I
still remember the first time I played a well crafted open world game.
It was The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (PC). I created my character,
followed the soldier up the stairs and into the office to get documents
stamped by the Imperial authorities. They sent me on a mission to
deliver something – I can’t recall what – to a city called Balmora. Once
I completed my mission, I was free. That’s what the NPC said. It was
something along the lines of “you can now do whatever you want”. And so,
I did.
