Are there any games that deal with the downsides of immortality? Like having a god who is bored with the world but cannot die, or something like that?

It always seems to be either elves with music and shit or immortal 12 year olds in bikinis.

.. and be thrown into the eternal loop again, anyway

>le "you will see all your friends die"

As long it's not this regurgitated meme. This can happen even in real life, except then you're not immortal. Being immortal is always better.

>Tfw no game about an immortal protagonist who is on a quest to find a way to kill himself.
>Game starts out in medieval times and ends into the late future.
>Seeing your party members grow old and die during each generation.
>Protagonist never finds a way to die and in the end is cursed to live forever.

Imagine a game where the main antagonist is secretly immortal and you only find out at the very end when you beat him and he just casually stands up and brushes himself off before thanking you for giving him some entertainment. It turns out all the evil shit he did and everyone he killed was just out of boredom and he just casually stops and goes away.

How fucking bittersweet would that be?

>im bored
>so i want to die
how retarded are you? there are literally no downsides to immortality, there are no upsides to being dead. you have to be delusional if you think immortality is a bad thing

I dunno, I'm just 37 years in and I already want to die

>>376442328
You'll eventually grow jaded towards life. Vidya won't keep you entertained forever.

This. People who hate immortality haven't actually been immortal. You can get over literally anything with time. And if you're immortal you have enough time to do ANYTHING.

I like how they brought up the good and the bad.
Yeah, all your loved ones die and you go through countless wars but you also see how people change.

I'm glad someone posted this, I'd be pissed if it wasn't given a mention

There really is no escape is there.

Then what if you finished doing EVERYTHING? What then?

>>376443095
Sorry but that's not possible. Being immortal doesn't mean you become omnipotent.
>>
>>376442328
this is what a retarded underaged chuuni piece of shit would think

immortality is fine as long as there is at least one way to end it like cutting off your head or peeing on 3 legged hamsters, true immortality is a fate far worse than death
