... please help me find another one like it. If it exists.

Over 1200 hours now and I really and truly love the game.

Things I really enjoy about it.

1. You start with nothing. Your weak and easy to kill. However slowly you start finding stuff to help you fight and survive better and longer.

2. Its an open world concept but you must move forward to truly progress. It's just that you can take forever doing it or go full ham.

3. The combat system. I agree it is easy to master but I have multiple ways of dealing damage and the abundance of different weapon types offer good variety as well.

4. Building. You can go huge and great or small and manageable. Speaking of which some of the things the community has built is absolutely amazing.

5. Not forced to upgrade armor and weapons if you choose not too. Doing so obviously helps but refusing to allows for more skillful and careful play.

6. The Viking theme. As someone who loves the Fantasy genre a viking fits right in.

So what I am asking is using the above as a guideline can anyone recommend a game to me that is similar in design.

Please note I do not like 1st person shooter types like Fallout. I have tried it multiple times and I simply don't enjoy it. In addition I have tried both Oblivion and Skyrim and for whatever reason I didn't enjoy them either. I think they are too open world for me. See note 2.
Another note is I play on an older pc so the game can't be too new or I can't play it.

Thank you.
