If the game is becoming repetitious it's because the player chooses to do the same thing over and over again. Or rather choose the same course of action again and again and again..

I did the same thing you're talking about, exploring the playground. There's not alot of games that do it well enough to make it worth the trouble. Mercs is an exception though, it's just a damn good game. I kinda miss playing it but i want to finish KOTOR2 before i get it back.
Ya hit the nail on the head Mass about gettin in a rut with doin the same thing, objective over and over, that IMO is what kills a games potential.
Havin the free roamin thing like this game has lets ya see stuff that may not even be part of the games theme but bein able to do just that is what makes a game fun, diverse and with good replay value IMO

In this game I've done this many time, I've seen an objective and then I look at a mountain and think I wonder if I can go that way and come in from behind my target?
Well in most cases I can't but man I have a blast tryin to climb some mountains, plus I see a lot of cool scenery LOL
