What are some games that feel like the worlds "exist" that people go about their daily lives regardless of if you are there to interact with them. Where NPC's have routines and feel like they actually are living their lives in this world as you are passing through. Somewhere that choice matters and your actions do not go unnoticed. Where the world feels realized and just exploring it can be enjoyable.
Basically I'm looking for games that live up to the Molyneux Promise™
On one hand there are some vast worlds such as the ones you see in Bethesda games that feel like this. However, there's also something to be said about smaller worlds that do it just as well. For example in Animal Crossing if I plant a tree I CAN come back later and find it fully grown. However these are far from the only games that do this what are some more examples
GAF do your thing
