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.
Gotta be more specific. What about Skyrim are you seeking elsewhere?
The VR version with a ton of mods lol
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
I was so disappointed with a Witcher game. I forget which one it was, but good god, what a bore the intro is.
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.
Wait what? What is gay? Kcd2? I haven’t played it. Is it really that gay? Or are you saying you just wish it was super mega plus ultra gay?
Lol you can choose to play the character as gay if you’d like, but besides some dudes coming onto you there’s no forced gayness.
There’s definitely no mandatory gay sex scenes.
Yeah but HOW gay can it get?
There’s a few unskipable sex scenes that are pretty gay. Admittedly the control mechanics for the thrust are pretty well thought out and engaging, and its pretty funny the way your character reacts to getting the guy’s poo on his pizzle. But its definitely seemed kinda gay to me.
The 97 minute make out and soft porn cutscene with Drat in the tent during the North peak battle was peak, though I think they just reuse the thrusting mechanics from the sex scene. Darts super gay and wants it, but he gets shot by a stray arrow while looking for olive oil and you have to do a mandatory mourning quest. Real tear jerker, but you do get to meet the sexy Riddler Barley at the funeral
I haven’t played the game and I genuinely cannot tell if this is real but I’m choosing to believe.
Im a completely straight male but the mechanics genuinely give you a visceral feeling of actually penetrating another man’s asshole (i assume).

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
Bethesda just lost their spark. It’s all live-service pseudo shooters now in an outdated engine that bothered no one when they made good RPGs, but is woefully behind for shooter action as primary gameplay loop.
Oblivion.
I was gonna say Morrowind lol
The remaster is so so good. It still blows my mind.
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.
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
Rdr2 my friend, rdr2
Almost, imo. Rdr2 is outlaw simulator, Skyrim has the option to be any alignment. Or you can start a family and have kids and build a life.
If you want the same world building and hadn’t given it a try, Elder Scrolls Online is still great, can be acquired for cheap (even the base game has a lot of content), and be played almost fully solo!
If you didn’t mind the “floatiness” of Skyrim Combat, ESO is great, has a lot of world building and exploration, can be quite immersive at times, and basically has the look of a modded Oblivion.
I spent a good 400h on it, mostly on lore discovery, main and side quests, and farming not for equipment but to get furniture for my house! (and if I recall I still didn’t reach the max level, not a pro-player).
I never played it as an MMORPG, but more as a coop RPG while still playing solo most of the time. So I can’t judge on the quality of the MMO aspects (though the cyrodil constant battle system is quite fun and intense).
Yeah, +1
I think most write this off as a “MMO,” with the grindy hotbar and such, but it doesn’t feel like a WoW clone. Like (unfortunately) SWTOR did to me.
Enderal. Which is… a skyrim mod. Although calling it a mod does it a disservice, it’s a whole new game.
Highly recommend this! Amazing game
🎶 A whole new gaaame! 🎶
Telling people what in particular you like about Skyrim is going to get you much better feedback as there are many, many games that are similar in some ways but not others.
I’m just looking for a game where I can hoard consumables in perpetuity. Any suggestions?
You never know when you might need them.
Have you considered going meta and hoarding games you might play about hoarding consumables in perpetuity?
check out factorio… you can hoard as much as you want :D
Minecraft is actually really good for this, you can pretty much hoard everything the world has in it. I always end up just doing nothing but building hoards full of food and means to produce it everywhere like some small mammal preparing for a long winter lmao. I guess you should rather try the other games that mimic it though since microslop, but I haven’t tried those
The crab monacle mod 🦀🦀
Don’t tell my kid, who won’t stop playing Crab Rave over and over in Beat Saber (and wouldn’t stop watching the music video when we didn’t have a good VR setup), about this.
Sorry, nothing can match the glory of Posh Mudcrabs, especially when paired with samuel L jackson mudcrabs in SKYRIM.
I like the scripting language? It’s stupid easy to edit the bytecode and change something if you want to without needing a full dev environment.
Edit: honorable mention for worst scripting language in a game: X4. Have you seen a for loop in a xml-like “markup” language? Would you like to?
Have you tried Skyrim: Anniversary Edition, Skyrim: Special Edition or Skyrim: Legendary edition? /j
skyrim with kinect was genuinely the best version
Love the idea that you can actually scream the shouts :D
There was s Skyrim for Alexa add
Ok you want something as rich and interesting as skyrim, so I’m assuming open world games are your jam.
There are three games you should play.
-
Red Dead Redemption 2 - it’s a Western, the world is very believable, and it makes you feel like you’re really part of it. You can follow the main story line, or you could spend your days hunting and fishing. You could travel from town to town playing every poker game you can find. You can conduct train robberies, breed horses, really, there’s just a whole lot to do.
-
Cyberpunk 2077 - this is RDR2 but in a scifi dystopian future where the corpos own everything, sex is for sale on every billboard and every ad break, and the only justice is what you can achieve on your own. You’ve got a ticking time bomb in your brain and no time to fuck around. In this world where you can’t trust anyone, somehow what really matters are the friends you make along the way. (seriously)
-
The Witcher 3 - from the same studio that made cyberpunk, the Witcher 3 is truly a masterpiece of storytelling. The one caveat I have for this game is that it starts hard, almost “souls-like”. But get past that first rough hour and there is an extremely rich world with a seemingly unending collection of stories to become a part of. This may be the most skyrim-like of the games listed here, but you’re in for a treat, because this is a much better game than Skyrim.
All three of these games are gonna make you feel real feelings, they’re all actually better at telling stories than Skyrim is. The Witcher 3 in particular loves to live in the grey zone, it’ll make you make ethical choices that matter, and you probably won’t like any of the possible outcomes. But this is a good thing!
