The most important part you can take from the article is the ability to fuck around with the world and the characters, then finding out what the consequences are. Essentially a Developer Foresight trope taken to the extremes

A notable example from more than 30 years ago is Ultima 7, which even Larian boss, Swen Vincke, said heavily influenced his RPG design philosophy, which is seen very clearly in the Divinity Original Sin games.
