Yeah something that almost every developer fails to understand when making an open world game: Traversal needs to be fun too. This is why I dislike open world games, because most of it is just galloping from point A to point B in order to get to the fun part.

BotW is the only open world game that gets it right. Moving around in that world IS the fun part.

Elden Ring should have gone with their original style of semi-open world. Where everything is connected but with much less emphasis on empty space. You could still have a lot of options for places to go to make it more accessible.

Also I hate the horse combat too. I know what I'm doing and it's still just annoying, I much prefer to fight while on foot. However I will say that using magic on horseback is at least enjoyable.
