Other games like Ultima 4 and PST?

...where things like behaviour, choices and dilemmas are central to the experience?

[Falksi]

Witcher 2

Isn't Tyranny marketed as such?

KOTOR II

Not just marketed, despite other flaws, the game does pretty well in the CnC department and is pretty reactive as well.

One thing I particularly enjoyed was that ..

Spoiler

based on your previous choices and dialogue choices you could demonstrate your superior understanding of Kyro's Law to Tunon, who is the Archon and literal physical embodiment of Kyro's Law. He could then join you whereas other would have to fight him as endboss

Tyranny was a pretty good game actually, even better in hinsight, now after I got over the terribly boring combat.

Sword of the Samurai and Expeditions: Conquistador. Perhaps even Alter Ego if you think of it as an RPG (which it is).

Odyssey: The Legend of Nemesis

Rance

 

[Martyr]

Prelude to Darkness.
it's certainly not like Ultima 4 or Planetscape, but Prelude's story is all about moral dilemmas and your choices.

Age of Decadence.

 

[Lurker47]

AKA just good CRPG's?

Why do we search for these things in video games when we could go outside and experience all of it in real life? Is it the fantasy element of not being able to do certain activities in modern life, such as slaughtering armies and warfare etc? If you think about it life is basically the biggest and most complex rpg available to us but instead we choose to waste our time in our rooms playing wildly inferior versions on our home computers. Really makes you think....

If I fuck up something in a game I reload, if I fuck up something in real life it can involve hospital bills, lawsuits, jail time, or even untimely death.

Objection. There's also Dark Earth adventure game which is well known in neighbour subforum as a cult classic. It also features a corpse-colored protagonist and eclectic worldbuilding.

Don't worry you won't die. Unless proven otherwise you are immortal, I never heard about someone complaining that he died after a bad choice.
