Role-playing games like "The Elder Scrolls," "Fallout," "The Outer Worlds" and "Kingdom Come: Deliverance" have a chokehold on me. I can lose hundreds of hours building a character from scratch, leveling up skills and unlocking new abilities through quests, combat and exploration.
The appeal is this: every action matters. Fight smarter, complete objectives, improve your stats — and watch your character evolve.
