This is btw. what I hate with so many modern RPGs, you are a nobody but within 5 minutes of playing you are already extremely awesome and look like a shiny knight on a white horse.

Let me run around with a rock and a stick for the first hour. Then give me a sword that looks cheap but I will cherish it. Then take it away. Let me earn it when I am awesome in the end.

To many games treat you like a toddler that wants shiny things. Yeah I want shiny things, but I want them when I deserved them. Similarily, yeah, I want powerful heros, but they have to earn it as well.



Check out FromSoft games. EldenRing drops loot and equipment so rarely it drove me up a well.


Check out the Kingdom Come Deliverance series.

Sure, you'll be a badass at the end, but you're going to earn it. :)
