What is your favorite RPG in terms of narrative integration into the mechanics? What makes it satisfying to you?

@kate im not going to say disco elysium because its too obvious, so instead i'll go with the second most obvious option: new vegas! i don't think ive ever seen a game manage to write this level of meaningful, deep roleplay into so many buckwild and different directions, WHILE keeping such a clear narrative focus and theming through the whole thing. its really great how every skill has impact on how you Talk to people, not just "raw" gameplay, makes the whole thing feel so unique and personal

@kate and i think its a testament to just how Right they got it that to this day, sometimes i see people talk about their experiences with f:nv and go "wow i had NO idea this was In There" or "i had no fucking clue this alternate way to get from point a to point b existed" how crazy is that??? this game is a DECADE old

@dee I absolutely agree. Tbh I was asking this because I haven’t had as much fun and felt like I was playing as unique a character in any other game BESIDES new vegas, disco elysium and morrowind
