This is always the most fun parts of games for me. Freeing slaves in Morrowind, destroying the legion in NV, it just feels good. Please provide me with your recommendations on where I can :JB-shining-aggro: , thank you :fidel-salute:
RDR is the obvious choice, but you can also kill KKK people in the newest Wolfenstein!
Just resumed my latest slave start, after 17 days at Rebirth I've managed to knockout multiple guards and imprison them in their own cages so I can now focus on taking out the group by the gates. Starting at the slave camp is pretty much a minigame in itself and allows you to play it a bit like Runescape for bit.
My last one I started in Sho-Battai because I selected the wrong starting location (I have some mod that duplicates a bunch of the origins with different starting locations, it's very annoying), ground up athletics and stealth, then ran to Rebirth on day 3 to start training there.
I am not at all surprised that this community is fond of Kenshi. How many other games let you stage a rebellion against a repressive slave empire in a totally non-scripted, emergent, and player driven way?
Jesus I just remembered the long, long war that preceded me invading the Holy Order. It started as little border skirmishes with their scouts and escalated and escalated in to huge field battles. I had a whole string of little garrisons around their southern border, but eventually the raids began to be so time consuming that I was forced to take the battle to them just so I could have time to do other things.
I also just rememberd my ninja, Stinks. Stink's sex was ambiguous and their gender was hidden. They were the fastest human being in the whole world, and if they didn't want to be seen no one and nothing could see them. Everywhere my traders and armies and explorers went Stinks was there first, mapping out all the dangers and quietly eliminating some of them. One of my favorite characters in any game.
Red Dead Redemption 2 :castillo-cowboy:
Not only are there random slavers running around the map for you to kill, there are two arcs in which your entire mission is to kill banana republic slavers and ex-confederates.
If you’re lucky, you’ll also get a scene at the camp where everyone is singing John Brown’s Body (although they also sing Dixie lol)
Really there’s everything. You can kill slavers, confederates, capitalist tycoons and barons, Pinkertons, sheriffs, the mafia, and the US military (who are killing the Indians)

:both-sides:
the game encourages you to kill a eugenicist and an old slave-catcher. "some legacies, they are for pissing on" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nE3n4U1Koo8
Assassin's Creed Freedom Cry was a standalone expansion for Black Flag (the pirate one). It's set in Port-au-Prince, you play a character who escaped slavery as a teenager, and you kill slave traders, free slaves, and encourage plantation rebellions.
Oh dang! I haven't played an asscreed game in forever, a short little dlc standalone sounds perfect. thanks for this one!
It's the only one I've finished since the first two because I really can't be arsed with a thousand hours of generic filler. So it's already the best AC game for me and then you layer all that on top. :chefs-kiss: :john-brown:
If you enjoy it, AC: Black Flag is pretty fun. It doesn't really even feel like an AC game, more like an open-world pirate simulator with a modest emphasis on stealth missions. If you're not a fan of open-world collect-em-ups then you can skip it, but the pirate theme is a good match for the overall game design. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it.
Adewale was dope as fuck. Sucks that you have to kill him in Assassin's Creed Rogue
either gotta quit halfway through or play through all the dlc where they retcon their bullshit
Kenshi is a fantastic little indie game with two very prominent slaver factions that you can totally obliterate. It's very janky, which I find charming, but you should be forewarned going in
Kenshi is definitely not little, that game is flush with content and can eat your life.
Kenshi has been recommended quite a few times, it's been on my radar for a bit, maybe this is what gets me to give it a shot :curious-marx:
It can be tough to get into with some arcane mechanics. You're going to get beat up a lot and that's usually a good thing because it helps your characters get stronger. Don't try the base building stuff until you're used to running a handful of characters around, that's an entire different animal.
Most of all, try not to look stuff up or check out the subreddit. The game is at it's best when you're discovering it and it's pretty easy to break once you know how things work.
Second on don't try the base building until you're pretty tough. Rough and unpleasant people will start coming by to collect "taxes" and that can be real bad if you're not prepared to deal with them.
they said two factions of slavers. there's arguably three. the two they mentioned are countries though.
Another vote for Kenshi. I’ve had 2-3 long, relatively successful games but I always end up just setting up a desert settlement near the religious slavers and growing my squad by taking out their work camps and recruiting the newly freed. It’s a good game loop.
For me at least, it is a slower game. I’d guess a couple dozen hours to comfortably face anything but the weakest tier of combatants, at least first game. A few goats will 100% maul your ass

I put 300 hours in to it the first time I played, so that is a legit concern. You will become incredibly attached to your little people and their efforts to survive and become Shonen anime protagonists. I started out cheesing bandits with cross bow emplacements and ended up at war with, and defeating, an entire country of religious slaver fanatics. and there were large parts of the map I never even visited or explored.
There's actually a mechanic where you can be enslaved if you get beat up and knocked out, and you have to stage your own escape unless you want to work in a field for the rest of the game.
One thing to note going in; You get tougher and stronger by getting beaten up without actually dying. This is one of the core mechanics of the game. You have to lose a whole lot of fights and get your crap stolen, and spend a whole lot of nights huddled around a fire starving and hoping the Beak Things don't get you, before you start making progress on your way to becoming an unstoppable kung fu badass who could single-handedly defeat an army of 10,000 men. It's a big complicated RPG/Tactics sim set in a truly, piteously cruel world. You're going to lose a lot before you figure out how things work and start winning.
It's not, like, mechanically addicting, like Civ or Factorio. The joy in Kenshi is exploring the weird and wonderful world, and beefing up to kick the shit out of all the enemies who kicked the shit out of you and stole your dust sandwiches in the past. Also in teaching robots to do kung-fu. And also smuggling hashish.
KOTOR! The """Jedi master""" gets mad at you for doing it, but we've all seen the prequels and we know that the Jedi are canonically shit so who cares.
damn how longs it been since ive played that, im not sure which part you're talking about
Jolee Bindo, I guess?
He disapproves of killing the Czerka poachers (not slavers in this case, though of course the company does engage in slavery there) in the Kashyyyk lower levels and explicitly wants you to chase them away instead.
I thought those guys were slavers, oh well still counts since you can inspire a slave uprising and stem the tide of wookie slavery and kill a bunch of czerka drones.
KOTOR! The “”“Jedi master”“” gets mad at you for doing it-
lol Jolee is barely in the order at this point. Old man just wants you to get the corpos off his lawn. Im pretty sure everyone approves of you getting rid of the actual slavers even with violence.
All 3 of the raider gangs in Fallout 4's Nuka World DLC utilize slave labour. You become the ruler of the Nuka World theme park and engage in a slight amount of :JB-shining-aggro::troll:
Death to America
PS. Anyone who sides with any of the raider gangs gets the :stalin-gun-1::stalin-gun-2:
my first (and so far only) playthrough of nuka world i did the main questline so i could, you know, actually experience the main story of the whole dlc. later in the story i found out that this meant i had permanently and unalterably sided with The Raiders(TM) and i would have to betray and destroy my own fucking settlements in the commonwealth. i just wanted to experience the fucking story, TODD!
The first time I went to Nuka World I thought "Fuck these people" and started shooting. Then I realized there was no actual content if you wiped out the slavers. Just an empty DLC. So I re-loaded the DLC, re-did the whole DLC until the moment you become king, then said "Fuck these people" and wiped them out while laughing maniacally at their utterly futile efforts to stop me.
Fallout as a whole let’s you John Brown some slavers I’m pretty much every entry in the series
Warhammer 3 Total War. Dark Elves and upcoming chaos dwarfs are slavers. High Elves are snooty supremacist imperialists. Play as skarsnik and lead a shroom addicted goblin revolution to kill them all!
My favorite event in the game is the Wood Elves' Sportacus one. It's a harder battle, but you get the satisfaction of getting updates of the freed Orcs rampaging around the Dark Elves territory.
It's not a game changer for the overall campaign but probably the only event I really read through after the first playthrough.
I enjoy XCOM 2 for similar reasons. I think the ruling aliens have slaves but it's not a direct response to your prompt.
