So, I'm about 600 hours into Cyberpunk, and even though I don't see myself fully stopping anytime soon, I'm searching for what my next experience should be.

I actually narrowed down my options to the ones I placed above in the thread picture: Witcher III or Mass Effect Trilogy.

I'm leaning towards Witcher III, since CDPR seems to "understand" my personal likings in modern gaming, but now I heard that there might be an update in 2026 and thought that maybe I could wait a bit. For Mass Effect, for which I just bought the latest trilogy version in the winter sale, I'm hearing great things story wise.

Thing is: I just love good story and great characters, but after all that is over what I want to do is focus on builds and freely roam around a map and explore a lot (if there are continuous, perennial quests such as car stealing for The Captain in Cyberpunk, that is a GREAT bonus). Which one of the afore mentioned games has that? And why do you think it could be a good follow-up after the Whole V experience, instead of the other?

So, can you help me? For now, I would like to focus on these 2 options. I also have No Man's Sky, both for PC and Switch 2, that I might try, and considered Red Dead, but for now I would like a profound take on the two options above if you had the chance to play all three, please and thank you in advance.
