    Train Simulator, but you're transporting Union troops during the Civil War might actually kinda be fun.

    But I can't imagine doing Florence Nightingale shit for hours on end.

      But I can’t imagine doing Florence Nightingale shit for hours on end.

      What? Doing nurse stuff and talking to a whole wide cast of soldiers with blown off limbs and shit? Goddamn that sounds like so much fun actually. Love me some dialogue.

      Then again if it's just nursing minigames and nothing else then what's the point, you can play a cookie clicker if you're into that.

        I mean, a kind of story based "Stories From the Front Lines" game in the Telltale format could be good.

        But it would probably need cutscenes to the actual action spliced in with doing nurse stuff to try and save people.

        If it was "authentic", you're talking about a game where its just these grueling 14 hour shifts of changing bandages and cleaning up after corpses.

          14 hour shifts

          That's just playing WoW Classic innit?

          But yeah, I wasnt talking about a "realistic" experience, like I said before, some cinematic roleplaying experience type thing about the little things and not the world saving shooty bits and all. So I agree realistic video games would suck.

          Love the username btw, real deep cut.

            Always nice to see another Deathgate Cycle fan.

              Criminally underrated books. Been like 14 years since I last read them, out of order, because I had to loan them from a library and they were always gone.

              Alfred was always my favourite because the whole "I'm myself when I'm actually doing magic and after I'm done it's like putting on an ill-fitting suit." and that spoke heavily to my dysphoric-in-denial-self.

              Good times, the teenage years. :bugs-no:

                And the world building was top notch.

                I enjoyed the introduction to each new setting, the culture that got built up around it, and the perspectives of the locals relative to the outsiders.

                Weis & Hickman are easily some of my favorite authors.
