Look, there is no need to get upset. It's not you, it's me.


1. Elder Scrolls Online (Summerset Expansion)

Elder Scrolls Online Summerset Gameplay

Maybe you’re not ready to leave Tamriel, but you’re ready for something that isn’t just Skyrim, or Oblivion, or Morrowind.  Maybe what you need are some Elder Scrolls friends? In that case, ESO is for you. Despite having a rocky launch, ESO has come a long way since its release by becoming free-to-play for the base content and charging reasonably for expansions. The combat has the same basic elements as its offline counterparts, with both ranged and melee attacks and the option to use a light or heavy hit, though the different engine definitely changes the feel of things. In ESO you’ll find all of the systems you love from Elder Scrolls like crafting, stealth, and quests, in addition to new features like dodging in combat and synergy attacks with your allies.

How it’s like Skyrim: It’s set in Tamriel, has a ton of NPC given quests, crafting, looting, and dungeon crawling.

How it’s Different: New combat features like dodging and bonuses for adventuring with allies, play socially with friends and strangers, no mods, but plenty of extra content from expansions and DLC.

Explore environments that are as stunning as you’re used to from Elder Scrolls games.

Great ready for epic raid missions to ancient ruins as part of the Clockwork City expansion.

These are just 10 games like Skyrim that you can check out, but there are a ton more. You could also look into Bethesda's other franchises, like Fallout, or keep the gameplay but go for a modern setting with something like Grand Theft Auto. When you aren't playing Skyrim, what do you load up?
