    Well, The Witcher 1 and 2 weren’t open world, and those turned out pretty well, especially 2. There’s something to be said about what a game from them might gain by doing more in a smaller world.

      I tried playing Witcher 2 when it came out, but couldn’t. It’s so immersion breaking when some parts of the map are blocked by some gates or invisible walls. When Witcher 3 came out I was hesitant at first remembering my bad experience with 2, but I loved it so much.

        How did you feel about Baldur’s Gate 3? Because the structure of the maps in the first two Witcher games are what most of the genre is like.
