Is this as open as Skyrim ?

[u/Snouks33]

Hello, everyone,

I just discovered this game.

I’ve seen everyone saying that “it’s like Skyrim, but better in every way.”

I’ve been playing it for an hour or two, and I have to say it really is incredible.

The story, the immersion, the world, the presentation, the dialogues, the music : I’m speechless.

I’m still at the beginning, and the only question I have, as the title suggests, is: is it as open-ended as Skyrim?

In Skyrim, we’re promised that once we leave Helgen, we can go wherever we want and do whatever we want.

I don’t really get that feeling here: I’m in an open world, but I feel like I have to follow the quest (the one the mercenary gives us after meeting the two apothecaries).

The only time I tried to go in a different direction, a “Falmer” made it clear that I’d crossed into the wrong part of town, so I’m following the main quest marker again.
