Former Skyrim Player Looking for Recommendations

So its late 2025. You're a former Skyrim junkie whose love of Bethesda games has finally hit a wall. You found Avowed mid to okay at best, and you're current favorite games are Eurotruck Sim 2 and Coffee Talk.

You don't mind fair combat but you wouldn't play a Souls-like for an hourly wage, more less free, and Last time you played Skyrim you found your favorite parts were the deeper lore based stories and gathering supplies in town to ensure you could tackle the next quest...which, of course unfortunately turned out to be yet another Draugr Tomb...which is why you're here.

You've got head tracking gear and a joystick but find flight sims boring and Elite shallow and pointless. (Ditto NMS). You've got a wheel but don't race; you drive to relax and take in the scenery or explore. You like combat and RPGs but need depth and variety.

Are there games you'd recommend for someone like me...or am I just too niche or picky (because honestly, I just might be too much of both).

Thanks.
