I want to play a game like Skyrim that isn't Skyrim. Recommendations?

Now that the Humble Choice is out, I can finally make my Steam sale purchases, and I'm interested in playing a game that is like Skyrim but isn't Skyrim. Think: open-world, exploration, open-ended, RPG, etc. It doesn't have to necessarily tick all of those boxes though. The ones I'm most interested in are the open-world and exploration parts.

Anyway, I'm open to any and all recommendations that could be described as "Skyrim-like".

Also, I've played the older Elder Scrolls games, as well as the 3D Fallouts, so no need to recommend those. While I liked the Fallouts, I'm hankering for something that's more fantasy-inspired than post-apocalyptic right now.
