Ok so after this months epic MyGame of Deus Ex HR ( for my 4th playthrough or so) I have been viciously bitten by the
rpg bug.
Im actually looking for an openworld rpg where you can have a homebase as well as a weight limit to carryable items. Like all the Bethesda games. I love how it's almost essential to have a house or outpost where you can collect items and rest etc.
but Im tired of Skyrim and Fallout :/

I have tried the First Risen but it wasn't so great and now Im playing Gothik 4 which is ok but not 100% what Im after.

Thanks!

Maybe try Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain
 
It's not going to be a popular opinion but I loved all 3 of them...

Dragon Age!

The lore in those games are outstanding. All 3 games play very differently but I enjoyed them so much. And there's a new one being developed!
 
ah I see you do get a house in Witcher 3 Blood and Wine.

There is something so cool about having a home or shelter in RPG's. Like in Fallout New Vegas, it's almost essential on hardcore mode to have a location where you have supplies, ammo and weapons stored for your various excursions. As well as a place to retreat to for rest and healing. Skyrim and Fallouts are true rpg experiences in that regard.
I love Witcher 3 and having to prep potions for missions etc. having a 'witcher place' where all the ingredients, armours etc could have been stored was lacking I felt but made sense gameplay wise to have chests at inns etc. because of there nomadic nature.

Glad to hear you have a witcher manor now :D

Good tip on MGS V, def going to get that soon! thanks!

I also have Dark Arisen on PS3 but I havent given it a fair chance to be honest.
 
Problem with getting the house in Witcher 3 is its part of the DLC content which is more a "end game" thing.

If you enjoy being more methodical in RPG's have you had a look at Divinity:original sin, it isometric turned based and extremely strategic , I loved it so much, cant wait for 2.
 
Witcher 3 was one of my best games ever. Played every side quest I could find and all the DLC. If you haven't played it, it's well worth it. Blood and Wine would have been a great game by itself.

I recently started playing this on PS4. I was skeptical about the control scheme at first, but it feels utterly natural using the DS4 controller. The game itself is also great, with a lighter atmosphere than most RPGs and surprisingly fun combat. The voice acting is really entertaining and I don't find myself skipping dialogue as often as I do in other RPGs.
 
Pillars of Eternity might work, the home base is pretty big and there are a lot of side quests to keep you busy. The "carry limit" is pretty much non-existent here but you do need to upgrade the home base and defend it for extra bonuses and so on...
