You're an outlander and everyone hates you. As you get more inland the less people will talk to you and will even attack you under the right circumstances.

>>384782902
not that guy but I guess he kinda has a point. while in morrowind, you are "the chosen one", the entire game is more about the subversion of this trope and religion as a whole. you never have special powers compared to any other adventurer. instead of the game catering to you, it's your job to cater to prophecy and fulfill it or die like a bitch. you can die, and if you die, well I guess you weren't the chosen one nigger. off the azura's cave with the other failures.

>>384783546
The game is shit, but how are you not an absolute nobody in that game as you are with the others?

You know what sucks worse? When a good JRPG falls straight back into the rote-formula. Trails in the Sky is the biggest offender there is, in my mind. First game is a masterpiece, sets a great tone, the second is tortuous chuuni-shit.

>>384783387

In a decent number of FF games you're not the destined hero, you're just some mook that decides to save the world.
Most pokemon games? People always talk about you like you're a prodigy though.

>>384785860
It's even worse when people don't notice the difference and claim 2 is better.

>>384786031
It was measured, kept its shit together and made sense you mean? Trails SC sucks so much fucking cock it was actually offensive. So many asspulls, so many underdeveloped antagonists I did not give one fuck about.

>>384786174

You can spin shit as much as you want. It doesn't change the fact it has trails of pacing and has an even worst case of it than Sen 1.

>>384783146
Not from a stoy perspective. Xardas thinks since the first game you are the "chosen one" and 3 seals the deal when you are something like outside the influence of innos and beliar so you can make your own destiny and shit don't remember the exact stuff.

i dunno about dark souls to be honest. chosen undead gets thrown about a bit so i decided to check a wiki

"Once in Anor Londo, the player makes their way into the Anor Londo cathedral, where they face Dragonslayer Ornstein, of the Four Knights of Gwyn, and Executioner Smough. The Chosen Undead triumphs over them and gains access into the chamber of Gwynevere, where they are greeted by the Princess and awarded the Lordvessel. When Frampt sees that the player had completed their quest, he declares the prophecy set in motion and that the character is indeed the incarnation of the Chosen Undead."

if that is true then he is atleast somewhat special even if it doesnt give him special powers as far as i know

You can totally do this in the romance of the three kingdoms games, which are great.

>>384781373
That's how it is friendo face the cold harsh truth.

You wouldn't be able to do all those fantastic, heroic, unimaginable shit if you weren't the chosen one. You'd be just a villager who'd die from a simple disease.

Why can'y you people get that into your thick skulls. Some twig of a villager can't deal with supernatural or phantasmal shit without getting annihilated you NEED to be the /CHOSEN ONE/

BoF3 has its whole cast age after a time skip, which is a really neat thing for a game to do. It also pretty much subverts the whole "you are the chosen one" thing when you find out there's a hidden village full of dragon people that have remained hidden

BoF4 also has a lore reason as to why your whole party follows you through some intense nonsense. Shit's pretty great.

>You have dormant powers that just been awakened. You are also a chosen one of sorts.
>But your childhood friend who tagged along isn't.
>As the story continues on and more and more empowered party members are recruited, it becomes apparent in story and in gameplay that she's mediocre at best or dead weight at worst and only kept around due to being his friend.
>Is romantically interested in him, but at this point he might have fucked (or rather been fucked by) dozens of the new girls behind her back.
>At least a few of them are openly declaring themselves the protagonist's fiance or wife, leaving the childhood friend to silently scream. When she snaps and attacks one of them, it only ends badly for her because she's just a pitiful normal human.

Can one truly be a random nobody in a single player game? Game design wise the mechanics are never going to treat you like an NPC.

Better example would be Unreal Tournament multiplayer on random servers
