Bannerlord does not have to involve combat. One of the "easiest" ways to own the entire map is to get really good at smithing and trading. With those two skills maxed you can completely imbalance the entire economy selling your egregiously expensive weapons until you max out your trade skill and gain the ability to buy settlements. You can ned up owning the entire world without fighting anyone. It's not the most fun way but it's entirely doable and in many ways requires less skill fom the player.

Elder scrolls? Oblivion is the only one where you aren’t the “chosen one”. And you’re still an important pawn.

[@Heeroneko]

I'd maaaybe count the first two games as well. You aren't exactly a nobody in them, Arena has you as a member of the Emperor's court n Daggerfall you're one of his personal spies, but you're not the chosen hero of prophesy in em at least. Morrowind it's kinda up in the air since you can choose to treat the prophesy as hogwash and fake your way to victory. Skyrim there's no defense for tho.

[@mateus994]

Well, Morrowind still treats you like an absolute nobody in everything but the main quest, and you don't really have to touch it at all to enjoy the game. I've got 1400 hours in Morrowind and I swear I've only ever done the main quest once. The guilds don't have a story like in Skyrim where you end up becoming the leader in a day, they're usually just a bunch of fetch quests, and it takes you a very long time to become somebody in that guild, so you actually feel like you've earned it when you finally do.

[@Squintis]

My most favorite game on PC since a couple of years, if anyone is interested try either Genesis Mod or a Modlist that has one or mixed "Kenzo, Ashlands, Living World" after you had a couple of hours in Vanilla. Also Project Zomboid could make it on this list? It is basically the most realistic Zombi Survival Sim but Top-Down view.

[@djspacebar6652]

On the point of Kenshi, I think the thing to remember is that getting beaten up in that game actually makes your character tougher for future fights. There's a whole toughness stat dedicated to this. Even being captured by cannibals or slavers isn't necessarily the worst situation to be in. Failure in the traditional gaming sense isn't necessarily failure in Kenshi

@@xeno1912 not all, but many of them are click-baitey and represent a loose understanding of the material they are discussing. It pretty often feels like they have only a cursory understanding of the games they describe, which makes sense. They talk about tons of stuff every day. Reading an article and the wiki page is about all they have time for.

Kingdom Come. That was the game I waited for the whole video, and it is on 2nd place. Love y'all

[@kvsandro]

When I started watching this, I just thought that Kenshi would be No1 but it's not really popular so I was still surprised in the end :) Glad to see Gothic as well - it's a masterpiece, one of my favorite games, the one that got me hooked into RPGs.

[@xensonar9652]

The bad graphics initially made me overlook Kenshi, but I gave it a try and ended up sinking hundreds of hours into it. Since then, no other game has managed to scratch that itch.

[@monkeyleechkoalannja]

Same my dude! I thought it was bad watching it but actually playing it is immersive af, esp microing a solo start running away from beak things

[@killingfields6599]

Im more of a Gameplay over graphics guy so a good thing that you like it

[@GothicDragonX]

What I enjoy most is that no 2nd play through is the same as the game is very random and unpredictable. In itself it just a story on it own. There is lore but no actual story to guide you. Your own existance is just the vehicle to drive a story out of nothing. Edit: I can't wait for the day kenshi 2 (prequel) gets to be reveal to the world. As it stand kenshi is by far way more immersive than skrim even with mods.

[@raymacz1922]

Yup I have the same feeling, but I haven't bought it yet. I hope there will be a sequel with unreal engine 4 so I'll buy it 101%

This guy's narration is awesome!

[@SiCDisaster]

I was waiting for that mention of Gothic! Truly the game that got me into RPG's. You get beaten by the babies of every creature when you start, you definitely get the living crap beat out of you and robbed by everyone if you upset them, and sometimes even when you don't upset them simply by the fact everyone is in a shit situation and out for themselves.. And the amount of work you have to do to climb the social ladder is generally long and gruelling. Getting a new armor is linked to social standing which is amazing because you really feel great putting on a guard armor for instance.

[@drummerboy9128]

@@moonprincess_xoxo I was 150 hours in before I finished the main story. I feel that pain. I don’t remember where i heard this tip about the game but if you go back to skalitz after you have the horse that you actually own you can enter through the gate while on horseback and draw aggro on some bandits fighting there and gallop away until they lose aggro then ride back into skalitz and the bodies should have some really good expensive gear. Really helped me from being murdered by any cuman ambushes early to mid game.

[@TurlasThe6]

I think with FF12, Vahn is the "perspective" that the story is predominantly told from. He absolutely is not the main character, so much as he, and maybe even Penelo, actually represent you, the player, tagging along with in-world characters dealing with important stuff that you would otherwise not be involved in. That's always how I wrapped my head around that game.

[@whoknows8223]

Kenshi is super amazing. Building a base and defend it from raids.

[@The10leopard]

Kinshi is awesome. When you were going thru the list I never thought you were going to mention it. I have 2312 hours in this game. I drive trucks and if I have down time I am usually building my empire. With all the updates recently I have started over a few time though.

His point was that you can ignore all that and just be a regular person the whole game. If you never visit the Western Watchtower, you won’t be able to shout and not dragons will spawn so you won’t absorb their souls

That game is really nostalgic to me too. I never beat it as a kid and I got back to it recently and it was so satisfying and quite the unique feeling to play it again, only much older. I still feel like that same kid when I play it and not many other things are able to make me feel that way

About it being ugly looking , i want to contradict you on that , even today i find it decent looking and nice to play , i think for a 2001 game it looks nice, but maybe that's me just being very atached to the franchise . And yes im so excited about the remake its like a dream came true , i wanted this for a long time , and i hope they do a good job with it .
