Is free to move about

The game features a classless role-playing system reminiscent of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPECIAL system used in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallout. The player is free to create builds using any combination of the magic, combat and aptitude skills available. You create your character at the start of the game, and might optionally create up the five more. Alternatively, you recruit companions you meet in the game world. A noteworthy feature is the ability to bind the souls of these companions to the will of the player character, making sure that they will not leave your party later on.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serpent_in_the_Staglands#cite_note-rockpapershotgun.com-7 Similarly reminiscent of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallout, the game allows open world https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandbox_game exploration, meaning that the player is free to move about the map as he chooses and solve quests in any order desired.

I'd like to know if "free to do" is similar to the structure "enough~to do" or "so as to do" in either the meaning or usage."

" It is similar, though I don't know what enlightenment you hope to gain by knowing that. There are very many structures in English grammar that can be said to be similar to one another. "free", like several other adjectives, can take an infinitive as a complement.

I'm not sure what information you would like, but these are two more adjectives that can be followed by an infinitive. Thus, "slow" and "quick" are similar to "free" in this way.

be slow to do ~ be reluctant to do (too slow; not quick enough)
be quick to do

park sang joonI'd also like to know among those adjectives accompanied by to-infinitive if there are adjectives that take to-infinitive as an object, not an adverb.
