Slavery in RPGs

You can own or free a slave in deadfire, and presumably work with the slaver faction.

You can be a slave (By being captured by slavers) in KENSHI

 

[oldmanpaco]

Skyrim with LoversLab mods.

If we're going down that road, might as well mention this:

https://wiki.anime-sharing.com/hgames/index.php?title=Jack-o-nine
Jack-o-nine-tails is a slave trainer simulation game. You play as a slave trainer who trains and sells slaves in order to attain wealth and status.

It's got a deep RPG system with magic, interesting world building and lore. It's also absolutely NSFW.

You can tell a game is when there is a loli patch.

Gar might technically be a slave, but it's barely addressed at all. A fart in the wind.

 

[Tweed]

Warsim lets you keep lots of slaves and uppity people will come and bitch at you about it, then you drop them through the trapdoor you built in the audience room. Althought it may be a small stretch to call it a straight up RPG.

None. It's always "hurr durr, evil bourgeoisie is oppressing poor dindus, do something about that!111" shitlib faggotry.

Even in rare cases when you have an option to be pro-slavery, it's an inferior and suboptimal choice that gets you punished by the game.

 

[Eastwood]

Not really an RPG, but Free Cities is an extensive text based slave management game, where you can train, trade (and fuck) slaves.

You should play Kenshi. Best way to level up your goons is by kidnapping people, locking them up in cages, then repeatedly beating the shit out of them.

Blackguards. Start in prison. Escape with some companions. Caputered by slavers. Forced to fight for freedom, gain a former slave as a companion. Plenty of side quests involving slavy things.

 

[vota DC]

Rome: pathway to power you start as slave and become emperor.

I did play Kenshi, and it's "by having them beat the shit out of your goons", not the other way around. Unless you mean robots with their limbs cut off being hammered on the robot beds , but they don't qualify as "people".

Of all games, Kenshi with its emphasis on hard manual labor just screams for proper slaves working in chains on your fields and ore nodes. But nooooo, when you buy a slave, you do it only to release him. That's exactly what I mean by shitlibs ruining slavery.

BG2, Copper Coronet: you can side with Hendak and free the slaves or maintain the status quo by taking Lehtinan up on his morally unsavoury offer. There is also the nearby stockade, of course, where children are being held captive.

Also BG2, Ust Natha: slavery everywhere, starting with the suicidal svirfneblin near the entrance to the city, the slave market where you can pick up sundry monsters, as well as the human slaves whom you may purchase once you've acquired an influential house's favour (it's up to you whether you wish to release them, and under what conditions, or to treat them like so much cattle). There is also the runaway Elven slave pursued by a Drow female and the Spiders' Feast on one of the upper floors (interrupting it immediately blows your cover).

The BG series is considerably darker than most people give it credit for (not that Larian cares, mind you).

 

[Storyfag]

Tyranny had plenty of slaves present around.

 

[luj1]

Morrowind, with "beast races" (Khajit and Argonians) being slave meterial for the Dark Elves.
I thought it was done quite well, and the "It has no master?" line is quite memorable,

there was a quest involving a drug mule, khajiit who is smuggling moon sugar in his stomach for the Cammona Tong

 

[Infinitron]

You know what I'm talking about.

 

[turkishronin]

Does X-Piratez count as an RPG? You can enslave people to increase storage size. It's basically encouraged as a very useful game mechanic

 

[buffalo bill]

Pretty sure there are some slaves at one point in Ultima VII Serpent Isle.

Posted as a joke, but maybe it actually doesn't look completely terrible?

A Legionary's Life allows you to make small profit via slavery.

You can wipe out the native anti-slavery tribe, side with the Crookspur slavers, and force the slave to work on your ship.

I never sided with the slavers simply because I didn't like their faction that much so that's about all I know.
