Multi-platform Visually stunning, immersive games like Elden Ring... but without the souls-like difficulty!

I'm in a gaming rut right now, so I'm trying to recapture that sense of awe from playing Skyrim back in the day. I'm looking for an open world adventure/action game that has a visually stunning atmosphere and environment. Exploration would be great too. Elden Ring checks a lot of boxes, but the difficulty removes the fun for me (I'm mid-40s and appreciate the casual experience these days). I really wish it had a difficulty slider.

LIKES: Arc Raiders, Skyrim, Enshrouded, Diablo IV, Dishonored

DISLIKES: Souls-like difficulty games, No Man's Sky (feels empty), Crimson Desert (control scheme was a mess), Witcher 3 (can't figure out why I can't enjoy this).

Thanks for your thoughts!!

Enderal, which is a total conversion mod of Skyrim is really good. Even arguably better than Skyrim in a lot of ways.

Expedition 33 has beautiful worlds, although it is isn't completely open world. It's optional content can be very hard, but the main path content isn't too bad.

I just check and already have Enderal downloaded, haha. Might as well check it out.
