Have you tried Dragon's Dogma? It's an open world action RPG that has excellent combat mechanics and a comprehensive Character creator that lets you create anything from a truecel turbo manlet to a loli for your main character as well as an additional "pawn" that is basically your companion, the game also has somewhat of a romance system that ties into the story later in the game and it lets you marry even child NPCs jfl.

sounds WOWesque and promising, do you need mods to marry hte lolis?
also wondering if you play the original console version or the enhanced "dark arisen" port for PC

is charging 40 bucks for it so sounds like an investment, and maybe I ought to get a controller to play it with instead of keyboard BS
in meantime will put it on watch list in case sale happens
20GB is huge but smaller than WOW took up (even as just the demo) despite Blizz promisnig it would only be 32GB when I uninstalled it it cleared somewhere in the realm of 70GB so I think it was starting to download something approaching the 100GB full install, not sure why
1 companion sounds cool but I really want big companions like how in FF12 you can have 3 people out at once (nearly good as the 5-man parties in older FF games)
diablo 2's necromancer pre-nerf was prob the closest to emulating the WC/SC mass army feel, there was a necro-like game I also played but it had post-nerf caps on zombies that disappointed me
"Sword of the Necromancer" similarly let me down, fun game but at most 3 minions at a time and in place of gear
there is also a "Necromancer" game but it isn't very complex and runs on autopilto
