Dwarf Fortress would probably provide the most diverse experiences. Not necessarily good ones, mind you.

Depends. Do I get cheat codes? If so, GTA:V. Get an awesome pad, planes, cars, helicopters. Can go on a rampage if I want or play games (golf, bowling, etc) and then just wipe it all away by dropping my wanted status to zero.
Solitaire. Not interested in multiplayer. ;)
Cyberpunk. Lots to do, and ostensibly all the other video games in VR.
Idk I feel like if I want to visit a hustle or die dystopia I just go outside

You want to live in a universe where the corporations always win and the best you can hope for is going out in an awesome, but ultimately futile blaze of glory?
X-Com, baby 😎 It would be just like Edge of Tomorrow
Dwarf Fortress. It's the most earth-like simulation out there. While also being a great fantasy type game.

Source engine. I know it isn't a game but they can share maps resources and etc. So you have pretty much a world to explore and possibly scans of the real world.
The original pong..... Wait no.....
Too late, your continued existance is the left paddle.
Ha, ha, fucking loser left paddle! Right paddle is where it's at.

Can I choose the 249 mods?
Gary's Mod? At least things would be kept interesting lol
Only right answer ^
Or perhaps minecraft*
Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom. It has its downsides, such as Ganon and monsters existing, but then there are beautifully desolate environments like Akkala and Tabantha Frontier. Magic exists, and if the going gets tough we always have Link to rely on! I'd like to be a Rito so I could fly around...

Oblivion for reals yo
Katamari Damacy
As a person!?
Factorio or Subnautica
Red dead redemption 2
Factorio
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 seems like a nice pick.
Guild Wars 2
Magic, dragons, numerous animal mounts plus a few flying ones, air ships (think blimps), multiple climates.
Continuous resurrecting.
Lots of gold.
Several types of sentient creatures.
Edit: I would assume that since it would last forever, that means the gaming servers would run forever. I would also assume that would mean we would more and more expansion packs more maps, more creatures more things to do, improved graphics. It would take you a really, really long time to walk from one side of the map to the other. Can you imagine how much stuff there would be to do inside that game.? And since NPC’s can talk to player characters (and player characters can talk to other players) that means I could talk to people outside the game. This would be kind of cool.
Fallout: New Vegas, baby.
If I don't have to worry about dying irl, living in the Mojave would be a dream. Infinite reloads and I can quicksave before I do anything.
Plus, the amount of mods that exist for that game would let me redefine reality whenever it gets boring. And, if we include TTW, I have the Capital Wasteland to explore as well. Catch me kicking it back in the Lucky 38, occasionally running out to eliminate some Fiends for fun.
Honestly though, if we're talking about vanilla NV.... Nahhh I'd still go for it. Time to finally get all those star bottle caps!
.... Wat
It's literally a post apocalyptic death zone.
So you really want to live in a desert with no ac and clean water forever?
You can't die, so it's just a post-apocalyptic zone, and really not even that with the different states moving in. There's AC and plenty of clean water, too.
You can definitely die in New Vegas. Like, a lot. Just try taking the shortcut instead of the long way around your next playthrough.
It'll play out like my last 5 playthroughs: a couple smacks from a deathclaw and I'm at Benny's doorstep in 10 minutes.
Don't even have to level Stealth, just have to stick close to Neil's Shack.
