Criteria:- Character creation- Multiple gameplay styles/classes (warrior, rogue, mage)- A vast open-world map fully accessible after the prologue (no towns or regions blocked by the main quest)- a completely optional main quest (spend dozens of hours on side/faction quests, buy a house, etc... without touching the main quest)With The Elder Scrolls having been in a coma for 15 years, a company could have seized the opportunity to fill the void with their own game.And yet, no one tried. No one tried to take advantage of the fact that Todd was sleeping on his treasure to sneak into his lair and steal the Arkenstone.Why? Just fuckin’ why?
>>3992987Too hard to make and even the best (realistic) attempt is destined to be inferior to TES.
>>3992987Every game that tries fucks up the balance somehow, usually by either not allowing any variety in the gameplay or by making their bad story and writing too central to playing usually by way of quirky companions who are the actual main characters
>>3992987This meets all of your criteria, OP.

>>3992987Anyone else heard of Wayward Realms? I have high hopes that it's going to be exactly like TES and doesn't screw up and fall into obscurity. It is directed by two devs who worked on Arena and Daggerfall (One of them sadly passed away, last year). https://store.steampowered.com/app/1685310/The_Wayward_Realms/
I've always wanted an Elder Scrolls style game set in the Warhammer Fantasy world.
>>3993309Pretty sure they abandoned UE5, so none of the screenshots are actually true.
>>3992987TES games are defined by their modding scene. Skyrim is getting new mods daily.
>>3993390Well there haven't been any good ones in a long time.
>>3993135>Every game that triesNone tryArdenfall is the closest but it isn't out yet so the above is still accurate. I hope Ardenfall fixes the fucking terrible dungeons found in the demo, though.
>>3993107>is destined to be inferior to TESI can't tell if delusional fanboy or just aware of how fucked the industry is.
>>3993754Considering not a single dev has come close to their formula, they must be doing something right. However intangible that 'something' is.
