Its been a while since I played botw and totk, I want to get into similar open world games with good combat systems, any recommendations?

As for platforms, I need games that aren't too intensive, my PCs are kinda weak and my consoles are a switch and an emulator that does up to GameCube/ps2

This question proves how stupid I am lol

Assassin's Creed 1 and 2. I've also heard good things about Morrowind but haven't played it.

Morrowind is a great game, Worth a try if you're willing to watch some videos on how to play. Its a bit unforgiving to newcomers who don't know how to build a proper class yet. Its got an android port too.

+1 for Morrowind. Be sure to play via OpenMW. It fixes a LOT of stuff and gives many quality of life improvements

If I'm an experienced D&D player, will I need to worry about knowing how to build a class? I didn't have any problems understanding KOTOR's character creation, and I actually prefer Mass Effect 1's combat and levelling over 2. I love crpgs.

Assassins Creed 1&2 are not really open world games comparable with BoTW or ToTK. The world is much smaller and everything is far more linear. The combat system is also not extremely great. You can mainly just wait for counters constantly.

That said, I still enjoyed the games (especially 2) a lot. But it is more the fun climbing action and fairly good storytelling.

Skyrim might be possible, but I have not played it personally. The witcher is available on the Switch as well.
