How so? - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you can quit in the middle of the Military Base, go to Hub to buy some ammo, then take a detour to V13 to chat with your girlfriend?

So you mean "restricted" as in movement, as opposed to map continuum. I don't think that's what open world refers to. edit: slash that, "open" may very well refer to what you said. I'm just used to thinking "boundless" or "transition-less" (mostly), when I read about "open worlds".

mkreku Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 They were. Open world is (afaik) when you're not restricted to a predetermined set of maps, a la Doom and Co. So basically all games with hubs are also open world? I mean, in KotOR you could choose your maps in the order you wished.. I don't agree with this. To me, an open world game is like Gothic: you're just dumped into a world and there's nothing else outside it. Everything in the game is contained within the same map/zone/world.

Oner Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I'd call KotOR non-linear instead of open I guess. Granted, I could just as well call Fallout non-linear, but I don't feel that it would do it justice.

Everything in the game is contained within the same map/zone/world. That's generally what "open world" refers to, games that take place in one huge "level".
