I’m looking for a single player game, first person or third person, but something more action or role-play oriented. Not particularly a fan of turn based combat
Imagine the most trash isekai. There is an Adventure’s Guild that posts quests on a board. You fight monsters, level up, get new skills, some of which are some real OP shit. you spend that money so you can stay at an inn, recruit powerful people for your party, buy new equipment, etc.
I want to go on quest to fight bandits, pick herbs, fight a dragon. There’s gotta be a dungeon of some kind. A “defeat the demon lord“ quest is not a dealbreaker, but I kind of just want something I can play as an adventure for a while. I want it to be the most stereotypical “Adventurer Game” ever.
P.S.
I’d prefer to not reinstall Skyrim for the upteenth time.
Good suggestions here, I disliked Greedfall* and KOA as well, but found Dragon’s Dogma so good that I finished it on xbox and again on pc. If you like playing for the story it’s pretty barebones but the ending is great, and the combat and character building (+sidekick building) are better than anything else. it holds up pretty well for a 2012 release, but make sure to play the Dark Arisen version as it added easier fast travel. It is bound to be on sale as the sequel comes out in March
*Greedfall is much more story driven but you can’t avoid occasional combat
