Recommendations for Skyrim alternative?

Hi, I don't post a lot and had a little look to see if it has been asked before but nothing turned up so my question is this...

What is a good RPG like Skyrim? I've finished the main quests and about to start wandering around without much purpose because I'm not ready to say goodbye to it yet. I love the large open maps (especially sandbox), a bit of fighting is cool but not too hard core as I prefer to adventure and puzzle things out. Definitely needs to be 1st person. Rust looks cool but it is in dev still. Is there much around for me? I prefer single player btw. I've googled quite a lot but nothing much tickles my fancy

Thanks guys

 

There is nothing because Skyrim is the best RPG ever made.A modded out Morrowind will be the next choice for 1st person.

 

LOL yeah I know what you mean! Must find something to sooth the itch while waiting for TES6 Morrowind was irritating me loads as you walk so slow (unless I was inexperienced back then). Maybe I should go through and play them all again!

 

If it doesn't have to be in i a fantasy setting you can always try Fallout 3 or Fallout: New Vegas. More of a future apocalyptic setting which won't give you as pretty views, but the story and fighting is well worth it (can play on easier settings to make the fights easier).

 

Thanks! I will look that one up

 

I can HIGHLY recommend Fallout 3 and Fallout 3 - New Vegas. Both are great games in a similar vein/feel to Skyrim.

It is set in a post apocalyptic world.

Happy gaming.

 

The VATS in those games also make it a little better for those of us that aren't too adept at first person shooters with guns.

 

"VATS"? Thanks for the suggestions! I've also discovered Assassin's Creed though it doesn't feel as fluid as the others but it has potential. I put Fallout on my wishlist till it goes on sale

 

I agree with the fallout game mentions - really top games and parallel game play to Skyrim.

I liked the original Two Worlds too but it got very mixed results.

There are people looking at modding older elder scrolls games to the latest platforms, although I think they have a lot of work still to do TESRenewal: Morroblivion, Skywind, Skyblivion | Bringing Morrowind Back to Life

 

Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System - The Fallout wiki - Fallout: New Vegas and more

 

Ah thanks RE: VATS. Thanks everyone for the recs! I'll probably go with Fallout then on payday

 

I know this is a little late, but Dragon Age Inquisition is out now. I have only played about 4 hours so far, but it seems pretty decent.

 

I am looking forward to DA:I. I am hearing some good things! I played the first one, and thought it was great game.

 

Not going to play DA I till i finish the 1st 2, as i would totally fricking lost if i didnt :|

 

FYI, I started playing DA:I on the weekend and so far I would score it a 9/10!

Honestly the best single player campaign that I have played all year.

@LavaCaverns - Hurry up and finish DA 1 and DA 2 because you are missing out on an awesome gaming experience with DA:I

 

Some people will probably tell you that you can safely skip DA2, me included.

I was a huge fan of DA:O, couldn't stop playing until I finished it and DA2 was a huge disappointment, played maybe 10-15 hours and gave it up.

DA:I so far is great fun and seems very promising.

Don't forget to import a custom world tailored to the choices you made in the previous game(s) using the Dragon Age Keep. You can only do it in the start of a game and if you were attached to the story and characters of previous games, it adds to the atmosphere.

 

Actually I'd still recommend playing DA2 if you can stomach the extremely repetitive gameplay and scenery. It's not a very long game if you skip the side quests, its story and characters aren't that bad, and it leads directly into DA:I. Plus some of its characters have very important roles in DA:I.

 

DA did catch my eye a bit! One to try later though as I bought FC3 and am hooked on replaying the Tomb Raider series again. Old brain cells a bit duff as I can't remember a lot of levels I'm playing unless I skipped them back then lol

 

I recently purchased FC3 on the steam sale and have to say I'm really enjoying it. Will probably move to FC4 if I can ever stop playing DA: I

 

Haha I got mine in the Steam sale too!
