Games I have played that do match up to my views that are fun (if old) are the Icewind Dale and Baldur's Gate series, Ultima I-IV, Final Fantasy I, the whole Might & Magic series, the whole Bard's Tale series (a weaker franchise, in my opinion), and a few others. As I said, all on the older side (as I believe Morrowind is, if I'm not mistaken), and thus GOG or Steam renditions to play on newer computers are, of course, needed. I did quite enjoy Bards Tale back in the day. The humor was fantastic as I recall it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that your character, regardless of gender or profession, is always named, "Commander Shepherd," bugs me to all Hell, but prevents any immersion or enjoyment. 😛 You're missing out! Lol Mass Effect is worth hearing Commander Shepherd! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey I just finished Final Fantasy I like, literally yesterday. It's a plenty fun game with good basic RPG gameplay and that classic overly complicated FF-type storyline. Good start to a great series! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And given it's voice-overs, and not a pure text dialog game, that's what matters, isn't it? I now wonder if there is any mod out there that just completely changes the last name. Sad thing is itd require voice overs for over thousands of hours of story dialogue, and a thousand more for potential dialogue lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Mass Effect is worth hearing Commander Shepherd! It had to be a certain last name simply because of the voice acting -- can't make up a random name because so many characters need to say it, which requires that the actors recorded it. That said, while i consider Mass Effect 2 to be one of the greatest games I've ever played (LOVED the suicide mission so much), Mass Effect 3 was a steaming pile of dogshit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty much my go-to vacation/road trip game for a good while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vcczar Posted March 22, 2022 Author Share Posted March 22, 2022 @themiddlepolitical and anyone else interested. I've made all the presidents as wrestlers. Still need to add photos and do other things for the league. Did a test run for a month of game's time. Here's what happened: Joe Biden left the league but rejoined immediately to become the owner. Bill Clinton was caught using soft drugs. James A Garfield started a fight with Millard Fillmore backstage. Now, I just set the CPU to simulate through a few years. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can set up a base anywhere on the enormous map, modeled after the state of Kentucky. I tried out a prison break scenario — but after getting out of my own cell, I decided to set up my camp in a cushier cell because outside is super dangerous. I’ve got my room set up really nice, feels defensible, I’ve been raiding the rest of the prison for food and medicine, I even moved a TV into my cell. I feel confident I can last in here for at least a month, maybe longer. The real challenge will be that the power will eventually go out, and if I try to use a generator indoors I can die from the fumes. But there is a roof area I can access, so I might move my mini fridge out there...assuming I can find a generator at all. My precious survival record is only 8 days (had a great defensible cabin but wanted to stockpile more food until my tomato seeds sprouted. Unfortunately, got killed on the supply run. My longest survival so far. I set up on the top floor of an apartment building alongside a canal. Lots of food in the various apartments, lots of books to help educate me on various skills, and even though I started the game after the water had already been shut off, there was still plenty of water available sitting in the pipes. Plus I used the canal for bathing and laundry. There was a girl (NPC) living on the first floor who boarded up all the first floor windows, so our building was nice and secure. After clearing our building, I eventually went across the street to where a huge factory was. Lots of tools and supplies, but also lots of zombies. I'd head in, kill a dozen zombies, call it a day and go home. Come back the next day, kill another dozen, rinse, repeat. Unfortunately though, I got a little cocky and went out an exit I hadn't previously cleared. Zombies came from every angle. I should have come back the way I came, but one mistake is all it takes in this game. RIP whatever your name was. You had a good run. (My best run so far). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
