The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim has set quite a few standards with regards to open world gameplay. While many of its aspects are fixed, like quest structure, dialogue and the plot, there are a number of elements left up to the player. You can craft armour and weapons that outright break the game from the beginning. Alternatively, you can pluck out the hearts of Briarhearts by pickpocketing from them. Maybe you just want to follow a character on foot and see what happens or read all the books in the game. The sheer potential of builds (even if you just go Stealth Archer), enemies that can interact with each other and outright depth is amazing even by today’s standards.
