DA2 narrative, for me, would've made a better open world than DA:I, DA:I narrative reeks of urgency in the same way DA:O was urgent, but it is to a point ruined because "just one more flower", W3 worked for me simply because i took it as a father looking for daughter scenario an thus in aspects didn't have the narrative of world/civilization/life ending urgency So i guess, for me, what makes a great open world is narrative an i guess it pacing, if your going to make a open world game keep the main quest simple an not some world ending scenario because ultimately the slow pace of open world will ruin it, the main quest can be simple an effective thus allowing more simple but effective side stories Funny how I almost never see anyone ripping Witcher 3 for all the fucking around you are encouraged to do while looking for Ciri, upon whom the literal fate of the world hangs. Well that's really a curse of open world games in general. The world has to be filled with various tasks to justify the openness to begin with, all the while the narrative says "YOU GOTTA DO THIS OR WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE". I'm not far into the narrative here, but is Geralt aware of Ciri's importance to the fate of the world through most of the game? I think the PC/player not being fully aware of the full scope or urgency in the beginning tends to help a lot, like in HZD, where Aloy is just chasing the answer to a personal question in the beginning, and only starts to come to realize that it's connected to something much bigger. Mass Effect 1 isn't really an open world game, but it does come kinda close with the futzing about you can do with total irrelevant stuff, all the while trying to "race against time".

Personally?
It's the ability to mod the game, environmentally and to add characters + dialogue. Hm.. now what is that famous open world...?
