Single player WoW-like game out there?

Any games where you keep playing the same character from expansion to expansion like WoW… but single player?

I do entirely solo play in WoW, in large part because I can keep this same character going for years, always building upon what’s already there, without having to start over. I haven’t found any solo games out there where you DON’T have to start a new character over from scratch as soon as a new expansion/sequel comes out.

Do any single player games like that exist? I want to progress one toon for a long time, but WoW is a MMO and I just want to play by myself.

Suggestions? Thanks!

I think the most in-depth RPG i have ever played would be Witcher 3, between the base game and the expansions, there’s months and months of stuff to do and it can be done with a lot of different playstyles/gear/weapons. Honestly not sure if there’s anything that you’re looking for like that, single player games aren’t really supported for year after year, they’re just released and then abandoned, some have a little DLC but that’s about it.

Someone else may have some better suggestions though.

It’s been about 10 years, so I might be misremembering, but I believe Dragon Age: Origins did this at least for one expansion, where if you played through the original game, you could either create a “new” character for the expansion or just bring in your already-existing one from the original game. Dialogue and the like was affected, too, based on whether you were this random new guy sent from elsewhere or an established character.

Skyrim? I have it in my library, never installed though.

Cool, I’ll check that out! Only one expansion worth, but something’s better than nothing.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is a game you’d probably enjoy. It’s been called a single-player WoW and I really like it. I haven’t gotten very far though.

The Elder Scrolls series as a whole. Morrowind and Skyrim are personally my favorite.

Dragon Age 2 is the most underrated Gem ever, but play Origins first, :).

also its worth going back as far as Morrowwind as I think someone else mentioned…great games…perhaps, actually yes better lore then WoW.

while action oriented and less “RPG” i recommend the LOTR Middle Earth games (Shadow of Mordor,etc) those two were fantastic combat and story.

Dragon Age origins and Final Fantasy 12 have that feel (especially origins)

Valheim is pretty dope if you like sandbox singleplayer games. DA Origins is a classic though. They really should remaster it.

Skyrim, just play it from 3rd person and there are some Wow-like mods you can get.
