I get you. Some of those games are just too damn large and not interesting enough. I even count Skyrim to that, which I have started twice and never finished because I keep losing interest.
But of course Elder Scrolls always had that procedural generation stuff down, I remember Arena and it's endlessly boring randomly generated areas.

Skyrim more or less is the anti thesis of an interesting open world game, despite not procedurally generated it is a generic run of the mill fantasy world with characters you can forget after talking to them once.
If you want a really good open world game, play the 2 new Zeldas, they are absolutely the anti thesis to Skyrim and have a very ultima like feel to it, where every nook and cranny you can find is interesting and counts and every character has an interesting story to tell!
I just wished developers would make smaller but interesting open worlds instead of boring generic ones they then fill with a spreadsheet table of TODOs which repeats ad infinitum. The older open world designs of the 80s and 90s from origin and a few other studios were way better than most of modern waypoint/spreadsheet open worlds regarding this aspect!
