Title: What is your favorite non-Minecraft related game?
Post by: Kovos_Datch on 19 July 2012, 11:08:24 AM
What is your favorite non-Minecraft related game? Tell us the name and why you love it

For me, it's Dwarf Fortress. Not many people really know about Dwarf Fortress.... but once you get in it, there is no turning back. Imagine decapitating a troll with a rat! Imagine ripping off someone's arm and beating them to death with it! Imagine building a massive fortress and having a forest titan come and destroy it all!

I love this rogue-like game because it is highly randomized each time you play it. You can play the actual Dwarf Fortress mode and build fortresses full of drunken dwarves, or the "easier" Adventure mode and play as a single human, dwarf, or elf. "Losing is [and always will be] fun".


So what about you? What is your favorite non-Minecraft game?

I rather like The Elder Scrolls series as a whole, but I would probably say my most favorite out of the series was Minecraft, closely followed by Daggerfall, then Skyrim. :P

Yes it did. And it will never come close to Dwarf Fortress. I got into Dwarf Fortress a year before Minecraft.

I bought Portal 2 on the Steam summer sale and only started playing it last night but I can say it is my current favorite game (that I currently play).

I personally liked Oblivion more than Skyrim. Skyrim is a great game too.

Really? The only thing that turned me off about Oblivion was that the people got REALLY repetitive, REALLY fast. I got tired of hearing the same voice actors over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Skyrim sort of fixed this (for me at least) by hiring more voice actors, but I still think they needed even more. For me, it's not truly an immersive experience unless every villager, character, enemy, etc. has it's own distinct personality - voice is a big part of that for me, especially as a vocal major, since I focus on people's voices more than anything else about them.

But, that's just my personal view. They're both fantastic games, with great gameplay and plenty of replay ability. I still go back and play both Morrowind and Oblivion, even though I've beaten the main quests and most of the side quests a dozen times over, lol. It's just a new experience every time.
