RPG games to play with one hand. Literally.

Play a street bum in Skyrim. You'll have to make it to the first town, though, so I suggest using your nose to hold down the W key.

The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Director's Cut.

Play in isometric mode (best mode). Problem solved.

Reinhardt One of the few gamers that actually seems to use x2 hands while playing a game or an RPG. Salute. :salute:

I don't have any suggestions though.

Icewind Dale if aesthetics are enough to take your mind off things, King's Bounty: Crossworlds if you are sucked in by autism rather than audiovisual splendor.

Most of the games suggested in this thread are annoying to play with one hand, to put it mildly. Not being able to use hotkeys, or constantly switching from mouse to keyboard and vice-versa can easily turn a gud game into an irritating slog. I remember having my arm broken once, and it's a real bitch to play gaems with one hand, even TB ones.

I suggest switching from "rpg games" to turn-based 4x strategies. Anything that tingles your fancy: Stellaris, CK 2, Civilization, whatever new and popular ones. Or go old-school, play Eador: Genesis, better yet - Dominions. By the time you finish reading the manual, your hand will be fully recovered.

The benefit of playing 4x is you spend more time thinking rather than making any kind of player input. You could play them with your dick if you wanted to.

A nice in-between game is Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes. This one is often overlooked, but has both 4x and "rpg game" elements in it. Extremely customizable, very fun to play, still prefer it to Endless Legends (they are kind of the same sub-genre of 4x games).

Git better or sumth, I don't care.
