  • A bit late to the thread, but I wanted to add the Gothic games to the mix. They don’t hold your hand and are relatively grounded in reality (within their fantasy world). Controls are a bit janky and the English voices as well. If you can, you should play in the original German or Polish. The Witcher series was heavily influenced by Gothic, especially Gothic 2.

    If they are too old for you, the Remake is slated for early 2026. A demo is available on Steam and GOG and should give you a pretty good overview of the atmosphere and the way the games work.

    Just stay away from Gothic 4: Arcania. Totally different studio with none of the charme.





  • I once did the calculation. If you accelerate at a lovely 9.81 m/s^2 you reach light speed in about a year or so. So if you time it right and decelerate with the same rate you can reach about any place in the nearby universe in about two years.

    Just need to figure out this pesky energy problem. And hopefully not collide with cosmic rays on the way.
