  • Lots to discover

A vast, freely explorable northern realm packed with dragons, dungeons and side quests, where you grow into any role simply by doing it – warrior, mage or thief. The joy lies in wandering off in any direction and stumbling into stories everywhere.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

Open world

A legendary open-world RPG set on the alien volcanic island of Vvardenfell, prized for its total freedom, bizarre world design and deep lore. With no quest markers, you navigate by directions, join factions and shape your character however you like.

Gothic 3

Open world

A vast, freely explorable Myrtana under orc rule where you side with orcs, rebels, assassins or nomads and carve your own path through the world. The game is notoriously buggy but beloved for its atmosphere and Kai Rosenkranz's sweeping score.

The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall

Open world

Daggerfall is a vast sandbox RPG with a huge, procedurally filled world of cities and dungeons. You create your own class, join guilds and factions, and approach the main quest however you like.

Divine Divinity

Strong character progression

An early Larian action RPG with a huge, freely explorable world, countless side quests and a classless character system that lets you blend warrior, mage and thief skills as you like.

Gothic II

Fantasy setting

A handcrafted, densely populated fantasy island where the Nameless Hero rises from weakling to champion, joins a faction, and has to earn every bit of progress the hard way. The cult classic thrives on its believable world, gruff dialogue and a superb sense of discovery.

Gothic

Melee combat with weapons or fists

As a nameless prisoner dumped into a mining colony sealed by a magic barrier, you claw your way up from nobody with no quest markers, joining one of three camps and learning skills only from trainers. Its harsh, believable world full of gruff characters and its unforgiving, clunky combat made it a cult classic.

Risen

Fantasy setting

A classic Piranha Bytes RPG in the spirit of Gothic: as a nameless castaway you explore a dense, handcrafted volcanic island, join a faction and claw your way from weakling to hero. Tough combat and a believable, lived-in world are its core strengths.
