As in any open world game, the first thing I did was to walk into a random cave. Turns out that cave had a bugged trigger and corrupted a side quest for me. Reloaded an ealier save, tried another cave. Same thing. After that, I gave up on exploration - and open world games without exploration are (to me at least) just tedium.
