    I’m not certain if I’d be more fucked in Factorio, The Elder Scrolls, Terraria, or Stardew Valley. I’d be fucked either way though since I assume I’d be a rando off screen, and not the main character

          Oh absolutely! I’ve logged a few too many hours in Derail Valley. It’s very fun for when I just want to hop on and drive some trains, although it doesn’t really scratch the “I want to play with trains from $SpecificLocale during $SpecificTimeframe” Itch that simulators like Trainz do, where you can for example drive a Metra commuter train from Harvard into Chicago, or jump to Germany and drive the ICE or switch freight wagons in post-grouping Britain, or drive local freights through rural Australia

      It’s pretty safe to be an NPC in thr Elder Scrolls as long as you aren’t important or interesting and you’re polite to adventurers.

        I held off the dragons till I did everything else because I got so annoyed with them killing townspeople in Skyrim.

        Morrowind taught me to take over some asshole dark elf’s house in Seyda Neen, and powelevel all my skills to 100 before I left the first town so that a random cliff racer, or kwarma forager didn’t take out me and any random NPC around me.

        Oblivion, beeline to Anvil, buy the house, and again just max out all my skills. Mostly so that the random encounters didn’t kill me. I don’t remember having issues keeping NPCs alive in that one.

        I’m entirely uncertain that any of us normal non magicka wielding randos would survive long in any of the most interesting times of mundus.

          Yeah something like the Oblivion Crisis would be tough on the commoners. But if I could just chill in Vivec City or even Whiterun for most of history it’s pretty safe.
