It probably wasn't as fun when it first came out, but all the endgame update stuff teasing you makes you want to explore until you can access those things. Optional bosses in each region drop the best items for your level so you're incentivized to find and fight them all. Unique puzzles that require some reading of the lore. Epic level upgrades appear in your crafting recipes which tells you that there are rare items you night have missed. For example, dragonscales are an ingredient but I played for dozens of hours before I noticed that, I didn't even know it had dragons. After that I combed the whole world for any other secrets. It just does a good job of making you want to find everything.
