My best random encounter was getting attacked by a griffin when i was riding a cart. But it happened while we were passing through a valley. So narrow road and high walls. In the middle of the fight, the griffin jumps up, and i see a random fighter pawn away from the fight. I was like "whats he doing all the way over there?" Next thing i knew, a minotaur charges around the corner. Through that pawn and into our group. Panicking, i started spamming "to me," getting my pawns out of the valley and starting to fight in the open space. The griffin ran away but ended up getting attacked by hobgoblins, too. We finished the fight, but everyone was halfway dead again. I slept at the inn right before that cart ride. 10/10 would go through that again
In the early of The Witcher 3, the PC mod "random encounters" was just like this and it was epic, after getting broken by multiple game updates, it was never the same.
I remember saying two years ago I wanted an open world monster hunter inspired RPG. Then I discovered DD Dark Arisen…then right after that this gem drops.
Not really random. This happens a lot in this ruin. There are 2 Golems there you have to fight. Plus Knackers, plus Harpies, plus the griffin which always comes down at me when Im fighting the golems. Nothing random about it. Happens each time Im there.

Oh man i can imagine how epic that must have been!

Not really open world, since its all very linear and restricted. You cant stray off from roads unless theres a cave off road.
@neptunedirect129 I haven't dived into Monster Hunter. It seems great!!
Imagine if the other golem spawned
Carnage!
Great fight!
Cheers! Loads of moments like this throughout the game.

Fair enough! I've been through here a few times and this is the only time it's happened for me
