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.
Does it have to be sword&sorcery? Cyberpunk 2077 tickles the same things for me. It’s not necessarily as big or open, but theres still plenty to do, see and quest.
The Oblivion remake gave me the Skyrim vibes. Naturally it is a precursor to Skyrim, but still fun!

It’s incredible
Bruh, I still haven’t gotten over oblivion. Skyrim never scratched that itch.
Breath of the Wild
Gothic Remake

Death Stranding
The Witcher series is probably the closest one
Also, World of Warcraft. Sure, it’s an MMO, not a regular RPG, but you can complete it entirely on your own, and you’ll get a rich and vibrant world full of enough stories to keep you there for thousands of hours. In fact, I would advise you to start with the Classic version - a remake of 2004 World of Warcraft - so as not to get overwhelmed with content, before heading into newer ones.
Also, if you truly insist on solo/coop play, things like AzerothCore allow you to host a private World of Warcraft server for yourself and/or friends.
The only game I’ve had Skyrim vibes from is Elden Ring
I can’t get it to run without skipping frames, but there’s the Gate to Sovngarde mod pack that supposedly completely changes the game.
Red Dead Redemption 2 may not be the exact vibe you’re looking for since it’s western instead of fantasy, but goddamn is it a great game. Rich and interesting open world packed with things to find and do, unbelievable attention to detail, immaculate vibes of being out in the wilderness.

Elden Ring but its a little more difficult.

As a huge fan of Skyrim, I absolutely hated Elden ring. It’s Skyrim with better combat and everything else removed basically. I understand it’s a good game but it’s nothing like it.

They might play differently but you have to admit they are similar genre. Even mods to try and port content from one to the other youtu.be/ed6kKLd3Fso?is=DGeaMHn5XSCdeeFv
