What is the most stereotypical fantasy RPG? (lemmy.world)

I’m looking for a single player game, first person or third person, but something more action or role-play oriented. Not particularly a fan of turn based combat

Imagine the most trash isekai. There is an Adventure’s Guild that posts quests on a board. You fight monsters, level up, get new skills, some of which are some real OP shit. you spend that money so you can stay at an inn, recruit powerful people for your party, buy new equipment, etc.

I want to go on quest to fight bandits, pick herbs, fight a dragon. There’s gotta be a dungeon of some kind. A “defeat the demon lord“ quest is not a dealbreaker, but I kind of just want something I can play as an adventure for a while. I want it to be the most stereotypical “Adventurer Game” ever.

P.S.

I’d prefer to not reinstall Skyrim for the upteenth time.

Isn't the Witcher series pretty much this? May not be as RP-friendly as others though.

If you're okay with a party-based, real time with pause system, there's Pillars of Eternity, Dragon Age, and Baldur's Gate.

There's also the Wizardry series, but I don't know much about it and they're quite old.

I haven't played any of the other games in the series, but Dragon Age Origin was solid

They are remaking Wizardry 1 under the banner Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord in early access on Steam
