Is this game trully Open World?

[Kirchesch]

Am i able to walk it all whitout loading screens?

[Psyringe]

The game is truly open world. You can go anywhere anytime.

The game does have long load times with loading screens.

[Euro Brady]

Same as other Elder Scrolls games really. You can walk most places without a loading screen, but going in buildings and fast travel do have one.

Take a boat down by the docks in most big towns. Talk to the navigator.

Well, you can't "walk" out of them in the literal sense, since both are islands. But they are both integrated into the main world, with wayshrines and boats providing fast travel options.

Yeah just tryed to swim out of Vvanderfell and sufocated my character, they are in a diferent world, like Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms in WoW, thats sad hope they fix it

This game does NOT have long load screens. It depends how potato your PC is

There is nothing to fix. There are slaughterfish in the water, they kill you if you swim out too far. They provide a natural barrier.

With your logic, any game with a mountain range (another type of natural barrier) would not be open world because you can't traverse it freely. I don't think this perspective makes much sense.

Think more about it, you will see what i meant, anyway this game is amazing im loving it, but there is a false barrier that breaks the immersion in those expancions lands

That's a very lazy argument. You don't provide any reasoning at all.

Once again - what would make an impassable mountain range "okay", while an impassable sea "breaks immersion"?

I was genuinely baffled by how smooth the game runs and how short the loading screens are, compared to most MMOs.
Really shows that a new dev came in to work on this game, because Bethesda could've never did this all by themselves.
They're too sloppy for that.

There ARE load screens, everytime you go to a new zone. NOT everytime you go into buildings, or new areas of a zone.

Open world doesn't mean seamless world. And seamless world doesn't mean open world. People always mix them up.

A game without load screens is a seamless world. It's virtually a giant single map (the levels are steamed in real time, so you don't see where a level begins or ends). The example of seamless would be dungeon siege 1 and sacred 2 maps (it's essentially a giant dungeon crawl) .

An open world is a world where the level, or levels (if there is more than one map) don't have virtual walls >>> inside <<< them. Meaning it's not a virtual dungeon (yes a dungeon can be a forest or field with a sky, grimrock 2 for example). So you can go up on hills, you can cross rivers, swim, jump over fences etc. In the limit of the physics of your character obviously.

ESO is a true open world, just not a seamless world.

An example of open AND seamless would be gothic 3 (I think two worlds is too).

sort of, you will need to buy all the dlcs to make it truly open world
