Skyrim is pretty bad compared to LotR, but pretty good compared to video games.

Witcher 3 may be the better pick from what I've heard, but I've barely played it.

The obvious choice, after reading other comments, is Baldur's Gate 3.

I'm interpreting this as tacit endorsement of arbitrary game removal.

I'm personally looking forward to seeing people whine about this is the future, losing bits and pieces of their library with no recourse.

Modern domesticated kings are different from a president trying to be king.
