It looks exactly like Skyrim but the player character is an ant.

    Western RPGs kinda left Bethesda's realm after the Eastern European countries started making them.

      Yeah. Witcher 3 blew me away when it came out. Hell even Cyberpunk 2077 impressed me when I first played it (after all the updates).

        Also Disco and Kingdom Come, all unique takes that broke away from the Bethesda jank and managed to make compelling story based RPGs.

          Kingdom Come was the one where the dev wouldn't let the player or any NPC be black because of "historical accuracy", right?

            :yea:

            Guy was always a turbo chud so out of principle I avoided it. The fandom largely being chuds enjoying the hogfeed didn't help.

            "Historical accuracy" means killing a lord's guard means two weeks in jail instead of more severe and permanent medieval punishments which were very commonly documented. More importantly, it means :us-foreign-policy:

              Mordhau had a similar Chud problem. I overcame it by making a gigantic knight in a red tunic and beating people to death with my bare hands while spamming b its of the manifesto in chat.

              Historical accuracy in kingdom come means running around naked at night breaking into everyone's house and stealing anything that isn't nailed down.

                  The way they balanced stealth to be based on what you're wearing means the most powerful armor in the game is a black shirt and black trousers because you just turn invisible when you crouch.

          Was Kingdom Come good? I heard it was Meh. Disco is one of my favorite games of all time. I also would say it western RPGs went away from Bioware style games as well after Mass Effect 3 (which I will say after playing the trilogy again last year, I didn't hate as much).

            kcd was a game i wouldnt have found fun in a vacuum but honestly a game where attack animations are based off historical fencing was something i liked so much that it made me overlook the games many flaws. (ofc i did pirate it)

            Kingdom Come is a great game, but it could be so much more.

            When I first played it Kingdom Come was the first RPG of that type since probably Morrowind to really suck me in. It's a shame about the dev and it's a shame that it's so incredibly uneven - you'll do some of the best and most memorable quests ever, but you'll also get locked into inescapable boss arenas and battlefields that are awful.

      I liked Witcher 2, and witcher 1 was okay, but Witcher 3 never grabbed myinterests. Kingdom Come's combat was completely impenetrible and I gave up on it.
