The only mainline TES games where you're "just a guy" are Arena and Daggerfall, desu.
Also, have you tried Wizardry series?

>>3979726
Are the Caribbean games good ?

I will find out soon, I got it alongside tainted grail recently, but decided to beat shorter story based game first. I played Sea Dogs games years ago, but I only have some faint memories of them
>>3979733
>Also, have you tried Wizardry series?
not yet
>>3979744
Not in my game. My characters never were on an execution in Helgen. Word Walls do nothing. Even if I kill a dragon, no soul is absorbed. Noone calls my characters dragonborn, no quests related to this exists.

>/vrpg/
>not a single rpg mentioned
sounds about right.
anyway try like underrail or undertale

>>3979829
>>not a single rpg mentioned
It's not anyone's problems that you can't read.

>>3979726
>elder scrolls
kek good joke op

Valorborn keeps being pushed as a kenshi-like but other than the jank I'm not seeing it. Wish more games just gave 0 fucks about you the player.

>>3979726
Underrail (single-character RPG)
ADOM (roguelike)
Caves Of Qud (roguelike)
Pillars Of Eternity, unironically (traditional classic party-basd RPG)
Grim Dawn (though it's actually a hack-and-slash, it's RPGish)

>>3979748
Tainted Grail seemed incredibly amateurish to me. The art style is all over the place, and yet somehow manages to consistently NEVER give the feeling of "Arthurian legend" at fucking all. You go from weird minimalistic Amazon MMO Spanish Inquisition directly to H.R. Giger painting and then to anime / Korean MMO dream world and it's like having a fucking seizure.
The combat seemed very Skyrim. Not in a good way, I mean that as an absolutely damning criticism. It's Skyrim except shittier somehow.
The inventory and menu UI was absolutely fucking excruciating. I don't know how, but they managed to do the Witcher 3 except even more obtuse and clumsy. Environments were barebones boxes stuck together, zero puzzles or navigation required.
And that point I just uninstalled the demo and said no. The "story"??? Just struck me as a teenager's dumbshit fanfic. "You guys, what if ARTHURIAN LEGEND????? But like.... grimdank??? And like... there's this knight guy? And he's trying to save the world from King Arthur who is trying to be resurrected and do evil shit that's somehow worse than the Spanish inquisition's experiments on humans??? Oh, and you have like magic powers and stuff to, like, throw fireballs before you hit guys with your sword like whAAMMM!!! and klbUUUUSHHH!"

After ten minutes of playing you will smell spaghettios. I fucking swear to god.

STALKER GAMMA

>>3979726
i remember having a fun time playing skyrim with the new life mod. I avoided the dragonborn quest and just run around doing quest meeting people and it was quite good experience.

>>3980193
>just run around doing quest meeting people and it was quite good experience.
This is what I've done in Skyrim in recent playthroughs. Difficulty on expert or master, depending on the character. Makes the world feel more real with dangers everywhere early on.
I have seen mods that add little quests and jobs, but I haven't tried them myself.

Oblivion is correct though. You are some guy who becomes Martin's right hand and Sheogorath later on. You are not the predestined hero of prophecy like the Nerevarine or the Dragonborn.

>>3980240
>You are some guy who becomes Martin's right hand
Correct.
>and Sheogorath later on
Nah bro I do KotN and then take one look at that demonic doorway out on the water and say no thanks.

>>3980266
If you did KotN, you are Pelinal Whitestrake, anon. You went insane when elves killed your boyfriend Huna ages ago. It's only fitting the mantle of Pelinal would continue on that path and become completely mad because of Martin's death. That doorway is your natural progression.

>>3980240
You are legitimately the predestined hero in EVERY elder scrolls game from morrowind onward. That is unironically 100% what you are.

>>3980281
Everyone in Morrowind knows the Nerevarine prophecy.
Everyone in Skyrim knows the Dragonborn prophecy.
Everyone in Cyrodiil knows the... oh wait... the one about the Amulet of Kings is about Martin, not you.

>>3979726
>Any Elder Scrolls game on here, a series where you are literally always the chosen one

>>3980240
The Emperor at the start of the game literally says he saw your face in his dreams

>>3980283
Play the game again >>3980287

>>3980286
see >>3980283
chosen for what, everyone knows you as Martin Septim's right hand basically

>>3980289
>>3980287
>Uriel Septim is everyone
>undescribed vague dreams of his own death are supposed to be a prophecy
Also, you play the game again, Uriel literally calls you "the sun's companion" the sun being Martin

>>3980287
>My dreams grant me no opinions of success. Their compass ventures not beyond the doors of death. But in your face, I behold the sun's companion. The dawn of Akatosh's bright glory may banish the coming darkness.

He sees Martin becoming Akatosh and you being around to help him.

>>3980287
>>3980289
>>3980286
>>3980281
That's like saying Sam is the chosen one.
We are the Sam to Martin's Frodo in the main game. Sam is not the chosen one.

>>3980283
>>3980294
So you didn't play oblivion, got it.

>>3980293
Not just sees you being around, sees you in his dreams nonfucking stop more than anyone else.
>BUT BUT HE WASN'T CALLED THE TITTYMARINE IN THE BOOKS IN SKYRIM
kek

>>3980296
>sees you in his dreams nonfucking stop
Yeah duh because he dreams about his son becoming the sun to banish the darkness away and Martin can't get to doing that without your help, just like Frodo could not get to the top of Barad-Dur without Sam carrying him. Still does not make your Samwise Gamgee the chosen one.

>>3980298
We get it anon, you're retarded.

>>3980298
>Barad-Dur
*Mount Doom, for the LOTR autists

>>3980300
>no argument
I accept your defeat.

>>3980302
I saw your defeat in my dreams, anon.

>>3980307
>coping this hard
lmao

So what are some other games where you play the role of Sam? Not just some guy like OP describes, specifically the role of Sam in relation to someone who has the role of Frodo.

>>3980319
>specifically the role of Sam in relation to someone who has the role of Frodo.
Oblivion is the only one that immediately comes to mind. It’s fairly rare narrative device, usually the player is muh chosen one who saves the day.
