  • That’s how I feel about games like Borderlands. They’re incredibly fun games with simple yet fun gameplay with decent stories and cool maps.

    I can’t get into the whole min/maxing, “proper” builds, or gear loadouts. I just wanna run through a wasteland blasting dudes in the face with cool guns and abilities.



  • Careful, if you play Morrowind and the other Elder Scrolls games, a lot of other RPGs won’t feel nearly as satisfying to play.

    There aren’t many games where you can see a thing and just walk to it, or go into a random house and see (and interact with) all the shit they have from forks and plates to baskets and books. Speaking of books, how many other games are there that have actual books you can read in-game, that explain lore and have poems and plays like we have IRL?

    And that’s not even getting into builds and play styles. You can be a tanky heavy weapons expert who just steamrolls everything in a couple hits, or you can be a glass cannon archmage blasting dudes left and right; you can also be an entire mix of all the things if you want. Be a magic tanky stealth archer that takes what they want when they want. Also you can kill essential NPCs in Morrowind (in the later games they just get knocked out).

    I love the Elder Scrolls games, jank and all. They’re absolutely fantastic at putting you in an atmospheric world that feels lived in.







  • I like a lot of singleplayer games, but I also play games that can be played multiplayer (open world survival crafting games).

    Borderlands is pretty good imo. You can play alone, but you never really feel alone with all the characters constantly asking you to do stuff for them.

    Someone else said Kenshi, which is strictly singleplayer but you can build up your party and have multiple squads running around, taking care of things. And there are generated conversations between them. And there’s tons of mods that can change or add things to the game; personally I’ve added a couple new subraces to the vanilla ones, a couple new whole races of characters to play with, new building and weapon types and such.

    Edit: Untitled Goose Game and Thank Goodness You’re Here, or even any cozy game really.

    The new Star Wars: Jedi games like Fallen Order and Survivor are great singleplayer games without making you feel alone. Mostly cause of BD-1.
