I’ve been playing The First Berserker: Khazan. I’m maybe two-thirds through the game and generally have a good time. It’s basically Nioh with the faster paced combat, loot and mission based level format. For the first two regions, I mainly used the Spear, but recently have switched to the Greatsword. The monster bosses are fine, but some of the human bosses can be extremely infuriating, with how their stamina regenerates so quickly.

Katana314,

Imagine mail-order catalogs of hentai games on CD-ROM, or even cheap flash drives, in 2025.

Nikls94,

Well if it hurts those companies enough, they’ll ignore that organization (the same that led to pornhub deleting 80% in 2020 and removing sex ed from American schools) that’s the reason for this bullshit in the first place.

I think Disco Elysium might be the game you’re looking for!

tgirlschierke, do games w RPGs that are optionally pacifist?

I think your best bet would be looking into the CRPG subgenre, though I can’t name any specific examples of games with pacifist routes.

Live a Live's Twilight of Edo Japan chapter gives a special completion reward if you complete it with zero kills, or a full 100 kills. It's designed in such a way that figuring out how to do the pacifist run is a puzzle you are unlikely to solve on your first playthrough.

This mechanic was actually one of the inspirations for Undertale!

nore,

As far as I know this mechanic wasn’t in the original SNES game, only in the remake.

It is in the original. For the most part, 2022 is very faithful to the original and doesn't feature any big structural changes (apart from one new thing that's a big spoiler), mostly just balance and quality of life improvements.

Like I said, Toby Fox openly cited this segment as an inspiration for Undertale (2015), and that came before the 2022 remake.

what is “ultimate” about it? it never got any DLC did it?

DoucheBagMcSwag,

Comes with some extra single player shit including an exclusive mission or something

If you have a PC just play it on there if you can.

Disco Elysium can totally be pacifist

You can try both, see what you like.

I still like Minecraft Java more than Luanti.

My main grip with Luanti is world size. You can totally get to the world end in a few hours. I like the infinity of Minecraft.

REDACTED,

This somehow caught me off guard. How is a world where you have to walk many hours from point A to point B is too small for you? Can you even realistically explore it all?

daniskarma, (edited )

Of course. I’ve explored bigger extensions of terrain in Minecraft.

Other example, a server like 2b2t would be impossible in Luanti. Or any big multiplayer server.

insomniac_lemon,

Isn’t Luanti’s world height way bigger, though? ~62K vs MC’s ~400 are the numbers I see.

I mean I get that’s a different thing, but aside from exploration it determines build height. Also to me it’s a more visible limit, because falling made it obvious how short MC’s maps were.

daniskarma,

Yes. But world exploration tend to happen on horizontal.

Also additional height is often used as a way to store alternative dimensions (like nether or end). As there’s is not another built in way to do so.

Anyway it would me nice to have the horizontal extension. But at this point is not a planned feature and it would break a lot of things, so it’s not something that Luanti would likely ever have.

hperrin, do games w Which of theses games should i play?

Minecraft is substantially farther along in terms of gameplay, mechanics, details, etc. than Luanti. You will probably have more fun playing Minecraft.

That being said, Luanti is free and also pretty fun.

So my advice is if you only want to play one, play Minecraft. But if you want to, play both.

makeshiftreaper, do games w RPGs that are optionally pacifist?

Technically speaking Far Cry 5 meets this definition. At the beginning of the game the big bad guy arrests you and says to wait while he brings you the person you’re trying to save. If you sit there for 10 minutes doing nothing he returns with the person and lets both of you go. Most people just start murdering instead

I think you’re mixing multiple endings. Far Cry 4-6 all have quick endings like that but none of them I know of fit your description?

makeshiftreaper,

You’re correct, I had mixed up several of them in my memory. I think 6 is what I was thinking of where you can say “fuck your civil war, I’m out”

Disco Elysium? More or less entirely conversation-driven RPG about an alcoholic cop who drunk himself to submission so hard he forgot who he is, hence developing him back with skillpoints. Off the top of my head there’s like one combat situation which you can talk around if you’re so inclined.

Otherwise, it’s been said many times that “Planetscape: Torment” is similar … ish. Not the setting, but mechanics, apparently you can entirely go through the game without combat - but that’s not to say there’s not going to be bodies - or so I’ve been told, haven’t played the game to completion, only dabbled the beginnings.

So, these suggestions are with grain of salt, obvs. But afaik both are pretty high up on the rpg shelf.

duchess,

Grain of salt? Disco Elysium is the perfect example and Torment would have been a better game without combat. I‘d like to add Citizen Sleeper. I‘m a bit tired of RPG where combat often is the only or favoured option.

Trail,

Planescape Torment yes can be pacifist-ed, except for killing a zombie at the very beginning of the game.

Then again, killing/death is a bit strange in this game, so…

Malix, (edited )
@Malix@sopuli.xyz avatar

can you even kill something that’s already dead?

But tbh, only played some of the beginning (edit: and remember even less). Should actually play it through.

It’s been a while and I’ve never tried a 100% pacifist run, but I think that it’s theoretically possible in Planescape: Torment (Steam, GoG).

I know for a fact that the vast majority of encounters can be skipped with dialogue, and in fact, it’s heavily incentivized because the combat system is not very good.

andros_rex,

combat system is not very good.

Fuck the final fortress with the shades….

I’m pretty sure you have to kill a zombie in the first level to escape. And I don’t think you can avoid fighting (and killing) Ravel and the Deva. The Deva I think you can maybe spare after defeating, as long as you don’t bring a certain party member with you…

grrgyle,

Related, while I’m sure it’s not fully pacifist, Torment: Tides of Numenera greatly emphasises dialogue and text descriptions.

Nibodhika, do games w RPGs that are optionally pacifist?

There are lots of games where combat is not even an option, like Life is Strange, Before your eyes (do play this one with a camera and a box of tissues nearby), or Firewatch. But games where you’re expected to fight but can find ways around it the first example that comes to mind is Metal Gear Solid 3, you can beat that game without killing anyone, there’s even an achievement for that and one of the bosses will be particularly easy if you go this route.
