i personally love the elder scrolls saga: obviously morrowind because of its beautiful yet dated mechanics and skyrim due to its inmersiveness (even though its not AS good as people say)

ive tried out dragons dogma and i HATED IT, and i mean HATED IT, to the point where i can confidently call it of the worst games ive ever played. i also played elden ring and straight up disliked it, just overall a lame game lol

what stuff do you guys like? dungeons and dragons sort of things? baldurs gate?

Not sure what you mean by tone, is it just the presentation?

Do The King of Dragons, Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom and Shadow over Mystara count?

DIfferent setting, different genre, but:

I have yet to see a monster hunter fan who doesn't connect with xenoblade chronicles x in a similar way to MH.
Maybe it's the monster designs, maybe it's how separate and dangerous 'the outdoors' feels, I dunno.

But they go together quite nicely.

I'll second this suggestion, I'm a huge fan of XCX. The fauna is very cool and the designs flow very well together, building that "ecosystem" feel. It's always a joy to discover a new species, willingly or not. Plus the endgame has a significant amount of grinding involved if you want to get optimal so a MH fan will be right at home lol.
