Searching for affordable, open-world RPG suggestions!
Hey all,
I have played through a handful of RPG's recently and have not gotten my fill. I didn't play many of them growing up so I am now diving in and understanding all the hype! Not to mention I am now playing them on a much more capable machine than my PlayStations were growing up.
So, a bit of background - within the past year, I have played:
- FarCry 4,5 and a bit of New Dawn
- Fallout 3, NV and 4
- Began playing ES: Morrowind
- Runescape (have been playing this since 07)
- Diablo 3
- Path of Exile
- A few others that do not come to mind
I have really enjoyed most of these with the exception of Morrowind. Morrowind was a bit too finicky to me - I understand it is a very old game, but the luck aspect played too big of a role to me. Though, this is the kind of RPG I am shooting for right now. NieR Automata I have heard great things about, but out of my price range. I have dabbled with Skyrim, but it is still a bit too expensive for my taste through Steam and I am avoiding G2A and other third party sellers as I have some Steam credit I am looking to use for this.
I know this sounds pretty specific, but I know there are so many RPG's out there that I don't know about so I thought I'd turn to you guys! I have had my eyes on a few - the Gothic series, Mount & Blade, and the Witcher series. I don't mind the games being old as long as they don't look horrendous and the gameplay is still great.
So what recommendations/experiences have you guys had?
The Skyrim special edition is priced at 24 dollars on Steam at the moment. What amount are you aiming to spend precisely?
I'm curious about that too. I believe Skyrim is a good value. Also, I'd suggest the Witcher 3 if you're looking for a good deal.
Ideally the price should stay around $15. I've heard good things about Skyrim and played it a bit, but I'd like to buy the original version for about $10 to $15. It seems the base game doesn't usually go on sale.
It is unfortunate. I was in a much better place financially upon building my PC but things have changed for the worse! Currently shooting for some change in that department though.
So, yes until then, I will stick to what I have unless a massive sale is available, which is unlikely. I will look into Divinity - have heard about it, but not heard much about it.
