and why?

    Some mmo where they keep adding stuff. Because my fucking god would it get boring after doing the same game 24/7 after a few years. If that is not allowed I’ll go with one of those 18+ rated sex games. At least I won’t be bored and horny.

    I posted in the other thread - Elite Dangerous, but the version with all the options the players have asked for for a decade. Sandbox play where I can fly wherever, do some exploring and trading, maybe a bit of combat (because players don’t die as long as they have an account balance).

    Unbelievably, no one ITT has opted for one of The Elder Scrolls games. So, let me break that seal.

    I’ll go with Oblivion, for several reasons. For one, Cyrodiil is my favorite locale. You’ve got elements of most of the other regions incorporated into it and it’s one of (if not the?) biggest in Tamriel.

    Second, the world-ending calamity is largely resolved by doing a relatively simple mission, repeatedly, and then letting this other dude (Martin) make the ultimate sacrifice.

    Third, custom spell-crafting. I had so much fun with that shit while playing the game, I could easily dive back into it, and it’s essential to be able to custom-craft spells if you live in a world with magic.

    Fourth, damn good side quests. ‘Nuff said.

    Fifth, as other people have mentioned, mods. This makes my eternal paradise infinitely expandable.

    Downsides are that there are mostly only eight different voices in the game, so that would get real fuckin’ boring. Also, the graphics are dated and due to the character creation system, I’d assuredly be some form of fugly. Also, due to the backwards-ass leveling system, without mods I’d have to spend a lot of time doing pointless shit to ensure I acquire god-tier stats. Finally, scaled leveling means that even with my system-abusing spells, I’d wind up fighting monsters that have obnoxious amounts of HP (although, realistically, this isn’t too much of an issue when your spells’ damage increases exponentially with each short-term casting).

      TES was literally my first thought, and I just entered the thread and yours is the first comment I’ve seen.

      So, you’re not alone :)

      However, Oblivion features a pretty small map - if Cyrodiil would be expanded proportionately to Skyrim or Morrowind and some content added, that would be great.

        I guess I was thinking of the geographical map of Tamriel and not accounting for the technical limitations of the game compared to Skyrim. Good point.

        Not only that, but the sky islands are gorgeous, and you have access to tons of cool machine parts.

        I would be perfectly content living through eternity in the comfort of Hateno Village

      Please do not misunderstand my question, I’m not judging whatsoever but I’m genuinely curious what the appeal is of this game. I bought it when I came out, I recently redownloaded it, I played for probably 20 hours total and I just don’t get it. Is it the absurdity? I want to love it I just don’t understand it. I’ve been meaning to ask in the Discords but I’m a bit of a coward.

        I mostly play JRPGs so I was in the same boat as you a while ago, I got to like the game after my girlfriend fell in love with it, making versions of the people you know and then overseeing their actions and the whackiness that ensues is pretty fun.

    Minecraft, I guess. You’re gonna run out of things to do in any game, so if you’re gonna be stuck in one, might as well be one that’s got a ton of mods.

    I am way outside if the age demographic but it’s so cute. If not that, probably Cyperpunk.

    Assuming that to me the game world becomes real and isn’t limited to the same path that the video game forces the player to go through, I would probably pick one of the Dungeons & Dragons games like Planescape or at worst something like Curse of the Azure bonds.
