what's a game with a massive fantasy world i can get lost in? something where i can chill out at a cozy little inn after a long day of adventuring.
bonus points for wizards, dwarves, skeleton soldiers and all that good shit. survival elements would be cool too, something where it's dangerous to go out at night and there's an actual threat of dying.
I'm looking for this too.
I'm coming down from Blood and Wine and just want another world to get immersed in.

DD is really good for a couple dozen hours worth of getting lost in the world.
I recently got Gothic 3 and Risen 3 on the hopes that one or both can satisfy my hunger for actiony-explorey-comfy rpgs with great atmosphere, since I think I might have exhausted the list of games like this that interest me otherwise. :(
>>342784010
Check out Baldur's Gate or Neverwinter Nights.
The latter if old as shit gameplay designs fuck you up
>>342783419
not at all, I like the game but there's literally one major city, a fishing village, and a couple of garrisons here and there. You also fight the same shit over and over half the time, the quicker you finish that game the better becuase you would have seen the best of it before it starts repeating itself
>>342784143
Tried BG, didn't really like it. Granted, this was probably 12 years ago, so maybe I should give it another try. Also I loved Arcanum, which is similar, so maybe I should give it a try again... thanks Anon.
Played the shit out of NWN 1 and 2. So good.
RIP NWN, you didn't deserve to have your name shat on by the cashgrab MMO.

Skyrim with 100 mods and Realistic Needs mod.
I'm in the same boat as you OP. I'm playing the FFX remaster until the Skyrim special edition comes out, because I've never played it.
Dark Souls
Is there something like this on ps3? Not skyrim though, im straight.
>>342785050
Fallout

Last one before I sleep, Divine Divinity.
This games gives you that feeling that you are the only person to have done whatever it is you have done. It's hard to explain, but give it a lash if you're looking for new things
>>342784793
whats the best mod pack for skyrim? I cant be assed to configure 100 individual mods again just for it to be all fucked up
>>342783304
Lying this much for one of the worst MMOs in existance.
>>342782810
Just play wow
>>342785249

>>342784592
But regarding your point, the fighting is still fun I found even though there are similar enemies. The amount of classes you can go makes the same enemy a different fight.
Gran Soren is pretty neat, plus just getting around is most of the fun in the game. Those teleport stones ruin it I find, unless you only have one of them, which you get once you beat the game, or the gryphon, I cannot remember.
>>342785371
We already went over this. WoW is shit.
Oblivion. You can get it for 10 bucks on the summer sale and so far I'm having a blast as its my first real entry into the series, I didn't really like skyrim because i felt that whIle I could do a whole bunch, it felt pointless where oblivion feels different. It seems there are more consequences from your actions. From talking to guards to fighting wolves and potentially getting diseased and the mods mang the mods
>>342785524
if you have no imagination sure, but then you might aswell play CoD or something
>>342784010
Yeah there is only so much time you can spend i that world but it gives a really good adventure feeling.
>>342785958

>>342785249
I forgot this game exists. I have it laying somewhere, never bothered trying it out.
Anything I should know before I start? Are other games in series also worthwhile?
I want the same thing. I'd also take a space game that does it. Freelancer didn't do it for me. Rebel Galaxy on my peasant station isn't doing it. My PC is too shit to run the X series of games or Elite Dangerous but I doubt those will satisfy me either. I don't even fucking know what I want.
>>342785958
>You can get it for 10 bucks on the summer sale
Or get it in the bargin PC section in electronic stores or some shit.
Last time I saw it was for like 7€

WoW was designed to specifically be the most casual MMO. They made it extra cartoony, held your hand through everything, and all the story is presented through speech bubbles, they didn't even bother with cutscenes until several expansions in.
OP asked for a fun immersive experience. That's the opposite of WoW. You chose the worst MMO, get over it already, It's been years.
>>342782810
Oblivion. It's much more comfy than Skyrim.
>>342786961
This has to be a bait. How is Obv more comfier than Skyrim?
>>342783647
Every thread someone posts this shit
no wizards or elves
no cozy taverns
no massive world, just a labyrinth of corridors and nothing resembling a real city. literally the only relevant thing related to his post is the threat of dying.
everything u asked.
RPG games never felt this alive
>>342786764
Warcraft has always been cartoony, I dont understand the complaint
Also whats wrong with text and speech bubbles? Plenty of the best rpgs are based on text not cutscenes
WoW is shit, but you dont even know why.
>>342787242
Because that looks anti-comfy. Fuck off you don't know what comfy means.
>>342786764
>OP asked for a fun immersive experience. That's the opposite of WoW
you very clearly have no immagination if you can't even immerse yourself in fucking WoW
>>342782810
Fucking Gothic series nigga. Don't even try if you are a casual tho.
>>342782810
Fable Anniversary.
Its $5 at the moment. I didn't think it would pass the test of time but its just as fun and cozy as it was 10 years ago :>
>>342787242
The soundtrack, dude that soundtrack is comfy as hell!
I love Skyrim, Oblivion and Morrowwind, played the shit out of them all, but to me Oblivion is the comfiest.
>>342787565
Which Gothic would you say is the best?
>>342786415
Not sure I can run those either but I'll look up a torrent for Evochron Mercenary and see how it runs. Are the space stations more interesting than Freelancer and Rebel Galaxy where it's just preset lines they'll say no matter where you?
>>342787695
Agree, the soundtrack and all the greenery, the plains and the city designs. It's all far comfier than Skyrim's shitty bland, cold and depressing locations.
>>342787938
Not that guy, i say 2 with addon.
Then again 2 was my first
>>342784793
>100 mods
Try 500, and you've got yourself a fun/pretty game.
>>342787938
Definitely not 3 or Arcania, 1 and 2 are on par, 1 being the more atmopheric one while 2 is highly polished, especially with NotR. I would start with G1 becuase you revisit a lot of locations in 2. If they don't click with you, Risen 1 is similar and very enjoyable.
Protip: Read the manual.
Dragon Age: Origins is really comfy.
Oblivion is the GOAT comfy fantasy game if you've never played it before. If this was 2006 I would recommend Guild Wars or Maplestory. In their prime those were the 2 comfiest MMOs ever. Guild Wars 2 is okay, but it was also at its comfiest a few years ago and it's died off now.
>>342788364
>what's a game with a massive fantasy world i can get lost in?
>DA:O
>>342787523
If you think immersive means "you can waste a lot of time here' you're fucking retarded. There is nothing immersive about doing 300 kill x number of x monster quests in a row.
It's cookie cutter and formulaic. Those things break immersion. If you want immersion you need a world that feels alive, and doesn't look like the same zone 40 times with a different texture on the ground.
Immersive is Gothic, or TES, or Divine Divinity, or Dragon's Dogma or Witcher. Not fucking WoW.
You use these words you hear on /v/ but you've got no concept of what they mean.
It doesn't exist.
The closest would be something like an elder scrolls game or gothic. But what you're looking for is a fantasy series with a grounded sense of reality.
I'd actually like a game where you're just a mercenary trying to get rich so you can settle down later in life.
No stupid quests about civil wars or overwhelming demonic invasions, instead, lots of quests with good detail and intrigue and layers upon layers of underlying mystery and lore that builds up a grand personal quest that nets you treasure.
Yeah treasure that's a good idea. Games railroad you too much regarding treasure hunts. It's either "grab 50 of a specific item for an achievement" or a "find this specific item" quest that's usually quite underwhelming.
Though a game of this scale would be very difficult to make if you wanted it to be good.
>>342782810
As I was reading the thread I was going to recommend FFXI, comfy starting nations, lots of fun NPCs to interact with, incredible comfy music. But there's already faggots arguing about WoW in here so this post already has 20 shitpost replies before I even complete it.

>>342789245
I'm going to cry if I think about that game. I miss it so much
>>342788965
Imagine releasing the game and you can just play infinitely accumulating wealth by risking life and limb, to the point where you have a fence or auctioneer liquidating the loot you bring back, then in the second chapter of the game, you design an estate, and can continue adventuring for loot or design a business from the ground up hiring underlings to mine or farm or adventure for you, allowing you to expand your estate.Bonus points if you slowly age, and need to marry and appoint an heir to continue your game.
Something like Oblivion but with a completely non-linear narrative/quest progression and also comfiness.
Also with a relatively realistic scale. I want cities to be like cities. I want towns to be like towns. Farms should be huge. Villages should be decently sized. But of course, not too big or else it'll be boring.
>>342789245
every time ffxi comes up i play this song and cry
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHGUmnrkYi8
i miss you
>>342789391
is that a fucking ship in mid air?
>>342788965
I've often thought about a fantasy game based in realism. Something like if you try to take on a few orcs by yourself you're more than likely just gonna get killed. Or there are dragons and other legendary creatures in the game that you have no hope of beating. You're just a normal ass person in the world like everyone else. It'd be difficult to make a world like that and even more difficult to make it enjoyable. It'd just end up as tedious and frustrating because a normal man couldn't kill a cave full of goblins by himself and claim some long lost treasure. Even if he had three buddies with him they'd probably all still die. I just want a fantasy world that behaves like you'd expect it to if it was made real.
>>342789561
Oh yeah, an heir system that acts like a ng+ of sorts, but the experience would be widely different and the things that your predecessors have done could have an effect on the world in a way.
I'm reminded of Rogue Legacy but I suppose that's not exactly the same.
>>342786221
I don't understand your point? There are people who don't even know there were any elder scrolls games before skyrim which is much sadder. Kys
>>342789715

Alright so all the Elder Scroll babies and other old-school rpg babies aside. The best comfy rpg is Witcher 3.
>>342789957
Love that mod
There's another one that's modeled similarly to superman's fortress of solitude that I prefer but that ship is sexy
>>342788965

>>342788965
The game literally exists. It is called Witcher 3.
Why does no one want to return to runescape? It's the ideal level of comfy. All you do is level, quest, and talk to people. All of what OP is looking for can be found in certain areas.
>>342791820
W3 is an interactive movie where you follow a waypoint and mash the attack button in between, it has no sense of exploration whatsoever, you might stumble upon a monster nest or something like that now and then but that's it. The Witcher is a great story but an okay game at best.
>>342790619
I just spent about an hour fishing moat carp in Windurst Woods, next to the fountain.

>>342792674
What are you hoping to find when you explore in your ideal game? There are more than monster nests in TW3. There are abandoned castles, ruins, towers with bits of story to them scattered around. Yes there are plenty of bandit camps and monster nests, but even those sometimes have a bit of story added to them, or do you expect a lore-filled ruin everywhere you turn? TW3 is the best example of the idea that >>342788965 laid out.
>>342794787
Just take Bethesda out because I don't want meme arrows guiding me everywhere. I need to be able to talk to NPC by charisma threats or bribery to get info on where the fuck to go. And no fast travel.
>>342794787

>>342795092
Why are you complaining about fast travel? You don't have to use it. You an also u check your quests if you want to. Not everyone wants to spend 20,000 I'm game hrs finding where you have to go next.
>>342787681
It helps that they fixed issues like premature balding, or deformed facial features.
>>342795648
While I do agree in theory, in practice it just makes them lazy. In Skyrim, if you do that, you'll never have any idea remotely where you're supposed to go for quests, because no one gives you directions, because the designers assumed you'd be using the arrows.
Gothic 2
>>342795648
Fast travel is for absolute casual babies who can't appreciate what a real RPG should be like.

WHY CAN'T THEY JUST MAKE A GAME AS GOOD AS GOTHIC 1 AND 2
WHAT HAPPENED
I HAVEN'T PLAYED ANY OF THE RISEN GAMES
>>342796049
Risen 1 is almost as good as NotR if you play on hard, you should try it nigga. R2 ain't as good but it's ok for one playthrough, still worse than G3. Risen 3 is solid, on par with G3 i'd say.
what are some good CRPGs?

>>342793479
I'm not that anon, but even in released I really liked it. Now there have been lots of improvements and apparently the game is great, I haven't played for a while so I don't know.
Anyways if you enjoy TES games you are bound to enjoy this, and the world is actually pretty good, the Daggerfall Covenant areas are pretty interesting imo.
>>342793479
he may not think he's lying but don't do it.
It has nothing to do with elder scrolls games besides the "lore". It isn't anymore "immersive" than other themepark mmos and phasing is everywhere (that particularly bugs me, makes questing with friends annoying).
It's not godawful as far as themepark mmos go but you can do better, it's just very very very mediocre.
>>342784793
I'll second heavily nodded skyrim played on a good rig. Even if you can't manage some of the insane graphics mods there are plenty meant for creating further immersion. Shit's cash. Look it up.
>>342782810
i too and am interested in this type
sadly, without 46 gigs of mods for skyrim, it dont exist
lichdom battlemage is too linear
never tried two worlds 2
>>342798109
it already sounds better than every single elder scrolls game before it
>>342798526

The game is great. The only part of it that is explicitly subpar is the last region of the game. It was grossly incomplete and left full of enemies with no quests or anything to accompany them, meaning just one big slog until completion. It's a shame, but fortunately it's completely isolated and you have a choice for when you commit to it, meaning it's a decent marker for when you're about to beat the game.
>>342788919
I fucking love Luther Strodes artist.
This shit is beautiful.
It makes me sad that no RPG (or any game for that matter) captures the feeling of adventure and questing that works like The Hobbit have.
DaS kind of does it in a way, but it's too dark to ever be comfy and everything is pretty much dead so theres no inns to kick back and relax before/after adventuring.
Darkest Dungeon also gets close with the whole camping mechanic and the town, but still also falls short because the exploration is non-existent.
It doesn't exist, at least not to the extent that a fantasy novel can fulfill. Video games are just watered down versions of that.
>>342783304
Found a shill
>>342784793
Immersion in Skyrim does get a lot better once you throw in Cutting Room Floor and that immersive NPCs mod. For whatever reason tons of NPC content was cut out that brings a lot more life to the cities.
is kingdoms of amalur comfy

Warhammer, Vermintide even has you chilling out in an inn between missions.
>>342785304

dont listen to that fuck who replied, i liked it and i'm still wondering if i should just play it on my pc or ps3.
>>342802161
how comfy does single player WoW sound?
>>342784793
100 mods is kind of an exaggeration but yeah, Skyrim with Frostfall is both cozy and tense as fuck. Cozy when you're chilling under a tent by a warm fire drinking mead, tense when you're up in the mountains freezing and soaked from falling in a river and trying to clear a safe spot for a camp while freezing to death.
Are there any fantasy games that put a bigger emphasis on questing within the city rather than wilderness and dungeon looting?
>>342802510
>What are carriages?
Btw I can't think of a single quest where the game forces you to use fast travel.
And there are random encounters on the road.
>What is M'aiq the liar
>>342804078
Also mods that let you kill kids are a necessity because there are some kids in the game who REALLY need to die.
>>342804219
>What is M'aiq the liar
The random event I run into 3 times out of 10. The rest is made up of random bandits or imperial soldiers or afflicted refugees.

Quest for Glory series.
Especially Quest for Glory 4.
May not be massive, but it delivers on everything else.
>>342804236
I prefer mods that lets you fuck the kids personally, with the pregnancy mod. Cuz pregnant lolis in skyrim is just funny
>>342804893
Witcher is great compared to shit we're currently swimming in, but it's writing is nowhere near the old Obsidian or Interplay.
Morrowind
Skyrim
Witcher 3
Gothic Series
If you are really desperate:
Two Worlds 2
Dragon Age Inquisition
Neverwinter Nights 2
Divinity 2
Arcania
Risen Series
>>342805365
I'd argue that the Bloody Baron quest beats most of Obsidian and Interplay stuff.
If open world is a requirement then Skyrim and The Witcher 3 are literally your best options.
>>342804893
Didn't try Witcher 3 but I really hated the level design in Witcher 2. Too much emphasis on trying to look purdy while limiting player movement with excessive amounts of invisible walls and stupidly strict places where you could jump off or climb up ledges.
Besides, invisible walls have always been a pet peeve of mine. If you want to block a player from going somewhere put a fucking rail or wall in front of it, not a pointless invisible barrier.
>>342805107
>Love of open world fantasy stuff got me into table top
>Actually having a great time
You really need the right group to make it work though
>>342782810
Have you played Morrowind?
Have you played Dragon's Dogma?
Play Enclave if you haven't, it's not really an RPG or open world but it should scratch the action adventure fantasy itch.
>>342805365
Have you even played the Witcher 3?
The Bloody Baron storyline, H&S and B&W dlcs have the best quests/writing/characters ever created in an rpg.
>>342805590
I haven't played 1 or 2, but witcher 3 is completely open world.
>>342805714
>The Bloody Baron storyline, H&S and B&W dlcs have the best quests/writing/characters ever created in an rpg
witcher 3 is a wonderful game, but you must have not played a lot of RPGs if you are serious about this
>>342805742
Witcher 1 is also open world albeit limited however the gameplay is really no fun unless you got a thick skin.
>>342806009
not him but i've played nearly every crpg and i think h&s and bits of w3 and b&w are definitely contenders for best quests
>>342802161
it gets pretty dull after awhile.
it just plays like a single player mmo.
