Ask Lemmy

Flower. I need a break from this country

A heavily modded Skyrim, nice open world plus all the extras from the mods also it would be easy to raise levels until you were a bsast just by blocking with a shield.

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.

AC Black Flag. Welcome to the Caribbean, love!

The Sims. Because I'd still be able to enjoy grilled cheese sandwiches. And if I die again, I'd just become a ghost.

Monster Girl Quest

Stellaris.

Going to be a space emperor forever.

Scribblenauts. Not my favorite series but with the ability to summon basically anything I want forever I could be essentially a god.

Satisfactory or No Man's Sky

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.

Mass effect probably assuming it behaves like real life seems like an interesting universe despite the calamity thing.

Source engine. I know it isn't a game but they can share maps resources and etc. So you have pretty much a world to explore and possibly scans of the real world.

Dwarf Fortress. It's the most earth-like simulation out there. While also being a great fantasy type game.

Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.

Because Hyrule and I got to be both the princess and the hero. Plus being able to summon a royal bed whenever I want to take a nap is nice.

Solitaire. Not interested in multiplayer. ;)

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).

X-Com, baby 😎 It would be just like Edge of Tomorrow

Oblivion for reals yo

Stardew Valley. Laid back, no real responsibilities, plenty to occupy myself with, easy to make friends or to ignore people, tasty foods.

Minecraft with mods. Tasty food, unlimited creation, tons of stuff to try

Dwarf Fortress would probably provide the most diverse experiences. Not necessarily good ones, mind you.

Wait, so like, do we just play the game forever? Or are we actually going into the game world?

Can we break the boundaries of the game mechanics since we're now "inside" it? Or are we still limited to what the game lets us do?

Some mmo where they keep adding stuff. Because my fucking god would it get boring after doing the same game 24/7 after a few years. If that is not allowed I'll go with one of those 18+ rated sex games. At least I won't be bored and horny.

Animal Crossing.

Chill AF, rarely deal with other people, most dangerous thing in the entire universe makes you look silly until you sleep it off.

Immortality can be scary. Eternity is an unfathomably long time. SCP-7179

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 seems like a nice pick.
