RPGMaker sounds like something you would like (not open-source, though). You can do most things without coding, to just enjoy creating and telling stories. And when you want to do more, you can add code on top, learning at your pace and adding more and more useful stuff, if you find out you like that and stick with it.
With Godot, you would need to learn more about coding, but the advantage is when you know Godot, you're ready to make "real things". You could get a job just by knowing Godot, either to use it directly or to move to Unity, which is very close.
I would like to start with something free to dip my toes in so i know if this is worth it for me without having to spend money, so do you know any more by chance?
I know of nothing more than what people mentioned in this thread, sorry. :) Except maybe… Have you considered writing? If what you're after is telling stories rather than coding, it's the easiest and yet most powerful way to explore your imagination, what you can do in a videogame is ridiculously limited compared to what you can do in a written story. And it's free. :)
