I’m an old man in D&D? Yeah, I’m dead
Well, as far as Path of Exile 2 is concerned, I’ll try to become someone’s pet. Pets don’t fight, are invincible and all they do is follow their owner wherever they go. I’d be able to see wondrous landscapes and all kinds of monsters without a care in the world.
Everyone looks partially cartoony and keep talking about a vault.
And the damn neighbour has some weird mutant dog.
Star Wars.
I’ll accept it.
Nice invincible verse
Star Trek? Hell yeah. The Borg might be a small problem and the Klingon, but no cooking, no cleaning, no need for money.
I consider the Borg to be a goal, not a problem.
I am introvert. I cannot even imagine having people mind connected 🤣
I am confident we will get there. Have faith.
I don’t know. It seems that it is going towards the Star Wars universe though.
Pokemon seems awful
Ever present terrorism, most towns don’t have food
Animal attacks are more common and dangerous
These terrorist organizations are at least nice enough to let you attempt to capture a relatively weak pikachu for over a decade. My boss gets mad if I go over my 15 minute coffee break.
If you take them at face value and not as a gamified abstraction, sure. “Pallet Town” having three buildings is unlivable but it isn’t shown that way in non-game media.
The organized crime is rough but that usually gets sorted out by a child at some point so just keep your head down.
Ever present terrorism
No one said you couldn’t join them
Assuming I can find Sam and Dean or stay the fuck away from Sam and Dean I would be safe.
Wheel of Time wouldn’t be so terrible except that you lose 400 years of technological progress and you’re completely screwed if you’re a male and end up being a magic user.
Just stop channeling until they
spoiler
cleanse Saidin
But yea, without modern technology, I’d actually have to go outside? And talk to people? 😱
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
Stardew you’d at least be fucked in the good way. I mean, just look at Mayor Louis and Marnie
what are your thoughts on Abigail?
Who doesn’t love Abigail? My wife and I came within a hair of naming our first child Abigail but ultimately chose a different name
Nope. You’d most likely be stuck in the city the player escaped from, or the war that Jodi’s hubby is in in the first year.
Because of your username, are you familiar with Derail Valley Simulator? It’s an excellent locomotive simulator.
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.
The Expanse fans:
… dies on Eros
I’m good. I mean, there’s a hell portal right next to a certain town in the countryside, but even the demons of this world are more “asshole characters and weird animals” than actual-ACTUAL-demons. Plus they seem to have completely handled issues of poverty and such by taming all of nature with magic, even if they still use money and have jobs. Less ‘socialism’ and more ‘post-scarcity society, but with magic instead of tech’.
… I’m talking about Equestria from Gen 4 My Little Pony by the way.
… Then again ponies are like SUUUUPER racist, so if I end up there as a human, I think I’d be experimented on.
With a bit of twisting you get diablo1/2 universe
… For real?
I was a child that didn’t understand english when I played Diablo, so I’m willing to take it at face value but like.
For real?
There is one animated meme making the rounds now, posing the question on whether viewers would want a bucolic near-communist solarpunk future where everyone is happy and has their needs met, or a 40k future of massive mechs that can level entire cities on their own.
I say: why not both?
Crunchy outer shell of 40k that is just enough for a healthy defence of humanity, 90+% gooey solarpunk interior that gives everyone else a psychologically healthy and comfortable life.
Each zelda game is wildly different when it comes to the state of the world so i can’t say for sure. All i know is i need to protect my pots from that maniac in green
You’ll cease to exist when the Wind Fish gets woken up.
+1 for Zelda fan. But just be pot seller and you’re set for life.
I’ll take a half.
SCP fan. I’m fucked.
Oh dude. I hadn’t even considered SCP. At least you might meet Alan Wake. Never played the games, but I assume he’s an interesting guy if he lives in that universe, and has survived multiple games.
I haven’t played the games either, tbh I didn’t even know there were games.
I’ve been reading SCP’s for probably over 15 years now though, with varying levels of obsession with it during that time. There is so much lore and interconnectedness now, seeing it grow from just a few stories was incredible.
Check out Alan Wake, Alan Wake II, and Control, all by Remedy Entertainment. They’re not directly SCP, but they’re adjacent/parallel to it.
I actually didn’t know there were this many. I’ve read a lot of the SCPs, but the organization deciding that they needed to kill everyone just kinda killed the universe for me.
https://containmentbreach.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_Notable_SCP_games
I just happened to find out that Allen Wake is set in that universe because of some article that I read in the last couple years.
I mean, that explicitly didn’t end up happening though, that reality got reset. The chilling part is the implication that that’s a very bad thing.
Wasn’t aware of that part. Good Lord. I am beginning to suspect that SCP lore may be a magnitude of order larger than TES lore.
We’re talking about SCP-5000 Absolute Exclusion Harness right? That’s the main famous SCP where the foundation starts trying to exterminate humanity. But yeah, it’s all told through digital archives onboard a wearable device that renders the wearer completely safe from basically reality as a whole that just appeared and tells of a chilling alternate reality where the foundation starts exterminating mankind and it is implied that the wearer ends up using the suit to survive and then “reset reality” using some other SCPs and that reset reality where that all never happened is the reality the rest of the SCP Foundation we know exists. The Harness is the only thing left as it is shielded fully from basically anything.
