I still can’t get over The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? I want to try something newer, with better technology, but I hope they can be as rich and interesting as Skyrim.
There are a lot of good recommendations in here, but if you like Skyrim that much have you considered playing a total conversion of it? Enderal: The Shards of Order Is so different that is basically a completely new game, but within the concept of Skyrim, it’s engine, and a lot of its assets. Think the change from ocarina of time to majora’s mask, but even more extreme
Man I haven’t played Skyrim since the Xbox 360 days on my CRT. Other Bethesda games I played recently were Fallout 4 and Starfield.
FO4 was disappointing and Starfield was fine but I never finished it
Red Dead Redemption 2
Witcher 3
Kingdom Come Deliverance
I was so disappointed with a Witcher game. I forget which one it was, but good god, what a bore the intro is.
The first two were super janky. 3 is one of the best video games ever made.
Enderal. Which is… a skyrim mod. Although calling it a mod does it a disservice, it’s a whole new game.
Might sound weird but maybe STALKER. They’re both older, very charming but very janky open world RPGs, and both have immense modding scenes that have created an experience greater than the sum of its parts.
STALKER 2 is actually quite enjoyable and has great world building, pretty solid story, and a lot of the loveable jank.
Oblivion.
I was gonna say Morrowind lol
The remaster is so so good. It still blows my mind.
If you want the same world building and hadn’t given it a try, Elder Scrolls Online is still great, can be acquired for cheap (even the base game has a lot of content), and be played almost fully solo!
If you didn’t mind the “floatiness” of Skyrim Combat, ESO is great, has a lot of world building and exploration, can be quite immersive at times, and basically has the look of a modded Oblivion.
I spent a good 400h on it, mostly on lore discovery, main and side quests, and farming not for equipment but to get furniture for my house! (and if I recall I still didn’t reach the max level, not a pro-player).
I never played it as an MMORPG, but more as a coop RPG while still playing solo most of the time. So I can’t judge on the quality of the MMO aspects (though the cyrodil constant battle system is quite fun and intense).

Depending on what aspects you like about Skyrin, Dread Delusion scratches the same “getting lost in a very interesting setting” itch. It’s Open World as well.
Kcd2.
Deoends if you want to stay in the fantasy setting. Cyberpunk will give you that same type of feeling but just in the sci-fi genre.
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. Not the same kind of “magic” but if you want immersion and a super rewarding story I highly recommend it
And make it gay, make it soo so gay.
And when we mean gay, like make it REALLY wet and sloppy kind of gay, yk? The kinda gay that it even embarrasses the queerest of queens.
Wait what? What is gay? Kcd2? I haven’t played it. Is it really that gay? Or are you saying you just wish it was super mega plus ultra gay?
There’s a few unskipable sex scenes that are pretty gay. Admittedly the control mechanics for the thrust are pretty well thought out and engaging, and its pretty funny the way your character reacts to getting the guy’s poo on his pizzle. But its definitely seemed kinda gay to me.
I haven’t played the game and I genuinely cannot tell if this is real but I’m choosing to believe.
Im a completely straight male but the mechanics genuinely give you a visceral feeling of actually penetrating another man’s asshole (i assume).

Rdr2 my friend, rdr2
Almost, imo. Rdr2 is outlaw simulator, Skyrim has the option to be any alignment. Or you can start a family and have kids and build a life.
