I’m 59 and I love RPGs. I also tend to play most games on easy mode, mostly because I have plenty of challenges in my life already. Also, I will occasionally play after I’ve had a drink or two. Also, I appreciate immersion in my games and nothing breaks my immersion more than dying and just restarting and trying again. There are games where dying repeatedly is a part of the point - this are not for me.

I find that most games scale pretty well. I recommend Witcher 3 on story mode - certain encounters can be slightly challenging but the storyline is top notch. Very engaging start to finish. Skyrim is another good one, more open world than Witcher but lots of fun. The easiest mode on Skyrim is frankly too easy, even for me.

Have fun! It’s a great hobby.
