Let's talk about games that have living environments and recommend each other some games of that type. What exactly do I mean? Well mostly I mean games that are true sandboxes, not the GTA type sandboxes where you are locked into a city where your actions have no consequences on the state of the city. I mean games that create living environments for you to play in, influence or just watch develop on their own if you wish so. Games that might or might not have goals but if they do, they also give you a lot of freedom in the ways of accomplishing such goals. I'm talking about games that are not centered around story but around giving the player the ability to interact with a virtual environment where he solves problems his own way, leading to creation of individual stories specific only to the player. And I'm not talking about the "open world, procedurally generated" shit either although those games might overlap, I'm talking about games in which you can REALLY influence the conditions of the game world.
A few examples of such games would be:
>The Guild 2
>Mount n Blade
>Most 4X games
>Most Grand Strategy Games
>Sid Meier's Pirates
>Port Royale 2
>Dwarf Fortress
>To a certain extent The Sims although it's a casual example
Anyone knows more games like that? Those have a lot of replay value and I've been starving to play something like that.
