Assassin’s Creed and the Open World Gameplay design. It definitely existed before then, but after AC came out, it felt like every RPG switched to the open world map.
I feel like Elder Scrolls was the model being followed for open world RPGs. Assassin's Creed didn't even have RPG mechanics until the later games.
