The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Many of the finest RPGs are about lone, roaming adventurers, but few, if any, do it as well as The Witcher 3. That craftsmanship is most seen in the landscape, which is filled with gorgeous sunsets and wind-tossed tree groves. But The Witcher 3's great brilliance is that it populates these unforgettable locations with NPCs doling out simple but memorable tasks (by the dozen) that contribute to one of the most human RPG experiences on the market. Geralt of Rivia may come across destitute elves fighting against local bigotry in fading roadside settlements; elsewhere, he may assist a self-styled baron in reuniting with his long-estranged daughter. These adventures address moral topics expertly without being preachy or presenting apparent solutions.

Throughout, much as in The Witcher 2, Geralt is frequently simply another figure on the stage of this chaotic world. This story of monster killing and inter-dimensional raiding becomes curiously and poignantly relevant in the process. The Witcher 3 is still amazing after a few years, but if you're like that, you can spice it up with some Witcher 3 modifications.
