I feel like open world games are the most linear games out there. You literally just follow an arrow pointing you where to go because the worlds are so absurdly large you wouldn't be able to get anything meaningful done because you'd get lost for 8 hours just to finish one little fetch quest.

A game dev really needs to step the fuck up, and make a proper open world game that is manageable and doesn't hold the player's hand the entire process because that's the only way to play. And also include a meaningful combat system that isn't just mash one button.

Oh wait. That game is called Zelda Ocarina of Time.

Fuck up outta here. Japanese game devs were the GOAT before casuals casualized gaming and forced them to make crappy open world games because they sell well.

The solution is to delete fetch quests, from literally everything

I'm pretty sure most games give you the option of turning off all that shit. Even Skyrim

Skyrim wouldn't be a good experience with the quest marker turned off if you want to actually follow story quests.

I turn off the quest markers in Skyrim all the time and it's fine. At most I use them to see where on the map the next dungeon is, or on occasion to find the person I need to speak to.

Bosses are immune to the eat command so it won't be possible to end the final boss fight of the game by eating it.
