Yup, I grew up before mouselook, using ALT to strafe, etc. when I was a kid I preferred inverted mouse for a while, and I remember in the late 90s shooter era I was still doing some weird hybrid of inverted mouselook + arrow keys instead of WASD. At some point I just dropped it and went to non-inverted mouse and WASD like everyone else.

There aren't any. After reading through the replies I can safely say that there is no single game that meets your criteria left. The few games that do like skyrim, fallout, stalker, cyberpunk etc you either played already or you are too picky to play.
My advice? Expand your taste in games or find a new hobby entirely because you will find nothing but disappointment with your current approach.

breath of the wild's pretty good about that actually
You do the 15 minute tutorial and then from that moment on you're very free to just pick a direction and go explore, and there's lots of open, natural spaces to go and wander. The game's great at giving you the "oh there's something in the distance over there, I want to go explore and see what that is" feeling.
"You see that mountain?" but actually delivering on it

'Inverted' was just 'normal' from inception of moving around camera views. It was only after NPCs became the main audience that this level of abstraction was too much for them and normal changed to inverted.

Enshrouded. But it's early access, and half the game is block building.
Huge world, very pretty, but most of the map's locked behind instakill red zones until you do the correct boss fights and base upgrades.

By being a direct sequel, it does come with "issues" for this specific aspect. There's less exploration because well, you've technically been everywhere already.
It works well as an expansion to breath of the wild, but it's not going to have the same feel as the first one simply by virtue of not being first.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is comfy as fuck. Nothing like riding through rugged mountains, plains, swamps and hunting everything that lives there. Tame a horse, hunt a bear, cook it, eat it, go to town, get a few brews, play some poker, brawl a woman's rights activist, lasso her and drag her behind your horse for a mile, sleep, eat, repeat.

If you play Gothic, also play Gothic 2 and 3. Maybe Risen and Elex as well.
And if you play Might and Magic 6, might as well play 7 and 8. Just don't mess with 9, trust me.
I would also like to add one more game: Wizardry 8. It's an open world, non-linear turn based CRPG with tons of depth and replayability. Highly recommend it.

Sable.
You're welcome.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>3873706
That's because you're used to closely packed maps with markers.
One of the wonders of Sable is you're not given direction and every discovery actually feels like a discovery. It's a game about freedom, exploration and discovery, and in that it excels.
And I didn't want to post spoilers.

>don't you find it boring
Depends on the game, Sable still offers challenges in the form of puzzles and is one of the few games where a lack of combat does work. Even if you're doubtful I would still suggest you give it a try.

Kenshi doesn't get nearly as much awareness as it deserves. It's not every day a completely new and different idea is introduced to an artistic medium. That game... that fucking game... is something unique. There really isn't anything quite like it. Maybe Dwarf Fortress or Rimworld? Maybe. But those are more on the management simulator end of that spectrum.

Supposedly good if you like Piranha Bytes-style jank. It has serious bugs though and for me it keeps crashing because of memory leak.
I have to say though, a Russian team releasing a PB-style game at a time when 2/3 of their potential market will be reluctant to check it out is pretty unfortunate. I hope it sells well enough in Russia to let them at least fix the major bugs.

I guess I'll put it on hold for the time being.
I'm looking for a Skyrim-type game, something along theblines of:
>open world with reasonable freedo to explore
>loose narrative
>character customization
>interactable world, bonus points if there's a crafting system of sorts, can build your stronghold/base, etc.
>first or third person
>combat system that doesn't suck, but doesn't need to be great either
>doesn't have high hardware requirements
I've been thinking about checking out Enderal, dunno if it's gonna be too "we got Skyrim at home".
But basically a game that's entertaining but doesn't require too much brainpower to play.
>>

.>>3866990
Skyrim is the worst game ever and playing it harms you. It should be illegal to play, to reccomend it, and really kill everyone who plays skyrim, you aren't even goycattle, you are just retarded!
Ignoring your requirements:
-Daggerfall
-Might and magic games
-Ark survival (base game; reduce dinosaur count a lot if you want; might make it more interesting and less laggy)
Lords of magic (lowest graphics award and strategy game award)
-Crusader Kings 2 (wrong category perhaps); lots of clicking and events over time rather then exploring
i guess you could get lost and explore vr-chat if you wanted to.
Its not large enough to actually be an open world game, but if you were to download a ss13 version and host your own server alone, you could play for many hours (just no saving possible), and experience a lot; instead of leveling there are all sorts of fantasy getting-stronger methods, and it will just be lonely, but otherwise really nice i think. Especially since there is a LOT to learn; like minecraft a bit, just 2D and more retarded
Anyways it seems like i dont have many ideas and suggestions; i dont know, perhaps its becausei dislike the concept of open-world games

If you're looking for something new, look up Tainted Grail - the Fall of Avalon.
Setting: Fae lands of Avalon, 600 years after the death of King Arthur.
Gameplay: Imagine if Skyrim, Dark Souls, and The Witcher had a baby.

I think Enderal is worth checking out if nothing else. It puts a lot of effort into slowing character progression, so you're scrambling to stay alive more (at least if you aren't careful about exploration), which I think is where the elder scrolls games are best. At high level you're just emptying everything any converting it to gold if it doesn't feel collectable anyway.
But there's aspects of the story that I find kind of off putting purely for the open world aspect of game (the story telling you things are urgent when there's no rush, ending that doesn't let you keep exploring, etc.). Not going to go into detail on that though.

Been playing this recently, got it during a sale. It's something between Skyrim, Morrowind, and M&B with a big focus on play styles, it has a story which I haven't finished yet but it's like a budget Skyrim. There's a lot of quirky stuff to make it stand out though, like the grappling hook you can attach to enemies to launch them (very satisfying), a giant rabbit mount and goblins with jetpacks and flintlocks, pretty great if all you want to do is wander around, do quests, find random things, and kill stuff.

>>
>>3886593
Well that depends what you like Op and why you like it. I like exploring a variety of things some of it like digital archeology and others because I am easily immersed into a game and larp and role play in my head for entertainment, I also do not mind procedural generated worlds and can headcanon shit generation away but I understand that it can be an issue for some people.
Some of my suggestions are probably not "RPGs" and some may actually just be you having to roleplay but they may scratch your exploring itch.
Of course all games can be expanded with mods for even more exploring.
Hope at least one of the games peaks your interest hope other anons put their exploring games in here as well. I love just getting lost, one of my favorite things about RPGs
Kenshi - Requires Roleplaying (Personal favorite)
Project Zomboid - Open World survival crafting zombie Kentucky
Dwarf Fortress (Adventure Mode) - Can do anything your auts desires
Escape From Tarkov (SPT) mod - Explore Tarkov
CDDA - Proc Gen Rougelike
Caves of Qud - Like above
Soulash 2 - Like DF adventure mode
UnReal World - Like above but as viking
Stoneshard - DF adventure mode
X4 Foundations - SciFi Mountain Blade
7 Days to Die - Kinda shit now a days but I use to like exploring the dungeons and PoIs.
Terraria - Not really RPG but lots to explore
Haven & Hearth - Exploring player creations
Subnautica - Explore open ocean alien world
One Hour One Life - Exploring player creations
The Forest 1/2 - Explore cannibal Island
The Long Dark - Explore Frozen Canada
Starsector - Explore a chunk of the galaxy
Rimworld - Explore planet
OSRS/RS - MMO more of an honorable mention
Unturned - Roblox & DayZ had a baby
PvE World of Warcraft Private servers - Explore Warcraft world
Wurm Online - Exploring player creations
MMO (Name) Private Server - Self Explanitory
Garry's Mod - Exploring dead servers is kino and sad
VR Chat - As above
Conan Exiles - Explore Conanverse area
Ark Survival - Explore Dino Isle
>>
be honest with you op... The closest to what you want is to get hit by a truck and pray for an isekai. i wasted the last 2 years trying to find a game like you described and THE CLOSEST i got was skyrim with another life mod. Removing the dragon and mainquest makes the game "better".
I hope someone one day to make a game like project zomboid but fantasy. Imagine building base whatever you want and go to explore the world freely.

Conan Exiles is cool to look at and explore. You do have to like base building stuff to really explore it, though. You can play single player, online PvE is pointless, and PvP if you like losing things.
Rust can be fun like that, too, but it's randomly generated. Don't have to PvP, you can do some modded servers like zombies which can be a lot of fun.
On the not an RPG front, I really like Red Dead Online for just getting lost and doing my own thing. I've never even played single player, when it launched, I just went online and never left. Most people have quit because hackers can be a problem, but I just ignore them and rejoin the lobby, usually puts me in a new instance and I just keep on with my cowboy larp.

Stalker anomaly/gamma, far cry 2 and 3 and far cry blood dragon, but idk if those require ubishit launchers, if they do just pirate them.

faggerfall unity with a buncha mods
at the very least its by far the biggest open world meme. so long as you arent imaginationally challenged it gives you the biggest/widest template of any RPG ever made. with a couple mods to fill out the overworld, change how fast travel works, add weather and survival, add random encounters/enemy camps etc, youre left with an enormous world where you can go do literally whatever tf you want

Where Winds Meet is both free and fun. Although technically an mmo, you can play almost the whole game solo. Has lots of exploration, decent combat, secrets and lore etc.
Only time you are forced to interact with other players is when you get crippled and need to request them to heal you. This usually takes like 2mins tops.

Along the same lines as this post, I'm going to suggest a weird hail mary suggestion.
Neverwinter Nights Roleplaying Servers.
The experience varies from server to server, and you're obviously going to encounter some weirdos, but these servers are mini home made MMOs, with most of these servers have existed for literal years and have tons of little traces of history left behind. You can explore the server, learn the history of the place, hear stories from people who were there around a campfire, and have a pretty comfy time if you're willing to be autistic for a little bit.
Special mention to The Easting Reach, it's a mostly dead server that is pretty unwelcoming to new people, but it has a lot of really well made areas, lots of cool things to explore and find, traces from old server plots and events and stuff, and the server's design philosophy of trying to be a realistically structured world rather than a D&D Adventure Theme Park means you can explore it for hours at level 1 so long as you avoid obvious monster dens.

Have you seen the absolute state of this industry? The best we're gonna get is the PC finding xerself through shagging most of middle earth and let me tell you a dirty little secret. Most of the people on 4chan would probably be fine with a game like that so long as it wasn't rainbow-coded and was straight instead.
