iamthetot@piefed.ca 2 weeks agoI love Dragon’s Dogma but I don’t think it quite fulfills the spirit of 4 and 6. The map is open to a degree, but there’s certainly elements of the game that encourage you to progress a certain way. Hard as hell enemies in certain zones, being one of them.
Also for 6, there’s not much like that in Dragon’s Dogma. Most things that I would consider close are progress gated by the main story most of the time, or what “state” the game world is in, again based on game progress.

Dragon’s dogma has a ton of 4. Yes the start is a bit fixed but after getting to the major city you can (and most likely will) forget about the main quest for several hours and just explore and do side quests. There is like, only one dungeon truly gated by story progress and you can skip it and go to the isle if you want.
A ton of 6 too in form of random encounters while travelling around, not much finding NPCs to be fair.
