The only game I've ever really enjoyed as a player was Call of Cthulhu, and I recognise those sources of frustration from the last bit of d20 I played (it was Star Wars, I was playing an antique protocol droid who longed for the day when a mission could be concluded without violence, just once, and didn't get on with the shoot-first-ask-questions-later mercs in the party at all).<br /><br />I think you covered most of my suggestions with 'any adventure game', although I recall that it's possible to play through, say, Baldur's Gate a bit like that (i.e. not fighting unless you absolutely have to, which tends to mean you only engage with random encounters and set-piece boss fights). Maybe it'd be better said that there's enough plot, sub or otherwise, in games like Baldur's Gate to make an Investigator a happy one.Vonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12583821960347555993noreply@blogger.com
