Have you ever tried the shadowrun games at all? They’ve had a decent track record overall, and several versions exist on steam and play at least okay on the deck (can’t remember exactly which, but protonDB exists for a reason lol).
Might be too similar to d&d for you, but I’ve never seen them be that similar in execution.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 was amazing and made me want to play the first two but that damn Nintendo tax has prevented me from finding it at a decent price on the secondhand market.
Since you mentioned FF series, don’t sleep on FF12. It is up there on my top games as it was the first one I played where I could automate my group.
I have played pretty much all final fantasies since FF5, with the exception of FF11 and FF16. FF12 is the only one worth playing after FFX, in my opinion.
The base game has the best quests and dialogue of any MMORPG I’ve yet played. The later expansions (Knights of the Fallen Empire and Knights of the Fallen Throne) are awful and cost money, so you can just play the base game for free and never even have to spend a penny to get eight unique class storylines to play for free. It’s honestly the last great game from Bioware.
Old school runescape free to play is a great introduction but you should go into it knowing that its not a free to play game and you’ll likely be paying a subscription fee.
Guild wars 1 is a old but its good and its like $10 one time payment. It can be done solo or with other players.
The goblins being peaceful might be due to your combat level. Once you outlevel an enemy by a certain amount, they stop auto-attacking you and you have to initiate combat with them if you want to.
I found Final Fantasy XIV easy to get into. The full game requires a monthly payment but there is a "free trial", which contains the entire base game and the first expansion for free and can last you at least a few hundred hours.
I tried old school runescape a while ago again but did not enjoy it. It's a very grindy game, and unless you like clicking on a tree for 30 minutes then you aren't going to like it either.
I played through it when they released this version, and honestly its an insane amount of free content. I completed the base game but never did complete the 100 quest wall that was in the first expansion. I had a lot of fun, and I agree this is the perfect MMO to pick up. I probably had about 3 months of time spent in it and was not disappointed.
It’s also worth noting that FFXIV is practically single-player if you want it to be. Any group content can be played with random match-ups using the party finder. It’s got a great story, too
Was about to suggest the same! I feel in love with it 4 years ago and subscribed after beating the base game. Turns out that I had a JP service account, so I had to do the whole base story again on a new NA account (since they don’t allow cross region payments).
Did you know that the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV has a free trial, and includes the entirety of A Realm Reborn AND the award-winning Heavensward expansion up to level 60 with no restrictions on playtime? Sign up, and enjoy Eorzea today!
I used to love Mabinogi. It’s a bit different then most MMORPGs but it had some real cool features. My favorite is any character could learn any skill in the game. It also has a coherent story with some surprising plot twists. On to of that, you character ages and will even get fat if they eat too much. Haven’t played it in years, as well as any MMORPG for that matter, but this is one of the ones I have the fondest memories of.
I liked steins;gate, chaos;head was meh at best, and worked like shit both on windows and in wine. Can’t remember anything about robotics;notes I think anime was alright?
I’ve never played S;G but I did love what I played of C;H due to the unrivalled level of paranoia that game instilled in me through its storytelling. I’ve heard it goes a bit off the rails, but I am not exactly rushing through it, and I’m avoiding spoilers like the plague.
How do you feel about Skyrim? I kinda want to recommend Morrowind via OpenMW, which should run fine on the Deck, but I guess both games would feel too much like DnD for you.
Undertale, if you haven’t played, might be fun.
You can also check out Trials of Mana, which is a remake of the SNES game and, unlike the remake of Secret of Mana, doesn’t seem to have any unpatched game breaking bugs. Other JRPGs that might be work checking out are the “Ys” and “Legend of Heroes” series, both should have plenty of games that play fine on the deck.
Lastly, Rune Factory, which is fantasy harvest moon (the farming sim that started it all, so to speak) with some light dungeon delving and leveling up.
As an alternative to Skyrim, try Enderal. A free total conversion of Skyrim (you need Skyrim obviously). It's a complete new game with new mechanics, story, skills, etc. It's fully voiced and waaaay better than Skyrim IMHO.
I have never tried Skyrim because it appears to be a first person game and first person games tend to give me serious motion sickness. I’m physically unable to play them.
Undertale
Played it, it’s great.
Ys
I tried the Lacrimosa of Dana but never got to complete. Don’t know why, I have this recollection that it’s actually a good game? Maybe I should revisit that!
Skyrim certainly plays better in first person, but you can change the camera to be 3rd person, slightly behind your character. The default kinda sucks and you’d be better off trying one of the camera mods. You’d also need a few mods to get a better experience overall, like SkyUI for better menus, and Unofficial Patch to fix fuckloads of bugs Bethesda never bothered to fix in 14 years
