Pretty much, I’m looking for a game where I’m not the hero, I’m not the protagonist, I’m just a pawn in the big picture.

Preferably a game with a big open world too, one that feels real and isn’t just a predetermined path for my player.

I also like games where you aren’t clearly stronger than all your opponents like you’re some sort of God so they actually feel intimidating and there is a fear of dying

All suggestions are welcome

Thanks :>

    Ah, must be client side then. Well, tbh the spoiler isn’t even something from the game - it’s something we only learnt about way back in the Waking Titan ARG

    It’s very much a game that’s built around finding other people and building a community - that’s why the various player made factions are given the official thumbs up and everything. Just a big ol’ sandbox.

    If you want something with more character and story, I’d go to the expeditions - they’re unfortunately time limited (though HG usually reruns all of them at the end of the year), but they all offer a self contained story outside of the main plot that takes place in a smaller space and usually contain more characters and give your character a role that’s actually integrated with the larger world (like for example, in one of them we were explorers with the cartography guild out to document a worm cult). Also they’re usually full of interesting gameplay restrictions to use and abuse which is fun. Imo it’s the most interesting thing the game has to offer.
