Good suggestions here, I disliked Greedfall* and KOA as well, but found Dragon’s Dogma so good that I finished it on xbox and again on pc. If you like playing for the story it’s pretty barebones but the ending is great, and the combat and character building (+sidekick building) are better than anything else. it holds up pretty well for a 2012 release, but make sure to play the Dark Arisen version as it added easier fast travel. It is bound to be on sale as the sequel comes out in March
*Greedfall is much more story driven but you can’t avoid occasional combat
dystopia is when you limit your child’s exposure to pornography. wtf
