After spending more time with BotW, I
like it, but having some issues with this part:

It's like they made a conscious tradeoff to have a bigger game world with less interesting stuff in it. You go to towns and there aren't really any interesting NPCs to talk to, or interesting quests to do, and it kinda feels like if you just skip large chunks of the map you can be pretty sure you're not missing much besides a few treasure chests and korok seeds. And if that's all those places are offering...what's the big deal?
Contrast with an Elder Scrolls game, where you know that every new town you visit is going to introduce you to interesting stories you'll want to chase down.
I'll probably try to find all the shrines at least, since those are pretty fun.
