Stranded in a barren wasteland: What rpg do you take?

[Andhaira]

SO you are stranded in a barren wasteland with a nearly unlimited supply of food. You have no hope of being rescued ever and you cannot escape from the wasteland because you have no transporation and itstoo big to walk (you can'tcarry your food and water supply so if you walk too far you starve/die of thirst)

Luckily you have a laptop and one crpg of your choice: Which one is it? Which rpg do you see yourself playing for the remainder of your days?

Disucuss!!

 

[St. Toxic]

I wouldn't settle for that kind of existance, honestly. So, I'd probably end up trying to push my "nearly unlimited supply of food" across the barren wasteland, in search of civilization, rather than play with my laptop for "the remainder of my days".

 

[Durwyn]

Yeah... A laptop... Which battery lasts three hours...
It's too short to even make a character in decent cRPG.

Well, most of nowadays games are even shorter than that, so some fps would do the trick.

 

[NiM82]

Morrowind, because I like it's bundled World Creator and could happily fuck around with that forever.

Morrowind, because I like it's bundled World Creator and could happily fuck around with that forever.

Fuck you, I wanted to say the same.

 

[Worm King]

I'm strapped to this computer 24/7 as it is and I want to put a bullet through my head already. I'd dismantle the laptop and use something sharp from it to cut open my veins. If it still works, they will discovered a smile on my corpse's face and Arcanum on the screen.

 

[Andhaira]

Oklets assume the 'barren wasteland'is actually on some giant volcanic island. (The volcanoe is dormant)

Your laptop is an experimental prototype with a small sized powersource that will last for approx. 100 years!

And you can only choose ONE game.

 

[Vibalist]

The prospect of playing one game for the remainder of my days is pretty damn sad. Especially if it's a plot driven rpg that becomes unexciting after you've completed the main quest once or twice. I'd probably go with a huge game that has many different possibilities like Arcanum, or maybe The Witcher simply because it's so fucking good.

For a non-rpg I'd probably choose something like Football Manager 2009 or some sort of strategy game in order to have something that plays out differently every time.

 

[bhlaab]

I'd probably just kill myself if something that horrible happened to me

 

[King Crispy]

I think a better question is which fellow Codexer would you choose if you had to be stranded with them?

I would choose you, Andhaira, because of the intense pleasure it would bring me to throw you into said volcano.

Also: Do we get access to all existing mods for this CRPG? Or vanilla?

 

[Cassidy]

I think a better question is which fellow Codexer would you choose if you had to be stranded with them?

I bet a genuine copy of Fallout 3 someone will say Kaiserin.

As for bringing a CRPG, I'd bring none. There is no point in living just for playing computer games.

 

[LCJr.]

Well ibn al-Andyhara it doesn't matter how food you have since you'll die of dehydration in ~4 days.

 

[Admiral Rimjob POOBUM]

Daggerfall. I could never get into it because it horrified me with the sheer timesinkiness of it all, which obviously wouldn't be an issue, and the experimental power source would give me cancer in a few months anyway.

 

[Andhaira]

Well you have water too obviously.

And Cripsy, are you a closet Xenu believer? (Hmm and your name isCrispy...)

 

[MaskedMan]

Maybe some roguelike, as they are probably the type of games where you benefit the most from insanity. ADOM.

Was my first thought actually.

 

[LCJr.]

Well in that case why fuck around with silly games?

I'd want a satellite uplink for the laptop so I can hop on the phone/internet and get the hell out of there. Or at least a GPS with inertial tracking so even I can't get a fix on my location I can keep track of where I've explored until I find the way back to civilzation. Oh and plenty of batteries or a solar charger.

 

[Xor]

Notepad and a C compiler, I'll write my own goddamn cRPG.

 

[Volourn]

NWN.

 

[asper]

This has been discussed before.

In any case, in this scenario replay value is almost the only thing that counts. So Dwarf Fortress for me. And some hentai game.

 

[Panthera]

Unlimited Adventures because the adventures are unlimited.

 

[JarlFrank]

Wizardry 6-8.

 

[Radisshu]

Couldn't I bring a tent instead?

 

[aboyd]

Planescape.

 

[Andhaira]

Planescapeis anadventure game with rpg elements, so it doesn't count.

Neither does WoW because its a MMORPG.And plus you don't have an internet connection!

(which probably means you can't play Mass Effect thatnks to the stupid copy protection)
