and why?

    STALKER. I’d be miserable, but I spend so much time in the Zone already.

    Or maybe Stardew Valley if I want to be happy.

    Assuming I don’t die, I think it’d be fun to travel throughout the World of Twelve in the MMORPG Dofus. It wouldn’t be nearly as fun as visiting the world as seen in the animated Wakfu show or the spin-off, but at least I could meet Kerubin and be an Ecaflip.

    Otherwise, I have absolutely no idea what game I’d wanna be stuck in because after a long time I’d get bored of just about every game, Dofus included. Though, I assume by the time I start getting real bored of living in Dofus that the servers would be totally gone.

    Infinity Nikki 😅

    I am way outside if the age demographic but it’s so cute. If not that, probably Cyperpunk.

    Probably something like RuneScape, not because I particularly like playing it, but more so because that game is one of the least likely to ever be shut down. The idea of living out my afterlife all alone in an abandoned or offline game is terrifying.

    i would reject outright the very idea of immortality.

    for if one considers the implications of actually existing…forever,

    it would not be a blessing

    but a curse.

      And you might eventually die, after you have become a fallen empire yourself, and get stomped by some next level crisis, while the AI empires are less than useless. I consider this a plus though. Eternity is a very long time, and boredom is a very strong emotion. No game could keep me entertained for eternity.

        I’m imagining that “living in the game” implies something a bit more personal than the game interfaces. So I’d get to attend decadent high-society events, travel around and see the worlds under my domain, meet interesting aliens, have an affair with the fungoid president of planet AZ-12-69 (…)

        I mean sure, you’re right, I would eventually get my shit wrecked by an endgame crisis and things would go very tits up for my space empire. I’m not that good at Stellaris, just sorta okay, and something tells me that not having the birds’ eye view that the game gives you would make the strategising even harder.

        … But it is also worth taking into account that we can go beyond the interactions the game allows, so boredom would take quite a bit longer to set in.

          Rush Titans, make a Behemoth Planetcraft or five, or just one Systemcraft. Even the Blokkats can’t handle that level of firepower. The fleet power isn’t a number anymore. Just a white skull

    Unbelievably, no one ITT has opted for one of The Elder Scrolls games. So, let me break that seal.

    I’ll go with Oblivion, for several reasons. For one, Cyrodiil is my favorite locale. You’ve got elements of most of the other regions incorporated into it and it’s one of (if not the?) biggest in Tamriel.

    Second, the world-ending calamity is largely resolved by doing a relatively simple mission, repeatedly, and then letting this other dude (Martin) make the ultimate sacrifice.

    Third, custom spell-crafting. I had so much fun with that shit while playing the game, I could easily dive back into it, and it’s essential to be able to custom-craft spells if you live in a world with magic.

    Fourth, damn good side quests. ‘Nuff said.

    Fifth, as other people have mentioned, mods. This makes my eternal paradise infinitely expandable.

    Downsides are that there are mostly only eight different voices in the game, so that would get real fuckin’ boring. Also, the graphics are dated and due to the character creation system, I’d assuredly be some form of fugly. Also, due to the backwards-ass leveling system, without mods I’d have to spend a lot of time doing pointless shit to ensure I acquire god-tier stats. Finally, scaled leveling means that even with my system-abusing spells, I’d wind up fighting monsters that have obnoxious amounts of HP (although, realistically, this isn’t too much of an issue when your spells’ damage increases exponentially with each short-term casting).

      TES was literally my first thought, and I just entered the thread and yours is the first comment I’ve seen.

      So, you’re not alone :)

      However, Oblivion features a pretty small map - if Cyrodiil would be expanded proportionately to Skyrim or Morrowind and some content added, that would be great.

        I guess I was thinking of the geographical map of Tamriel and not accounting for the technical limitations of the game compared to Skyrim. Good point.
