Abandon Skyrim! The Best NEW First Person RPGs In 2024 & 2025

Vanilla Skyrim brings s lot to the table, but , for me, it’s the mods that make my go-to rpg game.

A game that wants to unseat Skyrim from its throne will need to be very moddable by the community.

The game designers should build the game engine with 3rd party modding in mind.

If they can figure out how to make paid mods coexist with free mods while being a cut from paid mod sales, they will having a winning formula .

But don’t sell horse armor since there is a stigma around it.

Heresy

I HATE First Person...

Skyrim isn't just a 1st person game though and part of what makes it enjoyable is the option of 3rd or 1st person view.

I’m a simple man, I see the words “procedurally generated” and I avoid it like my mother-in-law.

If the Wayward Realms is even half of what they have said they want to make it could still end up being one of the best RPGs released in a long time.

Gothic remake should be on here as well :D its my nr 1 game for me atm, likewise as Avowed tho. I am currently slogging threw Pillars 1 (Find the combat boring), but the world, characters and story is fun!

Im one of the writers of Wayward Realms, just wanted to say thank you for the exposure, we appreciate it greatly.

Thanks for the post awesome stuff

Skyrim is undead!! foos ro daaah

But do they have booba mods

Monomyth is closer and maybe closets to modern of Arx Fatalis.. Not some simple dungeon crawl or Grim...

Literally 0 point even mentioning cyberpunk sequel or es6

Either not wort it, or did not released yet. So as always skyrim forever.

I don't feel stuck playing Skyrim at all. My passion for it is much stronger now than ever. Modding Skyrim is way easier now, and much more fun for me than ever before. I stopped buying/playing first person games in 2011. Not even Cyberpunk appealed to me, because it didn't have a 3rd person option. The only thing that would rival Skyrim at this point for me is a modded ES6. I am anticipating MS Flight Simulator 2024's release though.

i will only touch these games if they have skyrim's skilling, if none of these games have skilling, then i probably wont play it,,, i rarely see a game add skilling like that. i know it was popular in games that where made before i was born like ultma , and,, well runescape came out about... 6 years after i was born so... yeah. these games need to have the skilling, its what makes the elder scrolls games so fun to me, and there not as grindy as say, runescape, or some mmo.

After Starfield showed us all the cracks in BGS work (gameplay, dialogue, lore, player agency, hell even basic RPG elements) I don't expect a game with obvious cracks I only expect an abyss instead

monomyth reminds me Arx Fatalis. it was an underworld rpg, pretty old but it was unique in my childhood.

also cyberpunk sequel will definetly be released in 2077.

you cant abandon Skyrim, you can embrace new without getting rid of the old

I just started playing Monomyth a few days ago and it is amazing. It’s an old school feel with updated visuals.

I can't stop playing Skyrim, it's nostalgia from our childhood to till now no one can beat it. It's music gameplay is just an emotion ❤❤ So for sake of your video stop tilting your video with Shit Titles.

I wish more of these dungeon crawling games would incorporate at least some sections in the overworld. The beauty of Skyrim was seeing the stunning vistas after you've drudged through dark and damp dungeons. The contrast intensified both.

tbh, the only competitors to skyrim is the various skyrim mod projects xD other games are nice but they'll never "replace" skyrim

Do the new not know about modding or something?

Nothing can "kill" skyrim. It's a classic

im just here to say I never let skyrim go

Why haven’t we got another Skyrim game it’s one of the most played game giving how old it is and they just refuse to give us another one and I’m not talking about the online bs they came up with

I got suckered into the wrong "Tainted Grail" title - tried to pick this one up and ended up with "Conquest" which is some kind of D&D style 3rd person title with turn based card selection combat, a style I don't like at all.

I had no idea there were two titles and that it was a "series" - and these are entirely different games allegedly in the same universe. It's not high enough a profile series to be obvious (like the Fallout series) so I got suckered in to the wrong title.

Watch out people if you want a FPS RPG, Conquest is NOT this.

NO

It is rough that we approach the end of 2024 and it seems that none of these will get a full release by the end of the year.

Lunacid (and Daggerfall Unity) is the only one of these that released this year. lol

Some of them did release into early access, though.

If you think about it, it's funny that we're talking about Skyrim killer in 2024. But let's not jump ahead of us and set a too higher goal - we haven't even had a Morrowind killer yet...

Abandon Skyrim if u want, I love my Fus Ro Dah country

That was a good point about demos. I have started to see more and more of them, too. Hopefully it leads to less errors on releases!

Skyrim will still be just as popular when 6 comes out. Guarantee it. Skyrim just got everything right. Even the bugs are fun. 🤷‍♂️ other games will come out and be played obviously but if they want to one up skyrim theyre gonna need to put some serious effort and brains to even come close. Its just the way it is.

Skyrim is a unique game .
Play it ,
mod it till it breaks (worse than the condition Todd released it in) and stops working ,
delete ,
re-install ,
mod till it breaks , delete ............
Almost like a cycle ..... or an addiction . lol

No

“RPGs better than Skyrim in 2024!” I’m already playing Morrowind?

Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall II when?

Well, the real question is always how it compares to modded Skyrim.
Which makes it a really unfair contest.

Lunacid was so insanely fun, the only problem the powercreep. Can't wait for a Lunacid dlc, would buy again!

Outer Worlds was a huge disappointment and did not succeed in coming close to Fallout New Vegas... l expected too much from it

Nah i'll just play skyrim for the 1000th time but thanks.

It's November 2024 and The Wayward Realms has no release date.

Avowed release date Feb 2025

playing Skyrim in first person.. you are trash and I never want to talk to you. Any game like that forcing you into first person is trash..

Will outer worlds two be as short as the first one?

If wayward realms allows me to pick up/steal every little item like Skyrim does and jam it all in the drawers and cupboards of a house I buy or build, I’ll be happy. I don’t know why the insane pack ratting is such a draw for me, but there’s nothing quite like murdering your way through a random hole filled with bandits, only to by chance discover a hidden passageway leading to an ancient, buried castle filled with magical loot, goblins and monsters, setting up a little camp inside, stealing everything that isn’t nailed down, from armor and weapons to cheese wheels and strange looking rocks, solving a puzzle and then lugging it all back to your camp/house, dumping everything on the ground, organizing it all, reading one of the random books you just stole and then leveling up so you can either sneak better or learn to turn into a giant monster centipede. Then stealing a sword from the town blacksmith, failing, getting sent to prison, escaping, returning to slaughter the blacksmith that caught you and becoming the new blacksmith “after the previous one skipped town in the middle of the night”. Yeah, I want a new FPRPG bad
