the wild, not some quests or some missions.
