Hi, I can’t get enough D&D, so was wondering if someone could suggest a computer game that involves actual role-playing, like making a character with personality where interacting with the world based on that personality matters? I’ve tried some of the traditional D&D games (like DDO), and there is essentially no role-playing involved. You just build characters and run around and kill stuff. That’s the hack-and-slash version of D&D that I don’t enjoy. I’d preferably like games that aren’t super expensive; I think maybe WoW might fit my RP desires, but the $15/month subscription is too steep for me. And I don’t want a PvP game. Any suggestions? (Edit: Specifically I’m looking for PC and/or Android games)
Edit: Thanks for all the great suggestions. I’ve “wishlisted” a lot of them and decided to start with Disco Elysium. I expect to try a bunch of the others throughout the year!
A lot of games can be role-playing games if you want them to be, you can restrict yourself and play in the manner you want.
Like sure you can go in guns blazing in a game but you could also choose to role-play as an assassin, be slow and methodical, you don’t have to use all the mechanics they give you.
