I like Barony, I do not like the difficulty cliff it gives you.

If you want more Skyrim, Starfield will give you lots of that. I know people give it a hard time, but it really is just more Skyrim in space.

It sounds like you’ve found some games you like but are turned off of by some difficulty bottlenecks. If that’s the case, considerWeMod. It’s a trainer for a ton of games that allow you to “cheat” in singleplayer games(god mode, speed hacks, etc.)

I still love playing games but as I get older, my tremors get worse, making it impossible for me to get through one on my own. WeMod allows me to explore all of the game world without being stopped by something as simple as clicking on something quickly.

I love WeMod, been using it since it was created

Death’s door. Didn’t think the difficulty spikes were that bad, and after doing the umbrella run, the bosses were almost easy the next playthrough

Edit: also just played Arranger and the cat quest trilogy.

I don’t understand fluff in this context, what does it mean? I searched in dictionary but I’m still not sure.

Anyway:

  • Spiritfarer: I don’t remember so much grinding in this game, and it’s a beautiful game, not too long, not too hard
  • The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood
  • Slay the Princess, but you don’t really play, you make choices. It’s a masterpiece of narration. If you dislike body horror, don’t play it.
alaphic,

Obviously I’m not OP, but I took them to mean content that might be considered superfluous or otherwise not as meaningful to the overarching narrative in and of itself

Thanks!

benni,

Yes, that’s exactly what I meant.

iAmTheTot,

Spiritfarer is awesome and I also recommend it, but I think I would concede there’s some “grinding” aspects. You’re going to be going out of your way to collect certain things.

I know exactly what you’re talking about with the burnout and decision anxiety for new games that take hours to complete a tutorial or have paragraphs of menu text. It’s not exactly the open world you’re talking about, but I found Hard Space Ship Breaker to be a great alternative to that. It’s got excellent lore and storytelling while still being a very simple game. Think power wash simulator, but breaking apart spaceships in a space trucker stop. It’s simple, and each “day” is a hard 15 minutes, so you’ll always have a stopping point in a reasonable time.

Maybe the Half-life games? You go through the game on rails, the most challenging part is the final bosses but you can skip those or use cheats.

If you haven’t already tried Oblivion Remastered, that’s a no brainier.

Avowed was pretty straight forward with a decent story. It’s more linear than Skyrim, and sometimes I had to reload a save because I walked into a situation I wasn’t ready for, but all in all, I made quick consistent progress.

I played both on Gamepass.

Also, there’s no shame in turning that difficulty bar down when it’s available. I’m in the same boat as you. I don’t want to master the game, I just want to enjoy it.

I enjoyed the Star Wars Jedi games.

What are some ROM hacks you can recommend?

There is Mass Effect on the Game Pass.

Dragon Age, the first one.

Maestro,

Yes, Origins is by far my favourite of the series

That game is very fun but brutally difficult. Damn boulders always get me

I’m an American citizen living in the Netherlands; I have a renewed 5-year residency permit. Am I allowed to sign? I’m guessing no, but maybe there’s an allowance for EU residents, not just citizens?

ProdigalFrog,

Pretty sure it’s just EU citizens. If you can’t vote in elections there, you probably can’t sign this.

The Dutch allow me to vote for the Water Management Board of my town. Other than that, no, I can’t vote in the other elections. 😢
