It’s got a top-down CRPG view (similar to the Fallout 1/2), but Avernum: Escape from the Pit might fit thematically.
You end up in an underground fantasy world where “undesirables” are sent to by a corrupt empire.
Another option would be Underrail. Another top down CRPG, this time based in a post-apocalytic world where everyone lives underground. The world building is top notch and the combat is very well developed with lots of choices (it’s a also IMO a hard game). While the world building is strong, the writing (characters and their motivations) is rather weak.
IDK how “modern” you’re looking… Arx Fatalis was meant to be Ultima Underworld III but couldn’t due to the IP being owned by EA. The people at Arkane were in contact with the devs of Ultima Underworld though, as I understand it.
I’ve watched a couple of reviews for this recently because a couple people I know just got it on recent sales. What I’ve seen is that it really does try to lean into the feeling of UU games… ie it’s not just a dungeon crawler, but has a fleshed out story and dynamic interactions.
Looks like the recent price discount just ended with the end of the Steam summer sale… but it also looks like it drops that low fairly frequently. Though it’s not like it’s super expensive to begin with heh.
@Alaknar i didn't notice that there wasn't an update. I think in a way the project was finished , cause as far as i remember you could play the game from the start to the finish.
Opposing consumer rights initiative known as “Stop Killing Games”, bullying people in his holier than thou attitude while being completely wrong/lying about all of it. Just his typical rat behavior
I’m gonna guess this guy isn’t very effectual in the whole matter. Though I only learned of his existence in the last few days.
Has he met with lawmakers or made counter petitions or anything like that? Should we really fear him? Or are people just venting because the initiative is struggling to succeed?
He became really popular in a short amount of time, and he did more damage to the public perception than anything. Wayyyy more people followed pirate software rather than the stop killing games movement, and he pretty much just shit on it to an audience who never heard of it before.
I’m not super knowledgeable about the details of SKG, but from my understanding you need to get a lot of signatures and public backing for the UK government to actually pay attention, and pirate software basically killed any and all momentum the movement had, right when it was getting started too.
Or are people just venting because the initiative is struggling to succeed
It’s this one. He lives rent free in people’s minds because he made a video 9 months ago that has 1 million views where he says he doesn’t support it because it would cause undue burden on developers. Focusing on YouTuber drama is really taking away from the message of consumer rights.
There’s more to it than that. It’s not because Thor was publicly against SKG, it’s because he misrepresented the entire situation to his much larger audience. The reason there’s a big focus on this now instead of 9 months ago is because Ross (the creator of SKG) specifically didn’t want it to become “youtuber drama”. The reason it’s happening now is because the SKG movement is almost over and has been struggling, and Ross put out a video explaining how Pirate Software mislead his audience and actively turned public perception against SKG right when it was building momentum.
The cheery on top of this shit sundae is truly him framing Ross as some bully sending his toxic fan base against him when Ross has given him more than enough grace and benefit of the doubt
