I think I’d be pretty screwed. I’d most likely be living in some remote, forgotten village, trying to eke out enough of a living to pay the local lord for the privilege, while trying to avoid my home being raided by Aiel, or Seanchan, or Dragonsworn, or one of the other dozen armies roaming the countryside. Or maybe I’d be serving in one of those armies, fodder for the front lines, going up against enemies with no qualms about using the One Power for killing.
There’s a tiny, remote chance that I could be studying in one of the schools in Cairhien or Caemlyn, trying to push technology out of the dark ages, which would be pretty cool. But that still comes with the risk of being a target of Darkfriends and the Forsaken, which is less cool.

The wheel weaves as the wheel wills.
LOTR. Entirely depends on when and where I show up
Congratulations, you’re born as a mighty Uruk-Hai warrior! In the distance you hear trees yelling
You’re a ring on a chain around the neck of a Hobbit.
Well then it’ll take divine intervention to kill me
… as Shelobs sex-slave hopefully …
Dark Souls/Elden Ring
It’s not like I can die so it’s not that bad. It’s worse.
Elden Ring is the world that is entirely devoid of hope, where many golden eras are all long past like millennia ago. There maybe another golden era coming, but it could just be a gilded age.
Melina has hope, and gives reasons for it if you talk to her down near the three fingers but before you interact with them. There’s just no hope of the status quo ever being fixed.
Melina had hopes on Miquella. Ranni had hopes on the stars. Each of the holder of an Elden Ring shard had a vision. Yet that was the precise reason for the current situation. Sure, their heart might have been in the right place, their hopes might have been just, but their methods were not. Hence, the lack of hope for regular denizens of that world.
FromSoft fans who have been around since Kingfield in the late 90s: “always has been” (because from hit gold with the old and decaying fantasy world with dwindling hope in its inhabitants atmospheric vibe and keep reusing it)
I would totally retire to Majula, pet the kitty, befriend the blacksmiths daughter.
It’s nice to see how many of yall are quick with whatever your favorite fictional universe is…
I have never put much thought into one I’d deem as a favorite. I like a lot of games, shows, books, and such… But I don’t think I’d be able to pick just one.
Multiverse it is.
Crucially, you don’t automatically get to travel the multiverse. You just know it exists now.

Yeah, but… Might get a shot at Rosamund Pike.

Pokemon seems awful
Ever present terrorism, most towns don’t have food
Animal attacks are more common and dangerous
If you take them at face value and not as a gamified abstraction, sure. “Pallet Town” having three buildings is unlivable but it isn’t shown that way in non-game media.
The organized crime is rough but that usually gets sorted out by a child at some point so just keep your head down.
Ever present terrorism
No one said you couldn’t join them
I guess I hate ugly people enough to join Flare
These terrorist organizations are at least nice enough to let you attempt to capture a relatively weak pikachu for over a decade. My boss gets mad if I go over my 15 minute coffee break.
Not up to date on pokemon lore by a longshot but iirc Jessey and James are actually just nice people who really like pokemon and do their jobs badly on purpose.
That doesn’t sound that bad
Humm, I have a few universes that I like…
Deathworlders universe:
Aliens exist and they are terrified of us, we calm them down a bit, one faction destroy earth, but we have allies and two other planets, alien medicine that make us healthy and cool tech, sounds allright…D’ni universe:
Magic is semi real, we can write links to physical worlds and travel there instantly, sounds bloody brilliant…Forza Horizon:
Immortality, fast cars that never breaks down or need fuel, several big houses vast garages, yeah, I can see that being fun…Fallout universe: Nuclear post-apocalyptic wasteland or cramped insane vaults, nah, hard pass.
Deathworlders universe
Downright feudal at the end, though! Just gotta hope you’re a rich/lucky landowner.
I’m not certain if I’d be more fucked in Factorio, The Elder Scrolls, Terraria,.or Stardew Valley. I’d be fucked either way though since I assume I’d be a rando off screen, and not the main character
It’s pretty safe to be an NPC in thr Elder Scrolls as long as you aren’t important or interesting and you’re polite to adventurers.
I held off the dragons till I did everything else because I got so annoyed with them killing townspeople in Skyrim.
Morrowind taught me to take over some asshole dark elf’s house in Seyda Neen, and powelevel all my skills to 100 before I left the first town so that a random cliff racer, or kwarma forager didn’t take out me and any random NPC around me.
Oblivion, beeline to Anvil, buy the house, and again just max out all my skills. Mostly so that the random encounters didn’t kill me. I don’t remember having issues keeping NPCs alive in that one.
I’m entirely uncertain that any of us normal non magicka wielding randos would survive long in any of the most interesting times of mundus.
likewise, as soon as the vampires show up i gotta finish their quest because they keep eating my peeps
Yeah something like the Oblivion Crisis would be tough on the commoners. But if I could just chill in Vivec City or even Whiterun for most of history it’s pretty safe.
Stardew you’d at least be fucked in the good way. I mean, just look at Mayor Louis and Marnie
Because of your username, are you familiar with Derail Valley Simulator? It’s an excellent locomotive simulator.
Oh absolutely! I’ve logged a few too many hours in Derail Valley. It’s very fun for when I just want to hop on and drive some trains, although it doesn’t really scratch the “I want to play with trains from $SpecificLocale during $SpecificTimeframe” Itch that simulators like Trainz do, where you can for example drive a Metra commuter train from Harvard into Chicago, or jump to Germany and drive the ICE or switch freight wagons in post-grouping Britain, or drive local freights through rural Australia
what are your thoughts on Abigail?
Who doesn’t love Abigail? My wife and I came within a hair of naming our first child Abigail but ultimately chose a different name
He must be grateful for that decision.
her diet lacks minerals
Nope. You’d most likely be stuck in the city the player escaped from, or the war that Jodi’s hubby is in in the first year.
Star Trek? Hell yeah. The Borg might be a small problem and the Klingon, but no cooking, no cleaning, no need for money.
I am confident we will get there. Have faith.
I don’t know. It seems that it is going towards the Star Wars universe though.
Of the heart?
I consider the Borg to be a goal, not a problem.
I am introvert. I cannot even imagine having people mind connected 🤣
You will no longer be an introvert. Your conscious will meld with ours. There will be no you, only us.
Well i hope that us, will be more practical and less talkative, because my mind will melt or explode, if the women will talk as much as today.
And on that day the collective adsorbed so much crippling anxiety that it never left its cube again and the threat was forever vanquished.
no cooking
Being turned into a Gorn breeding sack? Kinda into it
SCP fan. I’m fucked.
Oh dude. I hadn’t even considered SCP. At least you might meet Alan Wake. Never played the games, but I assume he’s an interesting guy if he lives in that universe, and has survived multiple games.
I haven’t played the games either, tbh I didn’t even know there were games.
I’ve been reading SCP’s for probably over 15 years now though, with varying levels of obsession with it during that time. There is so much lore and interconnectedness now, seeing it grow from just a few stories was incredible.
I actually didn’t know there were this many. I’ve read a lot of the SCPs, but the organization deciding that they needed to kill everyone just kinda killed the universe for me.
https://containmentbreach.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_Notable_SCP_games
I just happened to find out that Allen Wake is set in that universe because of some article that I read in the last couple years.
I mean, that explicitly didn’t end up happening though, that reality got reset. The chilling part is the implication that that’s a very bad thing.
Wasn’t aware of that part. Good Lord. I am beginning to suspect that SCP lore may be a magnitude of order larger than TES lore.
We’re talking about SCP-5000 Absolute Exclusion Harness right? That’s the main famous SCP where the foundation starts trying to exterminate humanity. But yeah, it’s all told through digital archives onboard a wearable device that renders the wearer completely safe from basically reality as a whole that just appeared and tells of a chilling alternate reality where the foundation starts exterminating mankind and it is implied that the wearer ends up using the suit to survive and then “reset reality” using some other SCPs and that reset reality where that all never happened is the reality the rest of the SCP Foundation we know exists. The Harness is the only thing left as it is shielded fully from basically anything.
Check out Alan Wake, Alan Wake II, and Control, all by Remedy Entertainment. They’re not directly SCP, but they’re adjacent/parallel to it.
I’d probably be all right, Tyria looks nice this time of year. At least as long as the Charr play along.
You’re now in the middle of the brand.
Springfield here I come
Just don’t kick a giant mouse in the butt and you’ll be fine. Otherwise, you’ll become a political prisoner.
…NieR.
So either I die rather quickly or live in a world of lasting sorrow and decay with short bursts of beauty doomed to fail. But at least I can be philosophical about it, right?
Glorious android ass.
There is one animated meme making the rounds now, posing the question on whether viewers would want a bucolic near-communist solarpunk future where everyone is happy and has their needs met, or a 40k future of massive mechs that can level entire cities on their own.
I say: why not both?
Crunchy outer shell of 40k that is just enough for a healthy defence of humanity, 90+% gooey solarpunk interior that gives everyone else a psychologically healthy and comfortable life.
Oof. After the bombshell in the most recent Bobiverse book, sort of fucked in a few thousand years. But I’m sure the Bobs will sort it out.
I haven’t read it yet, but I want to get to it soon
It’s a bit silly, but such a fun series. Wish I could live in that world.
