I can only recommend a game like The Fall of Avalon to anyone who enjoys open world rpgs. It succeeds where many other similar games fail: by making the exploration more often than not always worth it, whether it's an extra magic item or a new quest hidden in the most remote tiny bit of land, sea or closed door you haven't explored/unlocked. While not ALL of the side quests are of the highest quality, the average level is still way above most of its competitors where all you get are boring fetch quests. The story, the main quest and the dark, gritty game world, not without the occasional humor, make the experience interesting and pleasant, repeatedily making you extend your play session by "just ten more minutes" until you lose track of the time. Many of them seem to have different ways you can solve them, which should ensure a good degree of replayability as well. The combat is similar to Skyrim and the likes, but with a hint of Dark Souls, meaning that you are given a "dash" button that you can use to move in and out of range, but you can't spam due to stamina/restrictions, but you can improve by investing into the right perks (similar to Skyrim). You are also allowed to try using perfect parries (no damage incurred when blocking), although the timing window is quite small, but again it can be increased by investing in the appropriate perks. You can build your character however you want, and there are potions in the game that allow you to retrain completely your character, letting you respec without the need to start a new game on a new character if you so wish. It takes time getting used to, but while it's not anything revolutionary, it's still far better than most of its competitor, and offers a good degree of challenge at the highest level, without letting you face ridicolous "human sponges" in the early game like the legendary level of skyrim. There's also a free demo available that I highly recommend you try beforehand. I am running out of character, try it!
