Been playing DK Bananza too! I’m taking my time, currently done with the forest layer although not 100 percent. Going back to the snow one today.

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.

I just completed it today, and i’m planning to go back and complete left behind tomorrow. I’m also thinking about trying to 100% it since it’s not too much of a challenge and it’s got some unique criteria i’d love to try and do. I’m not ready to let this game go lol

chunes, do games w RPGs that are optionally pacifist?

Sil (specifically Sil-Q, the most modern fork) is a great Tolkien-esque roguelike in the vein of Angband where pacifism is a first-class citizen. You get a lot of XP just by observing hostiles from the shadows. I highly recommend it!

chunes,

Also forgot to mention the latest version has tiles support that looks like this: https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/35787fac-8c61-4d27-97c0-f397f61b585e.png

So you don’t have to play with ASCII graphics. ;)

someguy3, do games w RPGs that are optionally pacifist?

You end up doing things that would (IMHO) be more fucked up ethically

Example?

andros_rex,

With Mr. House, it feels like a quick golf club to the head is much more merciful than keeping him trapped in his mind for possibly hundreds of years.

With the Khans, IIRC I ended up needing to help them expand their chem empire. Selectively excising a few very evil people seems like it would have been a better choice. Which is really the larger moral question of a NV pacifist run - it’s a game about war, people are going to die, and playing as a pacifist seems more about not wanting to get your hands dirty rather than about practical morality.

logicbomb,

Is pacifism ever about practicality, though? The issues you describe sound like the normal issues that always accompany pacifism.

False,

Yeah, these are people who’s solution to the trolley problem is to refuse to touch it.

andros_rex,

Yeah - I think those questions are actually part of why New Vegas is such a well written game. It does give you the option to get out of most situations without violence - but it doesn’t automatically equate pacifism with “good.” It doesn’t really equate anything with “good.”

Kolanaki, do gaming w Looking for a "classic" RPG with solid plot (Steam Deck)
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

Idk if you can get these to work on the deck; they are not all sold on Steam and I don’t know how well they play with Linux, but here’s some to at least look into:

Planescape: Torment

Icewind Dale 1 & 2

Baldur’s Gate 1 & 2 (and 3 for that matter, which does for sure work on the deck)

Fallout 1 & 2

Neverwinter Nights (particularly its two big expansions)

feels too much like D&D

Well… Fuck. If you didn’t even like Disco Elysium there is no hope… 😩 All of these are literally D&D games except Fallout, which was based on GURPS.

Free: Battle for Wesnoth is really great, I haven’t played it in a long time but it was already great like 10-15 years ago so it’s probably even better today, Nethack (if you don’t mind the starting difficulty and the “graphics”) is also great, VERY complex gameplay but very rewarding if you know it fairly well. Also saw a video of Xonotic today, looks also really good if you’re into fast multiplayer arena shooters (Quake-like). Heard positive things about 0 AD as well (Age of Empires-like). All of these are open source and in the extra repository on Arch.

Non-free but really cheap: Stardew Valley is probably great, I’ve never played it and it doesn’t look like my cup of tea but I’ve only heard positive things plus it’s like #1 or #2 rated on Steam, so it must be really good.

Non-free: Stellaris (got into it recently, great game and well-maintained Linux client (not at all common), much better than I expected, VERY complex and content-rich, quite expensive when you want all DLCs. It’s like a live service game, you’ll pay quite a bit if you want everything, but you also get tons of content). Also, Alien Isolation is one of my favorite single player horror games of all time and it also has a Linux client (which was a surprise for me) but that one is probably outdated and not maintained anymore by now I’d guess (but didn’t look it up) so it might be better to play the Windows client via Proton. I’m not up to date on that though - look it up. Oh, and POOLS also has a Linux client, that’s a great small walking simulator, “Backrooms”-like, very atmospheric and great visual design.

‘Disco elysium’ for just pure beauty

‘Spec ops: the line’, for the precise opposite.

Reminder that there are video games in the MoMA

…wikipedia.org/…/List_of_video_games_in_the_Museu…

The collection includes games like SimCity 2000, Dwarf Fortress, EVE online, and Minecraft.

comfy,
@comfy@lemmy.ml avatar

There are also game archives, which aren’t curated as a museum typically is but I think it’s worth considering the Flashpoint Archive for web games to be somewhere in-between. I unlocked one of the games which I believe ended up in there.

Aw dang, I missed the point at which you reached a full year of these, belated congratulations on that

Thanks for sharing! I don't play any non-steam games these days but this may be useful for some.

Hope you’re all well, and enjoying gaming lately. Again, all apologies for my absence from Lemmy lately :)

I do miss you and your content dearly but please don’t apologise for looking after your health!

Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age. It’s the Lord of the Rings equivalent of RPGs.
