  • OP asked for “RPGs for people who don’t like RPGs”.

    And yes Cyberpunk has all of that:

    • Story, Conversations and Decisions
    • Quests
    • Skill and Leveling system

    It’s a proper RPG but with a huge focus on the shooter/action part and yes, in my opinion it lacked on the Quest and interaction part.

    But I wouldn’t say that the battle system alone defines a RPG, see Mass effect 2 + 3 and the Witcher.



  • Why not try out Western CRPGs?

    I gather from what you’re writing, that you’re trying to get into JRPGs.

    If you want action-laden fights without random encounters, I suggest the “old” BioWare RPGs:

    • Mass Effect Trilogy
    • Knights of the old Republic 1 + 2
    • Dragon Age Origins (never played the sequels)

    They’re old but gold and still one of the best.

    And there are still:

    • The Witcher 3 and
    • Cyberpunk 2077











  • Not from a real “collapse” point of view.

    The last real collapse which ended civilization was the end of the bronze age.

    The end of the Roman Empire was way more transistory in comparison.

    Yes, civilization was set back, yes, rulers changed, but if you scrap the whole renaissance/ enlightentment propaganda about the “dark ages” there were more things that survived than collapsed.

    In the end we’re living in the same civilization as Aristotle, Augustus Caesar, Charlemagne, Elizabeth I., and Bismarck.

    Let’s hope global warming / nuclear war doesn’t take care of that.
