Single character RPG with HoMM style battles

Not sure the best way to explain this but I'll try....

Heroes of Might and Magic was a game I grew up on. I started playing Songs of Conquest, which is great, and really reminds me of those HoMM games from the 90s. There are 2 primary things I'd like different in Songs of Conquest: no turn based movement, more first-person or third person exploring with more modern graphics.

I've seen and enjoyed how video games have evolved over time. So I'm looking for a HoMM style game but made for now. Any suggestions?

I'm picturing an open world style game (Zelda, Skyrim, etc) where you are exploring, finding treasure and other stuff as a single character, without any turn based mechanics.

But then battles are turn based and very reminiscent of HoMM. I'd also like some base building aspect, even if it as basic as HoMM used to be.

I thought Baldurs Gate would scratch that itch but I've never been a big fan of the multiple character aspect. I do generally like the battle sequences, but I'd prefer if it was my minions and not different characters.

I know I might be looking for a needle in a haystack, but thought I'd give it a shot at least.

Thanks!
