Man, that's a tough find, tbh. Luckily they announced a sequel recently, so there's that. :)
In the meantime, I'd recommend the following:
Newer Monster Hunters (World or Rise): Gameplay wise the closest one I've come across so far.
Elden Ring: I mean... Kind of? Similar Fantasy world, character building, even somewhat similar plot (in my opinion). Obviously it's more FromSoft than DD, but I think it's worth a comparison.
Dragon Age Inquisition: Now, I get that this one's kind of far fetched, but I mean it. Especially the freedom of character building (except locking into a class at character creation), traveling with npc companions (tough with more personality) and the general fantasy-world vibe
Shadow of the colossus: If you're mainly into climbing huge monsters and defeating them (primarily) that way, this is one game I would greatly recommend! Tough, this gameplay, a stamina system and the vague fantasy setting are the main comparisons.
Bonus: I read somewhere that with a plethora of mods you can nudge Skyrim more in a DD direction (and who would be surprised about that), but I don't know any pointers on that one. Google might help, tough.
Hope this list is somewhat helpful :D Maybe you could describe what you liked about DD?
I have actually played all of these, except for modded Skyrim. I might have to look into making it like DD. But I really enjoy it's gameplay on top of it being pretty light on story until you decide to go in, I enjoy just being plopped into a fantasy world and being able to just go and do stuff without worrying about the story unless I want to.
Thanks for the suggestions though!
Well, in that case... Maybe you'd like:
Outward (literally getting thrown into a survival-exploration-RPGs), didn't play much, but liked what I saw. Seems to be very deep in it's systems.
Elex (plus Sequel, I didn't play): Techno-Fantasy-mix by the guys who made Gothic 1-3 (also good contenders, but a bit old), so expect some good eurojank. This one's a bit more story heavy, though.
If I can think of more, I'm try to post here again 👍
+1 for Outward. That game rules.
