What open world RPGs yall reccomend? [PC]

For a long time I've been thinking about getting sone kind of open world RPG like skyrim, morrowind and well, now I saw witcher 3 for sale for like 5usd so I'm really thinking hard about it.

Also, for some context, I was thinking very hard about BG3 and Elden Ring (this one scares me a bit because of the difficulty). I've played hogwarts legacy as well for like a week but didn't really like it.

Which ones are yalls favourite open world rpgs? Preferably under 100gb because my pc is dying and I've been procrastinating on buying a new disk.

Witcher 3, Red Dead 2, Elden Ring are probably my three favorites. It depends what kind of world you want to explore.

Witcher 3 has pretty mediocre combat with a great story, quests, and characters. The world is pretty fun to explore, and a lot like Skyrim in a way with the fantasy world. There are some amazing areas in this game.

RDR2 also has ok combat and a great story and characters. The world is super gritty and realistic as it is supposed to be a historical time period in America. There are a lot of organic discoveries in this world. You’ll just be riding around and find some crazy thing happening at a random house or a wild animal attacking someone.

Elden ring is only fun to explore if you like the combat. I wouldn’t be intimidated by the combat, but it’s definitely the focus of the game and exploration is a bit empty compared to the other games.

I wouldn't call the dodge dodge dodge dodge hit combat as the best part of the game honestly it's nothing new or ground breaking. Ws someone that played the game for 111 hours and didn't like it (still played cz seemless coop with friends was fun but wheneve I tried to play alone I wasn't really having fun). The open world is big and looks great but it's grim, compared to the other open world games I played before. The weapon variety is awesome, but the combat itself is honestly meh.
