When it comes to video games which have conflicts in which you can choose a side, what games allow you to instead say "Fuck you" to both sides of the conflict and instead go for your own solution, or even just betray both seeking power.

>Dark Messiah

Allows you to betray both the world as well as your demonic father so that you can rule the world yourself, and bonus points for all this being because of your succubus waifu that wants nothing more for you to grow in power and kill the other worse girl so that she can be the only waifu

>Singularity

Allows you to say fuck you to both sides at the end and instead take over the world.

Sounds metal.

I'd post deus ex but its choose your own scare approach brought to you by Goosebumps™ was removed

Problem with both games is that these decisions are completely disconnected from the game at large. You basically get to decide what to do in the last five minutes of the game, just like in Deus Ex.

The ending choices doesn't hold much weight then, nor does it encourage you to replay the game.

But back on topic, New Vegas and Bloodlines both let you tell everyone else to fuck off and do your own thing.

True, but even then it's a nice touch to have at least an ending where you can say fuck you to the annoying, useless sidekick bitch and go for the succubus while also giving a middle finger to your demonic dad or take the world for yourself although I would love more games to allow you to do your own thing for the entire game, having whole routes based on it.

Wasn't there an Armored Core game which basically had a villain route like that?

You know that funky block game Minecraft made by those Mojang fellows allows quite a lot of freedom to do what you want. Heck you can blow the whole entire map up to smithereens, or even commit genocide on thousands of NPC villagers.

Tyranny probably does best out of all narrative focused games.

Expeditions conquistador has some of the most natural/meaningful feeling choice options i've seen in a game.

Basically, each potential member of your party has personality traits, and those influence what sort of events and decisions can happen. If you have a party member who is lecherous, he might attempt to rape a native girl, or somebody super religious might massacre a bunch of people for worshipping an udol and then you need to decide how to handle that, be it encouraging them or punishing them or other choices, and that has lasting consequences and etc, and it branches out iinto this sort of choose your own adventure network of choices and options that's super replayable.

Highly recommended to anybody who likes choices in games, tactical RPGS, DEUS VULT/remove kebab-fags, and Aztecaboos.

while you are technically correct that VtM:B allows you to go your own path, Damsel is on the ararch side and has nothing to do with the lone wolf path.

I don't even think she merits getting flipped off by you as you walk into the night at then end.

also shes a fucking cunt and probably the worst girl in the entire game including that butch at the blood bank.
