RPGs That Feel Like True CAMPAIGNS

[Spike]

Hi Codex. I made a similar thread shortly after I first joined in April 2023 calling it something like "True RPG Experience" or something. But I want to see what kind of answers I get by changing the language to "campaign". What I am talking about is a game that has that epic "campaign" feeling of, say, (vanilla) WoW (so I hear) or Everquest, but is single-player. Some come to mind off the top of my head: Outward, Mount and Blade (Warband and Bannerlord). As a side note, are there any MnB mods that capture this well? I am aware of a few (Prophecy of Pendor? Brytenwalda?) but recommendations would be nice so I could narrow my search. I also remember being told Might and Magic 6-8 are like this. And some others.

To clarify, the amount of time and things you see in WoW over time, most of all the investment in your character, feels like a campaign. A campaign of one, ultimately: your toon and how you tackle the world and its many challenges. A modern (nu-male) word would be "content". What single-player games convey this? I know all RPGs to an extent capture this, and I sort of feel it playing Diablo 2 mods (Median and Project Diablo 2), but I am looking for anything I may have missed, or is some epic mod or obscure hidden gem or something. Tamriel Rebuilt is another good example of this.

Thanks fellas.

Aren't you just asking for RPGs that are very long?

I suppose, but I am also looking for deep character investment too. No need for reddit reac

I'd tell you to play Owlcat's Pathfinder RPGs, but from the examples you cited it sounds like you're primarily looking for a non-party-based, single character RPG with a heroic "one man against the world" narrative arc.

Maybe try playing one of the longer Neverwinter Nights fan modules?

Pathfinder sounds cool, that's in the backlog. NWN fan modules sound good as well.

Dragon Age Veilguard feels like a true camp-pain.

Blood and Steel.

This sounds phenomenal. What a recommendation
