    It is a fair tale, though it is sad, as are all the tales of Middle-earth, and yet it may lift up your hearts.

    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 Trek? Hell yeah. The Borg might be a small problem and the Klingon, but no cooking, no cleaning, no need for money.

          You will no longer be an introvert. Your conscious will meld with ours. There will be no you, only us.

            Well i hope that us, will be more practical and less talkative, because my mind will melt or explode, if the women will talk as much as today.

        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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
