Suppose there's a footpath that you have been told goes to the city you're going to, but the HUD icon is pointing you ever so slightly to the left, probably because the path curves a bit.

I check the minimap to see which route passes by the more likely points of interest.

In Horizon Zero Dawn, going over mountains and stuff tended to be safer than going on the paths. So Id just do that most of the time.

The sequel made it harder to climb over stuff, so I stuck to the paths more in that one.

Yes and no? Unless this is some sort of linear game, I'm gonna see what awaits me on the road sometimes, kut straight to my destination others, and eventually attempt to explore everything in between.

Try not to. I like when devs add in an Easter egg for people like us.

Born in raised playing all manner of rpgs...I'm goin' everywhere else but where I am supposed to go first for potential loots or side-quests, lol.

Even with action games I rather go everywhere else just because I'm looking around for extra guns, supplies, missable collectables (got to love constantly crouching and setting off the item area search pings like a jack-ass in last of us 1 and 2) etc.

Actually, I like to enable waypoints in video games just so they point to the way you are supposed to go and I can ignore them, lol. I do that so I don't accidentally go the right way from the start and possibly set off some sort of story scene that prevents me from back-tracking.

Yes because that is the way the game was developed.

I grew up playing nes games. You always try going left first before going right.
