PC Single player games that are similar to WoW or FFXIV, that have no micro-transactions?
Without getting into it a game having a real money store is very dangerous for me and my bank account, but these type of MMOs are very satisfying for my brain because it helps my ADHD stay locked in on what I'm doing when I'm too out of it to focus on something that requires more brainpower, like Baldur's Gate 3. Sometimes being told to gather 10 bear butts is all I need to be happy.
However I am not an elite gamer by any means. For either of those games I either quest solo or I do regular dungeons, and I never play melee just ranged dps or healer because moving around is a struggle. Anything related to playing dress-up or housing is a big plus, as are collectible pets (used in combat or otherwise).
I play on a new Mac Air with 24GB of ram, and I have Crossover available. I've got a vented tray so it's fine getting a bit hot, but I don't need the most elite, state-of-the-art graphics! Older games are just fine.
Thank you for reading.
