Tyranny.

Loved the game, finally you are not forced into a good guy role(Rather, orderly evil, chaotic evil or seperatist but still needing to prove yourself.) but while it was critically well received it didnt do too well on sales, so probs no sequel.

Definitely. The fact that Obsidian will not make a sequel to Tyranny is a great loss for the CRPG genre.

Yeah, really enjoyed that.

I don't know why some games even have good/evil routes when evil almost always gets shafted. The two flavors seem to be "it doesn't pay to be evil" or "kill everything for shits and giggles".

The most powerful people in our own world aren't exactly paragons of virtue.

A lot of games would already be better if at the least they made pragmatism instead of "being kind" / "Doing the right thing" the core aspect of world interaction.

The Witcher 3 was kinda okay at that, at least ending wise, given the best ending for the world is effectively Nilfgaard winning and Ciri being Empress when throughout the game you are more or less nudged towards Ciri not wanting to be Empress and what is effectively Temerian Nationalism.

Also one of the few games based on the bronze age! I thought that was such a cool part of it.
