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
Red Dead Redemption 2
Witcher 3
Kingdom Come Deliverance
For me it was Witcher 3 and the dlc. Love that game so much…
And a new DLC is coming soon!
This is the right answer
The VR version with a ton of mods lol
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.
Heavily depends on what makes Skyrim special for you.
The most obvious similar games are other Bethesda titles, especially Oblivion and Morrowind. Install some QoL and graphical mods, and you should now have 3 Skyrims.
Oblivion.
Kingdom Come Deliverance 1 was great.
But it’s a Medieval RPG, not fantasy. So you won’t find elves or orcs or magic.
Edit: Actually nevermind, don’t play it, it’s too strict of an RPG, not for everyone, (i.e. fighting more than 2 people can kill you easily unless you master the combat, using a bow won’t give you the center reticle, saving the game needs a specific item or you need to sleep in a bed, wearing a helmet will limit your vision to the shape of the visor, etc)
I suggested this because my Skyrim was modded to be a strict RPG as well.
Greatest game ever. I love the fighting system the limited vision etc
And the sequel is of equal quality, the combat was simplified a bit but I like both approaches.
The sheer amount of high quality narrative across both games is pretty unique. There’s very little that feels like filler busy work, which was what most of skyrim felt like for me. Especially after oblivion.
I hear great things about it, I didn’t mention KCD 2 because I didn’t play it.
All those things you added can be added to Skyrim as well via mods
Yeah that’s what I said, I suggested KCD because I was playing a modded Skyrim.
If OP wants the feel of vanilla Skyrim, then KCD is not the right choice.
got any recommendations on favorite mods from your Skyrim version?
It’s been a few years since I played it, so I don’t really remember most of them and even if I did, there’s a good chance they are outdated or are replaced by newer mods.
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
Gotta be more specific. What about Skyrim are you seeking elsewhere?
Rdr2 my friend, rdr2
Totally biased, since I lived in half of my life in Skalitz. Have you considered KDC?
As a huge Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim fan, I’ve found the same. KDC in many ways hit many of the same vibes but with superior characters, story, and dialogue. The missing magic is a vibe I still return to mostly Oblivion for these days.
And it’s a technical marvel. It’s like CryEngine was built for KCDII.
Also, it is so medieval it hurts.
Kingdom Dome Celiverence?
Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon
An indie game which has a lot of Skyrim vibes.
I’ve been getting into it slowly. The doom and gloom vibes are a little much, but I think I can still hang
Honestly, I haven’t started. But several people recommended it, describing it as Skyrim like.
RDR2 and Cyberpunk. Although they are more linear roleplaying games than Skyrim’s experimentation.
You need a lower dopamine threshold to make the most of those games, but they’re a treat when you learn how to do that.
Tell me how to lower my dopamine threshold! As someone with ADHD I am absolutely addicted to dopamine and don’t know how to quit. I try to dedicate one day a week to allow myself to be bored but it is beyond difficult to maintain any sort of habit when you have ADHD. I just want a steampunk game that’s somewhat grounded in reality, set in an alternate past where the tech really works.
Have you tried amphetamines?
Yes and they raise the threshold. Can’t take them because I get one day of functional bliss and then a week of misery after. Adderall is the worst drug I’ve ever tried for ADHD. The non-stimulants are no better because they do nothing at all.
