I still can't get over The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? I want to try something newer, with better technology, but I hope they can be as rich and interesting as Skyrim.

Best advice I can give you is to just play Bethesdas other games, with maybe the exceptions of Fallout 4, Starfield, and Arena. Daggerfall has a Unity mod that makes it playable and Morrowind has OpenMW that makes it play nice with newer systems also Oblivion got a remaster a bit ago. The biggest problem with making suggestions past this point is that Bethesda struck gold and folks have been chasing it for over a decade with little success but I'll give you a list of maybes.

The original fallout Duology.

Arcanum.

Outward.

Kenshi.

The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series.

Mass Effect Trilogy.

Dragon Age, but only Origins and Inquisition.

Now for my probably not but I like them so here's some suggestions list.

Colony Ship.

Age of Decadence.

Dark souls 1 and 3.

Kenshi! Best sandbox game ever.

10/10 would be sold into slavery again.

Atomfall was a decent apocalypse style game not from Bethesda.

I've heard mixed reviews from other guys who share close opinions with me on games so I've generally avoided it. The consensus amongst said friend group is more or less good but not what any of us want.

Yeah, it's a decent stealth shooter, but not really comparable to an RPG like fallout

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago

Yeah not my cup of tea, I like stealth games where the focus may be stealth but I can go loud if I want or when I fuck up. I find Thief boring even if it's objectively a good game but I love Dishonored and probably put hundreds of hours into the PS3 version.
