I’m looking for a single player game, first person or third person, but something more action or role-play oriented. Not particularly a fan of turn based combat

Imagine the most trash isekai. There is an Adventure’s Guild that posts quests on a board. You fight monsters, level up, get new skills, some of which are some real OP shit. you spend that money so you can stay at an inn, recruit powerful people for your party, buy new equipment, etc.

I want to go on quest to fight bandits, pick herbs, fight a dragon. There’s gotta be a dungeon of some kind. A “defeat the demon lord“ quest is not a dealbreaker, but I kind of just want something I can play as an adventure for a while. I want it to be the most stereotypical “Adventurer Game” ever.

P.S.

I’d prefer to not reinstall Skyrim for the upteenth time.

    AKA Final Fantasy Mystic Quest in Eagle-land.

    Which is an invitation to address Square’s bizarre regional titles. It’s called Mystic Quest Legend because the only previous Final Fantasy game in Europe was Final Fantasy Adventure on Game Boy, retitled Mystic Quest. Except it was already retitled - the original game is Seiken Dentsetsu, AKA Sword Of Mana. (Secret Of Mana on SNES is a direct sequel.) And they combined it with the other Final Fantasy series on Game Boy, Final Fantasy Legend. Except that’s also retitled! It’s SaGa. As in Romancing SaGa and Frontier SaGa, not that Yurp ever got those games either.

    So it’s a deliberately shallow spinoff of a series that’d already been renumbered from 3 to 2 and 6 to 3, rebranded to match a completely different franchise that was itself rebranded. This is Sierra adventure game logic. It’s making a fake mustache out of cat hair to match an ID card which you’ve drawn a mustache on.
