I have been playing a heavily modded version (over 100 mods) of Skyrim Special Edition and I have been having loads of fun, but until the 64Bit version of SKSE comes out, the mods are a bit limited. I will always come back to Skyrim, but in the meantime while I wait for both the 64bit SKSE and the next Elder Scrolls game, I want a change of scenery and I have a desire to put my time into something else. Here are some highly rated RPGs that I have already played on PC:
Witcher III: Wild Hunt - Honestly, I am probably one of the few people who actually doesn't like this game. I have never liked Geralt- he has always been a dull character and the thought of playing as him for hundreds of hours is just not appealing. I really disliked the original Witcher and while the second was better, it still was not my cup of tea. Witcher III is a vast improvement in almost every area from previous titles, but again I am stuck with a protagonist who I highly dislike. I am also not the biggest fan of the combat system. The funny thing is, if Geralt wasn't the main character I would probably like this a lot more.
Dragon Age: Inquisition - This game is probably the worst of the entire franchise. After spending about 20 hours within the game I just could not get into it. The story was terrible and the characters were just as bad. There are definitely stunning visuals, but the character animations are pretty bad. That all being said, I did think that the combat was pretty good, definitely better than Origins and DA 2. After EA bought Bioware, their games just have not been the same.
Pillars of Eternity - Probably one of the most overrated RPGs of all time. While the story is good, everything else is just meh. The classes are are not balanced whatsoever, the loot system gives almost no sense of progression and the first 20+ hours of the game is an absolute snooze fest. Did I also mention that this game is plagued with bugs? Its a mediocre Baldur's Gate clone at best that doesn't even have half of the charm as the Bladur's Gate games.
Fallout 4 - Or as I like to call it, Fallout 3.5, which is definitely a great game, but it feels more like an expansion of Fallout 3 than a brand new game. I have put about 80 hours into this, but I really haven't got into modding this, but that could be a possibility...
ESO - Basically a generic MMO with a fresh coat of Elder Scrolls paint. I have put a little bit of time into this, but I am on the fence. I think the classes are terrible, the combat is also pretty wonky, but exploring the world has been fun so far.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning - I would describe this as a hidden gem and this is probably one of my favorite action RPGs of all time. The combat is great and the story is pretty good, but I have already beaten this game twice. I am also pretty picky about classes and I would describe the classes of this game as pretty basic, but besides that I think its an awesome game.
Aside of the games already mentioned, I am open to suggestions.
