The irony is that in XBC and XBC2 the more plot focused games I felt more inclined to explore it was actually when doing the few mandatory grinding parts early on where I didn't feel like exploring due to how mundane and forced it feels. Point being a game shouldn't really have to drag the player around to explore compelling content should already do that. |
There isn't nearly as many systems you need to learn in BOTW either. Most of these tasks are to help the player learn some of these systems in the game.
