Chinook posted:I'd like a game where you can build up a farm, or town, or even an entire civilization, possibly with multiple tech trees, barbarians, etc. But I'd like it to be EASY. It can be turn based or real time. But I don't want to be steamrolled in the late game. Just something I can play to relax while listening to podcasts or half watching shows. One of the Tropico games? I think you can turn off rebels in the settings maybe.

Enough to play through it three times.

I assume you’ve played all of the class of old crpgs: Baldur’s Gate series Icewind Dale series Arcanum Fallout 1 and 2 ?Temple of Elemental Evil if you’ve done all those? And the new class of crpgs: Pillars of Eternity series Shadowrun series Pathfinder: Kingmaker

So to go with that I haven't played through Pillars or the new Pathfinder as of yet. I've played shadowrun and that was good as well, but I guess I didn't get around to getting dragonfall so I'll think of that next. Thanks.

Dragonfall is really good. I remember Wasteland 2 having pretty good character creation stuff... but don't remember much about the actual game which may not be the best sign.

are there any good stealth games where, isntead of trying to go through the level undetected, the goal is to stealthily murder all the enemies? i want a game where i feel less like a ninja, and more like a slasher movie villian, coming out of the shadows to shank an unsuspecting victim, then disappearing before his buddies can turn around and shoot me

Aragami is a game where you're a magical shadow monster on some sort of mission to help whoever brought you to life, and there's medals at the end of each stage both for not killing a single enemy and for kill ALL enemies. (your quest is partly revenge-inspired) The enemies one-hit kill you with their light infused swords, so you better get your stealth on to violently backstab them all. It's kind of a janky indie game, but it's fun for a couple afternoons or evenings.

Dunno if gun-based stealth is included in what you're after but Splinter Cell Conviction and better still Blacklist both let you go all in on lethal force. Ghost Recon Wildlands does much the same but in an open world/co-op friendly format. Or there's the modern Farcry games with the added bonus that on top of murdering dudes directly you can sic wild animals on them. For a very direct "slasher villain" kind of feel there's the stealth segments in the Batman Arkham games (not lethal, obviously, but the enemies will lose their poo poo) or the the Predator and Alien bits of the various Aliens vs. Predator games.

My impression of Age of Decadence was that they wanted to make combat non-viable (or almost), but they ended up with "stat checks - the game" as an alternative. It also looks like crap. It's the kind of game I'd usually go for but IMO the execution was really bad.

You can vomit up a puke clone of yourself that can hide in a container and assault bypassers, among other murder skills. There's very little point in leaving anyone alive. The gameplay is mediocre, but the killing atmosphere is top notch.

You can stealth through most of the level, but the game fully supports and encourages just killing everyone. You can sometimes just murder your way out of an alert. There's something zen about, in the midst of chaos, killing off nazis one by one, especially with slow-motion following the bullet through your enemy's vitals to give you time to reflect on things. That's also one of the playstyles that Dishonored supports, even if the game tries to get on its moral high horse about it. There's also the predator sections of Batman Arkham Asylum, although nominally there's no killing.

Dishonored and Dishonored 2 have achievements for killing every enemy, as well as special (technically "bad" but also more thematically appropriate imo) endings for doing more murder than pure stealth, and the first one, in particular, plays much better if you constantly merk the guards. Shadow Tactics has you literally playing ninjas, but is mostly designed on the assumption that you will be killing your way through the level with ambushes, traps, and picking off lone stragglers; completing a level without killing anyone is a super-hard challenge mode, not the default experience. It's also easily the best game of 2016.

SimIsle  Well, you can gently caress up the environment if you want there, but you don't HAVE to. I liked it back in the day, but from what I remember it was still kind of meh and hasn't aged well either. SimEarth has the ecosystem thing going for it I guess, but that's about it.

So I've just beaten the base game of Shadow of Mordor. Though I of course do plan to get to the DLC in a while, I'm already interested to know if there's other games with something similar to the Uruk hierarchy and messing around with it (or just watching it play itself if you feel like it)? I know of course there's Shadow of War, which I do plan to get eventually, but it'll be a while especially since I kinda don't wanna deal with the 'dead Uruks come back with brain damage' thing that can happen and which personally irks me quite a bit (and I hear can be even worse in War relative to Mordor). But either way, more ideas are more than welcome!

There've been a few games that have aped parts of the Nemesis system. For example, XCOM2 War of the Chosen. The Chosen are ongoing mini-bosses who adapt and change between encounters, and do all sorts of shenanigans with your soldiers.

Is the whole package of Uruks fighting each other for dominance and you being able to mess with their affairs all together called the Nemesis system? Because yeah that's exactly what I meant. Really sad apparently it's only these two games at the moment, but oh well.

The closest I can think is Last Federation, which is a lot like your standard 4X space game, but instead of controlling an entire society, you control a lone spaceship as last member of a dead race, and from that position you must nudge the intergalactic political system into creating another galactic federation. Other than that, you might want to jump genres. Crusader Kings maybe?

Drox Operative is cool, you play Diablo in space while the galaxy plays a 4X game around you and your actions influence the balance of power. Primitive graphics but easy to get into and I believe there’s a free demo on the store page.

In addition to Drox Operative, I can recommend Zombasite, by the same developer as Drox. The nemesis system there is probably not as pleasing and in-depth as in the Middle Earth games, but they keep you busy by leveling up, causing trouble, inciting invasions of your clan, and promoting those within their ranks who also level up and cause trouble. It's a messy drat game but it's entertaining. I blather a bit about it in the roguelike thread.
