assuming you've literally never ever played an rpg before (except for the ones in op), start with some of the most normalfag friendly titles like mass effect, deus ex human revolution, expedition 33, cyberpunk 2077.
or one of the easier/lighter on gameplay ones like the shadowrun games and disco elysium.
you could jump straight into the classics like the old fallouts, baldur's gate, planescape, vampire the masquerade bloodlines, but who knows how dated they'd feel to you.

Barely an RPG but try Battletech (assuming you play on PC like in teh pic)
It's one of the most non-anime mech anime game I've ever played.
Just remember to change the options or else it'll be so slooooow and the game will feel too long for you to want to beat it.
Disclaimer: There's a good amount of grinding involved

>>4067408
Play the original Ultima. If you survive that, it'll be smooth sailing from there.

Without the joking, since you gravitated towards FO4, maybe Fallout: New Vegas? That one, along with the original and 2, is generally very well regarded.

I despise Bethesda, but I will defend this game until I die. Launch 76 was great for one specific reason; it didn't have any bethshit NPC's with awful dialogue using the same couple VA's for everything. Don't give a shit about bugs or the jank gameplay, it was genuinely fun exploring this world with other players. I had a blast with my friend when we played it.

Yes, but you don't have to finish it. It was still quite fun for me.

I wasn't expecting this to be so genuinely good
The first JRPG with a party and they honestly got almost everything right
It's genuinely non-linear after you get the boat, no tricks, you can get crests in any order pretty much. Enemies stay at pretty much the same power level throughout the world to compensate but it's not unbalanced since your party also levels slow.
Prince of Cannock sucks though that might be the only real flaw

I kinda get why this happened a lot in the early days of home consoles games, especially JRPGs. Devs didn't really know what the fuck people expected out of a sequel. More of the same? Something totally different? Sometimes the path they chose was just "increased difficulty", because the devs would no doubt hear stories about fanatics who could finish their first game without dying, or in one sitting. I really feel like that's what inspired the difficulty spikes in sequels like DQ2 and Lost Levels.

Which role do you prefer in your MMORPG of choice?

>Things like crowd control, pulling, buffing, debuffing
Buffing and debuffing are not the same thing, it is wrong to lump them together. Crowd Control is usually a form of debuffing, although it can also be done with tanking+healing. Pulling is a tactical role.

Buffing is not a primary role because it always requires being secondary to someone else. Haste doesn't increase DPS if there are not DPS classes already. Mana regen doesn't increase healing endurance unless there are already healers. HP or evasion buffs require a tank role already existing.

Now, a given game can turn buffing into some kind of arbitrary minigame that is engaging, buffing can be absurdly overpowered and a game can be contrived so that buffs are required to win. But as far as a specific combat role, it is isn't distinctly essential like the other ones.
>>
By the way, "debuff" subdivides into multiple categories like
>movement reduction or immobilization
>damage reduction or neutralization
>defense/resistance reduction
>>
>>4056410
>Buffing is not a primary role because it always requires being secondary to someone else.
btw, you can also consider just the single-player perspective.
If you can buff yourself to become a tank, then you are filling a tank role not a buffing role. If you buff your DPS, you're filling a DPS role not a buffing role. And so on. Buffing is just the mechanism by which you accomplish the real role.

Idk about your standards but most porn games have excuse of a story. Some VN's have a bit of decent one.
>mechanics
Finding games with actual gameplay is tough. Sometimes I take a day to look for them, most in the market are linear porn with extra steps.

For some lewd your best try is with popular games + lewd mods.
There are very few porn-crpg, and adding extra requirements makes it harder to find specific things.
It probably exists but I would be surprised if you find it.

sex appeal is one of shinjis stats you can raise lol
>>
Okay so i played the shinji raising game, and half way through the classes and shit just stop giving stats. I was on the alternate path that deviates from the show with a beach episode and sports festival episode, but i must not have raised shinji good enough because it merged back into the original eva plot with the only difference at the end being asuka being replaced with mana, the girl from a previous spin off game that cucks asuka, there she was a rival organizations pilot, here she's just the music class girl
>>
>>4070477
Imagine not making your Shinji the most fuckable
>>
>>4070700
Having sex appeal higher than morals fucks shinji up sadlly and reduces stat gains from classes to basically nothing, and you'll constantly get the 3 same events of him looking at mags or misato sexually harrassing him and get the chance to scold him to raise moral and lower sex appeal. Basically its similar to princess maker's charm/appeal and how having it higher morals can cause olive to go off the rails and take bribes to be someones mistress

I really love (sarcasm) how weebs discovered this obscure game series that sold maybe tens of thousands of copies in the West, fewer copies than even niche CRPG's at the time, the first of which didn't even have a Western release, and now loves to masquerade around how amazing and influential these dogshit games were.

Keep posturing
>>
>>4071271
What am I posturing? Please, enlighten me.

I tried this in early access and never kept going past the first dungeon. I picked it up recently and it has quickly become my current favorite game. I've been playing skyrim for a decade maybe and thought if I had to hear jarl balgruuf talk about a dragon one more time I'll go insane. Let me just say this is the perfect replacement (though not a perfect game). But it is not some mere "indie skyrim clone" but its own unique thing with a lot to appreciate.

I'll start with the bad
>expected amount of jank from an indie title, nothing totally gamebreaking though
>hitboxes can be iffy, or enemies get caught on terrain
>others have reported minor questlines being broken and require reloading a save

The average
>the writing is generally fine, the Arthur lore is interesting, but has some poorer dialogue in places
>graphics aren't exactly next gen
>a few minor details are blatant ES copies like starting in a dungeon and the lockpicking minigame
>quests are not strictly linear, there's usually a couple options on how to complete them, but don't expect total freeform
>combat is not incredibly difficult, but you encounter several major difficulty spikes, but it's relatively simple to overcome those with upgrading gear

Doing a King Arthur fantasy RPG but being afraid to include any references to Christianity was always a doomed prospect.
