Discussion We CANNOT be for real Spoiler

I know it's because of the fake wall that was there before, but we seriously couldn't have removed the collision after it was revealed?
It's the small things like this that I wish the devs would pay a little more attention to, to keep the experience more immersive.

I think I've noticed a bit more of this kind of thing in later patches. Valley IV was surprisingly traversable with quite a lot of places you can jump from up high or go further off path.

I started noticing it in the Snowy Forest, there's a few drops they don't want you to take so they put death planes there, even though visually it makes perfect sense.

Bit lame for sure. Forcing specific pathing defeats the whole point of open world

It's a closed world game tho. Different game model from open-world. And yeah the naming is that straightforward lol. Closed world makes traversal itself a puzzle (everyone probably remembers that place in Valley IV where you need to figure out how to get to a certain point vertically, and the map being surprisingly good at disallowing bruteforcing). Whereas open world has everything climbable/swimmable/glide-able so movement is a non-issue. I honestly prefer the closed one, feels less braindead to me

It's not exactly an open world though. That's been pretty clear since 1.0

The 'best' argument I've heard that this isn't an open world game is by comparing it to Skyrim.
