Agree with everything you said. Random isn't the right word but it doesn't feel as scripted as other RPGs. It really pushes you to explore and doesn't drive you down a specific path. Morrowind is a great example but I'd also say a little bit of early Fallout games too (at least how I played).
One thing the game does really well is not let you predict what's coming next. There are parts of the map where you're just waiting for something to happen like a big boss fight and nothing comes. Sometimes you're in an area you think is safe and you're thrown into a situation you're fully unprepared for.
Games a little buggy still so I get if people want to wait for patches to clean it up. But it's really fun and a nice throwback to older RPGs I loved.
