What game let's me be a regular adventurer making a living and vanquishing evil with no 'chosen one' bullshit attached?

I pretty much want a high-fantasy simulator. I usually use a heavily modded Skyrim for that, but the combat is unfixable (along with a lot of things) and the Nordic-inspired setting has always been offputting to me in this regard.

Bonus points for adventurer guilds, hunting, and the choice to do odd jobs instead of fighting.

Thanks, dad.

>we will never have a modern back-to-roots rpg because Skyrim opened the floodgates of normies to the genre
Skyrim is the #1 game that normies love to play and feel 'nerdy' about.


They actually got the Call of Duty audience. The madmen.

Age of Decadence? I mean, you kinda are following a lead to greatness, but you are by no means a chosen one.

Modded Morrowind, maybe modded Mount and Blade/Warband. Tales of Maj'Eyal could possibly do it.

Waiting for this for quite some times, hoping E3 reveal, it kinda cover what you asked for i guess

That's what I miss from old WoW, but normies all seem to want to be some uber-hero.

u drunk?

Always wanted to play this, but I'm too much of a pleb to tolerate the visuals, or rather, lack of.
>>
>>377893957
Looks neat. I'll keep an eye out for it.

Would be awesome if it was set in a traditional type of fantasy setting though. It seems devs go out of their way to avoid them these days.

Gothic is 75‰ This. You start as a literal who and get cucked for 90% of the game

>>377894713
Dragons Dogma would be SO much better immersion-wise if they replaced the fucktarded concept of pawns with regular (not moronic) soldiers from guilds.
>>
>>377894429
You may have killed some big dragons and shit in vanilla but at the end of the day the npcs treated you like any other mercenary. You weren't the "commander" or "Champion" and you didn't run around with ashbringer or doomhammer.
>>
>>377894957
At least, if pawn die or you sacrifice him it's kinda ok because they're for that kind of thing, less moral impact than killing off random solder dude from guild.

God that game was mediocre and just fucking slapped you in the face for going down the combat route.

Not him (and not entirely without the chosen one aspect) but Nox is very good.

>>377892748

Lord of the Rings Online actually does this really well.

But like most MMO's, it's ultimately garbage.

If modders picked this game up it would be glorious.

Yeah totaly the same there.

>>377895113
If you're playing a game simply to beat it as opposed to partaking in an immersive experience, I guess. It's a shame that I feel like the latter is the minority nowadays and the devs react accordingly. See >>377893426


I may be a bit dramatic right now though, in drunk and really want a somewhat modern rpg to scratch this itch I have.
>>
>>377895639
Holy shit trying this hard
>>
>>377895183
Anon, I think you're the retard. The other guy mentioned NPCs not referring to you as the chosen one. GM was just a title that caused players to respect you, but NPCs didn't change. As for legendaries, same deal applies. No matter what you had, you were still generic merc #1000 to the NPCs.

Nowadays you start up Legion and within 5 minutes you're the leader of your class and are wielding an ancient weapon.

official retard right there

>Killing thousands of players in pvp

But that's something the player earned through blood, sweat, tears and a whole lot of piss bottles.
Unless you were a top-end player who did all that stuff you were some no-name adventurer.

>>377893865
>story mode aka the tutorial has the player beat the monsters solo while experienced teams jobs
And there's no looming evil in MH, only assholes that ends up butting heads with the hunters

>>377895871
So, WoW is artificial difficulty after all... :^)

>>377895725
Typing up a post in less than ten seconds is far removed from trying hard, not that that would be relevant to what he said.

The original Fable, lies aside, delivers on a bit of that.

Not so much on the odd jobs outside of fighting, but you are one hero among many from a guild, not really a chosen one. Though, it is noticeable that the further you get into it, everything increasingly revolves around you.
