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.
Have you played Dragon Age: Origins? It’s an older title, but sounds like it has everything you want.
And, if your itch can be scratched with something other than dragons, I’d recommend Mass Effect. The very first game in the trilogy is very much an RPG while the second and third games are more story and character focused. Overall, it’s just a good gaming time.
Mass Effect is my most favorite series ever. Also played dragon age and liked it.
