I’ve been working really hard on a big project, I finally finished it, and now I’m bored. I want to play an RPG where I can slaughter hordes of enemies as a pretty girl who looks like me. Yes, I want self-indulgent trash. I’m tired of trying at things, I want to relax, kill things, and see boobs. No MMOs please, I want a good rate of progression. Indie games preferred.

Games like what I’m looking for:

  • Prey (2017)
  • Carrion
  • Skyrim
  • Borderlands
  • Vermintide
  • Hades (But I want to play as a girl)
  • Control

    Since New Vegas isn’t on your list it has to be my top recommendation. Of all games I’ve ever played, New Vegas is the most reactive to and acknowledging of the insane and unbelievable things the player does. The actions the player takes have permanent effects in the game, and everyone affected will know that the player is responsible for whatever happened and say so. You personally control the fate of every community in the Mojave. In other games, you are powerful on behalf of the story, but in New Vegas you personally are all the power in the entire game.

        To be honest, this is what kept me from playing it at first as well. It’s a pretty old game, but mods can help a lot toward making it easier on the eyes. With Vortex through Nexus modding is super easy nowadays.

            In New Vegas, it will make sense for your character to look any way they want. In the game’s story, nice clean things are available but restricted to the rich and powerful. The player, however, is the most powerful and the most influential as to who ends up getting what by the end of the game.

                You can go to New Vegas itself, buy a pin-striped suit or a cocktail dress, gamble, drink, do quests and flirt/fuck people with sexuality defining perks for the player. You can even score a cute dress off a dead broad’s bones in the DLC. You can serve cunt but you have to work for it, basically. New Vegas itself is like the biggest city-state in that slice of the country so its actually the one place in Fallout that suits being an e-girl bad bitch protagonist.

                Haha, yeah. The courier probably has the biggest turnaround of any bethesda game protagonist. They go from a completely anonymous average person delivering packages to being essentially a demigod capable of pretty much anything. No fate, no destiny, no special heritage, just you and your choices.
