Skyrim. For me it has all the best elements of a triple A game, but having a "silent" protagonist, no cutscenes and an open world still leaves enough blanks that you can fill in with a very vivid imagination (and shitloads of mods). I've probabIy written this up before but I RP pretty heavily when I play Skyrim. Aside from the usual "come up with a backstory and motivations" I try to base eveything I do in the game off of what my character wants rather than what I want as a player. I treat the overall story as one part Bethesda's questlines and one part my own imagined subtext. Skyrim leaves most things open ended enough to let my character shape the story and for the story to shape my character in pretty organic and satisfying ways. There's also just enough randomness to totally throw a curve ball into things which can be a lot of fun. I've had "good" characters throw away their virtue and humanity in fear of Alduin. I've had characters who are totally unapologetic bastards who saved the world merely because vampires killed an NPC they liked, and went right back to being unapologetic bastards immediately after. I've had two characters who were very similar from the outset take totally different paths because they were different races and they reacted to how people treated them. No two play-throughs are alike and each have their own natural arc, so I'm always up to come back to play through another one to see where it takes me. Honestly I've never been able to go back to playing Skyrim as "me" again and I have no complaints. So basically, Skyrim because I'm autistic as fuck.

Pick one and only one, no "I cant decide between these two" cop-outs Feel free to write a patented Wulff-style show and tell preschool report about it if you like, I always enjoy reading those

thank you for helping me self-insert as the little girl. On-topic: Heroes of Might & Magic III Wide variety of factions that all play differently. Fully-fleshed out magic system with different schools of magic being available and each of them catering to a different playstyle. Long and interesting campaign with neat little cutscenes that were pretty decent for their time. Literally hundreds of scenario missions to play with tons of different objectives and game rules that make each one a unique experience. Random seed maps. Very expansive map editor which is also simple to use, making community map-making simple and fun. Online multiplayer that to this day is still active. 100% God-tier OST. All in all Heroes of Might & Magic III is a complete package and provides probably over one thousand hours of gameplay that doesn't really get stale because of the hundreds of unique scenarios (plus the campaign) that manages to switch it up a good amount. Necropolis best castle.

The APPLAUSE light is some Pavlovian shit, let me tell you. It goes on for half a second and everyone goes nuts. But it was still really cool to see in person. Ray's interview was pretty great though (Speaking with a mild bias, of course), and the musical guest was solid (Country singer, not my normal taste, but very good).
