Turtlicious posted:Any good Roguelikes for the PC Well, a general list, starting with what's free would include: Nethack - classic dungeon crawl Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup - My personal favorite, another dungeon crawl Moria - basic dungeon crawl Angband - another dungeon crawl Caves of Qud - post apocalyptic exploration Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead - post apocalyptic zombie survival/crafting Doom: The Roguelike - extremely fast paced roguelike based on Doom Unreal World - roguelike survival sim And the ones that you can get on steam include: Sproggiwood - by the guy that did Caved of Qud, another dungeon crawl with some town building elements Dungeons of Dredmor - another dungeon crawl that's actually really funny TOME 4: Another dungeon crawl with, iirc, some persistent world elements As Bouchacha said though, what you're describing is incredibly vague, and we don't really get a good sense of what you want to play or have already played.

What are some good PC games with a fantasy setting which tend to focus away or heavily diminish the use of magic? The Myth series has an appropriate amount of magic in the game, with most usage heavily confined to a select few, and most of it is portrayed by the narrator as some freaky poo poo no one can understand. Dark Souls is also great at this since you encounter few magic enemies and you can safely ignore it for your character build. Thief series is similarly well presented, with the vast majority of encounters against normal humans. Where poo poo gets dumb for me is when anyone that can read a book can also cast a fireball and they're as prevalent as cell phones are today.

Where poo poo gets dumb for me is when anyone that can read a book can also cast a fireball and they're as prevalent as cell phones are today. It's old and clunky but Arx Fatalis. Magic is presented in an overall negative light. You have to collect runes and draw symbols in the air to cast it. Casters are rare but incredibly powerful. High level spells are very evil, doing things like boiling someone's blood or summoning a demon that goes on a rampage. And the demon isn't your traditional horned humanoid, it's this Lovecraftian lump of flesh and blades.. Dark Messiah of Might & Magic has the main character, a wizard's apprentice, and basically no one else. You have another wizard apprentice ally who doesn't really do much in the game and very rare cultists who only manage to throw fireballs. You can learn an assortment of basic spells but you can also go strictly melee. The Witcher series also takes a swords and sorcery approach to magic. Casters are very rare and either regarded with suspicion or outright hostility. There's also some neat lore behind them, like all the sorceresses banded together to oust the crusty old sorcerers and there's a lot of political infighting that happens between them. Geralt has some rudimentary magic but your signs are complimentary to sword fighting. Casters are rare and almost always major characters (usually villains).

Ohhh man, Severance. Such a good loving game. If someone were to start a Kickstarter for a Severance remake, with good ragdoll physics and poo poo, I would throw every single penny of my money at it. What I'm saying is, I second that recommendation.

Where poo poo gets dumb for me is when anyone that can read a book can also cast a fireball and they're as prevalent as cell phones are today. If you like obtuse really old RPGs (like late 80s-early 90s) there are actually quite a few that fit the bill. Darklands is set in medieval Germany. Magic is very, very rare, entirely Satanic and feared by the populace at large. A lot of the game involves rooting out and destroying "magical" thinks--witches, Satanic cults, demons, dragons and the like. "Spells" from a gameplay perspective are Catholic saints--you pray to the Patron Saint of Whatever to get the miracle you're looking for. Knights of Legend is kind of similar. It focuses almost entirely on insanely detailed hack & slash combat, and a lot of NPCs shun magic-using characters. Magic, while present, is potentially enormously powerful but also extremely draining--it saps massive amounts of fatigue, meaning even if unarmored casters can cast only one or two powerful spells before passing out. Dragon Wars is a Wizardry-like dungeon crawler where one of the major premises of the game is that magic is outlawed entirely, and your party is imprisoned at the beginning under suspicion of sorcery. While absolutely vital to finishing the game, it's super-rare and a lot of the game consists of exploring and searching out those remaining few sources of magic.

Turtlicious posted:Any good Roguelikes for the PC You can build a literal army of just about any NPC and have them do a ton of stuff for you while you are away from them. Make a literal city out of all you can put together they will sell your crap and give you lots of rare stuff to hold until you return. It is a sandbox that allows you to do just about any job you see other NPCs do in other games and it keeps adding more every other month or so.

I tried Witcher 1 and got so bored by the running speed and constant (sloooooow) back and forth required for the game. I quit after 10 hours. Are the sequels any different? The lore and mechanics definitely attracted me to the first. Genpei Turtle posted:Knights of Legend is kind of similar.

Turtlicious posted:Good Roguelikes for the 3DS is what I'm asking. I recall hearing that the 3DS is backwards compatible with the DS. If that's the case, you could always grab the Pokemon and Shiren Mystery Dungeon Games. On the 3DS, there's another Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game. I believe Etrian Mystery Dungeon just released, which may end up being your best choice.

Dungeon Fighter is a 2.5d beat-em-up / MMORPG that I like way more than all the other diablo-likes. However, loot is mostly separated from your visible character, as the aesthetics are all based on specific item types that are bought with real or ingame currencies.

I'm looking for a 4X (preferably fantasy-themed, but I'm open to anything) game with snappy, adjustable animation speeds and a very clear, simple visual style. I tried Age of Wonders III and Endless Legend and both are sluggish and too visually busy -- they could be amazing games from a mechanical standpoint and it would still feel like a chore to play them. On the other hand it'd be nice if it were something made in the past five years or so, I've already played most well-known 4X games from the nineties and early 2000s, plus a lot of older games in that genre don't play nicely with modern resolutions. If it's something older but relatively obscure that's worth a shot, but I am absolutely not interested in anything real-time with pause, or anything with the words "Total War" in the title. e: As an example, if Battle For Wesnoth had in-depth city building and were anywhere from a little bit to much less focused on combat, it would be perfect.

After about 30 hours of modding skyrim to try and make it fun again... I just can`t. I feel like playing a modern-day RPG and I`m super sick of fantasy. I know about VTM: Bloodlines and The Secret World mmo - I like both. Do any other games like that exist? Basically modern day with a touch of either sci-fi or fantasy, kind of open world. I don't think it's a popular genre. I tried DARK and that was just amazingly mediocre. Edit: I`ve never actually played through all of FNV`s DLCs even though I own the ulti edition, not a bad idea. So it`s not just me then, games like this are scarce as hell? EPIC fat guy vids fucked around with this message at 04:51 on Apr 28, 2015 |

I'm going to assume you've played Fallout: New Vegas? That's what I immediately went to when I did what you did, and it was a great decision. It was even my 3rd or 4th playthrough and it was still loving great.

I was looking for a game that I could leave running in the background without going back to it and finding my empire/city/spaceship a wreck. So far I've played the Anno series and CKII at low speeds and autopause (and cookie clicker  ).I'm looking at Cities: Skylines to scratch that itch. Anything I'm missing?

I'm looking for a multiplayer Ultima Underworld, preferably released no earlier than 2010. Barony seems like the answer, but it looks like butt. Underworld Ascendant has coop if it hits $1,150,000 (currently around $880,000). In more general terms:

Are there any real-time 4X games like Sins of a Solar Empire or Distant Worlds that aren't space based? I know the Paradox games kind of fit that description but they tend to be a lot more static than a true 4X since the world has a fixed layout.
