What's a video game you were bummed about finishing, wishing the experience lasted longer? (lemmy.zip)

Open world, massive side quest backlog, skill based progression, crafting, random little "why the heck is this out here...?" moments, a decent stealth system, and generally interesting characters?

Hits most of the boxes for me. I don't think I would consider Skyrim replays ever again.

    Absolutely brutal learning curve, no power tripping until late game, requiring player to get good at the same time as character, no QoL features, in-built survival...

    Skyrim is a power fantasy casual RPG. KCD is medieval immersion sim with RPG elements.

    And crafting in KCD only has Alchemh and fixing stuff, whereas Skyrim has blacksmithing, alchemy and enchanting, each with skill tree.

    You're only selling it to me harder, haha

    I played through Skyrim at least three times, so it's just not the same. Great the first few times, but gets boring. The replay factor is high, but eventually you'll need something new to try, which is why I suggested KCD!
