Let's have a thead about shandification in videogames. What games have good shandification and does it add to it in those games or just make them feel bloated? What's a good level of shandification?
For the uninitiated:
Shandification
When a video game creator has sufficiently expanded his world, lore, and story lines so the player can create their own narrative. They can comfortably move from place to place, experiencing the world and lore without ever needing to actually follow the main narrative of the game.
If a game is not appropriately shandified while still offering you an open world to explore you can be left with questions that break your immersion. Questions such as: "what do they eat?", "where do they sleep?", "where do they poop?", etc.
