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.
Crimson Desert’s pretty damn good.

The entire time playing Crimson Desert I have the feeling: “this is Skyrim, but better”.
stringere@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
Including the ability to steal everything not nailed down.
And with multiple playable characters!

“I want to try something newer, with better technology” this is where you are wrong little guy, in most cases for games its usually better to try something older. you want a genuine rich first person RPG? play morrowind, detailed character creation, huge sandbox and you can just make your own story in it, just don’t use the iron dagger if your character isn’t proficient with it, its an rpg, if your character is bad at something the combat will really show it.

If you are gonna disregard OP’s specific request just to give your own answer, you’d better save time saying nothing.
Imagine asking for apples and someone saying pears are better…
SuperEars@lemmy.world 1 day ago
maybe Days Gone
Zombie hordes and motorcycles in an open world. Feels kind of like Far Cry 3/4/5.

Thank you all for the recommendations. May the Dragonborn’s luck be with you.
OrgunDonor@lemmy.world 2 days ago
To throw in a couple more too consider, alongside the other great recommendations.
If you don’t mind it being different, you should check out Divinity Original Sin and it’s sequel, and also Baldurs Gate 3. Turn based and squad combat with an isometric view, might be a bit too much of a departure from Skyrim. But it does offer a lot of depth and systems, with a fantastic world to explore and experience.

Skyoblivion should release sometime this year, fan made project they have bewn working on for many years. Worth checking out!
W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 1 day ago
Idk but you better tell me you find one!
I’m tried a lot of the games mentioned in the comment. Many are good, but none of them scratches that Skyrim itch.
HubertManne@piefed.social 2 days ago
for breathtaking landscapes I would say elden ring. although style of play is waaayyyyy different.
brownsugga@lemmy.world 2 days ago
I still miss my first playthrough of oblivion. We should be able to combine the games if they can build a data center the size of Manhattan

I was literally talking with a coworker about this last night. Like, skyrim has all of Tamriel in it outside the playable area. Why did they not just add each province one after another as playable area. Could have sold us dozens of game sized dlc to sandbox. What wasted potential.
scutiger@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Why do that when they can re-release the same game for 15 years instead?
Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 2 days ago
I just tried to imagine what happens with their engine if you try to add the rest of Tamriel, running thousands of buggy scripts and systems at the same time. My mental simulation concluded with the result that it would be very funny, but probably not playable.
ms_lane@lemmy.world 1 day ago
A lot of posts here with things that are thematically similar and open world.
I personally bounce between Skyrim and Fallout 4 a lot. I’d give ‘A Storywealth’ collection on nexus a play.
mrsilkworm@piefed.social 1 day ago
What platform are you gaming on?
I would suggest The legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild.
Even if you hate Shitendo (like I am) there are ways to play it on other platforms
Neverbeaten@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I’d love a “Ghosts of Tamriel” game, set far beyond the time of Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim. It would be set in a steampunk era in the same world, where magic is still a thing, potions are more chemistry than herbalism, and you have the steampunk tech to work with. The different lands of Tamriel could be traveled among freely, each one with a slightly different steampunk theme… One western, one urban, one agrarian/rural/wild.
Psythik@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I want all of that except no magic or potions. The whole magic/wizardry aspect of Skyrim is why I prefer Fallout.

Tainted Grail Fall of Avalon
AHorseWithNoNeigh@piefed.social 2 days ago
Avowed can probably fit the bill but not quite as big I think.
MagnificentSteiner@lemmy.zip 2 days ago
Yeah, it’s definitely less sand-boxy than Skyrim but I think it’s in the same vein.
There’s definitely a few playthroughs to be had with the different classes and NG+.
Zorque@lemmy.world 2 days ago
As rich and interesting as Skyrim? Turn over a rock and find any number of open world games that can match or exceed it.
As moddable as Skyrim? Now that’s a taller order…
EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Depends on exactly what about Skyrim drew you in? Do you want to be immersed in a fantasy world? The ability to roleplay a certain kind of character? Have distinct builds?
Because if you like an engaging, living open world there are so many games that do it so much better than Skyrim. The Witcher 3 comes to mind, but you’re stuck playing a specific guy with a specific personality and allegiance.
As far as roleplaying experiences go, Baldurs Gate 3 is unsurpassed if you want to roleplay a certain type of character and have people/the world react to the flavor of your character. But that’s a turn based combat game not an action one.
ryathal@sh.itjust.works 2 days ago
There’s the older elder scrolls games, or Dread Delusion which is a spiritual successor to Morrowind. There’s mods that change Skyrim up like ordinator. There’s not much thats really like Skyrim.
Summzashi@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Dread Delusion which is a spiritual successor to Morrowind.
Is it really? That’s very debatable.
slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 days ago
I am in a same boat as you, and there isn’t really anything on consoles that comes close. I am a patient gamer though, and haven’t played some of the suggestions mentioned here yet.
Witcher 3 is a very good game, I loved playing it and the expansions, had lots of fun, but it isn’t Skyrim. It is still a game you should play though, and depending on what you liked about Skyrim, you may end up liking Witcher 3 much more.
Fallout games come close, character building is different, the world is different, the setting (sci-fi, not fantasy) is different, but it is probably the games that come closest to Skyrim.
People here have mentioned Red Dead Redemption 2 and Cyberpunk 2077, I haven’t played either, but I have played Red Dead Redemption 1, and this is a completely different game. It’s GTA in Wild West, a very good game, but nothing like Skyrim. Cyberpunk 2077 can be a good option, it’s by same devs as Witcher 3, and they know how to make a good RPG and I know people who swear by it. So definitely worth a try.
There are currently a few games in development, that seem to capture the Skyrim feel from the trailers, but we will have to wait for the release and review.
There might be some games on PC, maybe smaller in scope but still capturing the same feeling, but I haven’t explored those yet.
FireRetardant@lemmy.world 2 days ago
The witcher 3 is pretty good as well. A bit more story driven and less open world but there are several playstyles and a pretty alive world to explore.
NightTitan@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Hogwarts legacy is pretty sick. But yeah, witcher 3 has dlc this year and witcher 4 next. Pretty sick.

Skyblivion is coming out soon. Not better tech but it’s still exciting

The Bloodline has been on my list for a while. I haven’t grabbed it yet due to time, but it looks fun.
zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days ago
It’s quite fun, but very much a work in progress by a single dev. I am not saying don’t give it a try, just know what you’re getting into and have patience.
Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 2 days ago
I had a ton of fun with Dragon’s Dogma 2. The quests are kind of basic, but the combat is incredible and the traversal is actually compelling.
They do very interesting mechanics with the open world, too.

Breath of the Wild
iamthetot@piefed.ca 2 days ago
Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom can be really hit or miss for people because of the durability system (I don’t mind it, myself), however their sense of exploration and discovery outshine Skyrim imho.
cattywampas@lemmy.world 2 days ago
As a huge Zelda fan and huge Skyrim fan I do wish botw had a bit more RPG-style leveling and survival to it, but I guess that’s just kinda reinventing Skyrim though and not really what LoZ is aiming for.
But I agree, in terms of exploration and discovery it’s second to none!

I am probably the biggest Daggerfall fan in the world, but I still probably wouldn’t recommend it to almost than is a fan of the modern games in the series.
