Comment on RPGs for people who don't like RPGs

This is a difficult one to answer as most RPGs I can think of have some combination of the stuff that puts you off. Have you tried the Witcher 3 (great story, and the RPG elements are fairly simplified) or Deus Ex: Human Revolution? And if you’ve played Nier Replicant and enjoyed it, I think you’d love Nier Automata.

Yeah, Nier Automata is certainly on the list, just waiting for a good vacation to really get into it.
And yeah, I’ve been putting off playing The Witcher 3 for a while since I wasn’t sure about the long playtime. I’ve played a lot of Witcher 1 and read some of the books, so I’m interested in the world, just not sure if I’m 100 hours interested. I’ll have to give it a shot though.

I also vote this. The side quest writing in the Witcher 3 is very high quality for the genre, and it’s easy enough to completely ignore the superfluous content like bandit camps and stuff littered around.
It’s a long game but it’s so good I never got that feeling of “uhhhgg this was fun but I’m ready to be done”. The thing about very good writing is that more is always better. Even excellent gameplay gets old after a while.

W3 is not very similar to W1 though. You may want to try W2 instead if you liked 1.
