    I've always had a consistent opinion with "open world" games, and this is that you can either have a balanced game or an open world game, you can't have both.

    IDK what a balanced game is but I'll be under a pile of open world game fanfiction for the next several decades, thanks.

    That's pretty much how it all goes. The only open world game to feel balanced or at least not as buggy or imbalanced as others was Kenshi and it's only because the dev went "screw storylines, do whatever you want as you start off as a weakling. Have fun." and letting one have the chance to grow their character by any means, even if it meant that to be tough to withstand a punch, you literally had to let people beat the shit out of you with rusted pipes.

    I like exploring fantasy worlds, and I don't go on internet forums discussing balanced mechanics. If I had to pick one, I'd chose open world all the way.

    Kenshi also lets you be a limb-less nub man that can shuffle at the speed of an old horse, so i feel as though it's balanced in it's own way.
    Imo but i've always preferred more linear fantasy worlds. Although that could just be because Dark Souls 3 is really good
