You will never go on a vidya adventure for real. You will never leave your quaint village on a grand quest, not knowing if you'll ever return. You will never explore a fantasy world brimming with good feels and wanderlust. You will never team up with a rag-tag party and form bonds that last a lifetime. You will never delve deep into ancient ruins and discover mythical artifacts lost to time. You will never settle down in a comfy village by the meadows with your new companions, living happily with the tales of your deeds being told in the taverns, becoming myths in their own right long past your days end.

Video games are real.
full dive will fix it
I did this in elden ring a bunch of times.
But I'll always be the most important person in the universe. I have to be. I'm me.
What do Turgon and Gondolin have to do with this?
You’re a frogfag and your mother wishes she aborted you
I had hoped Dragon's Dogma 2 would provide these feels, but damn the open world was so bland. Tiny selection of enemies spammed over and over every 20 meters, and hardly anything good to find via exploration. You just buy the good gear in each regions shop.
Shame because the pawn/party system is really good, as is the core combat, but the world you make use of those systems in sucks ass.
hate to break it to you but Rivendell isn't real
dragons dogma 2
filled with trannies and ratmen
it's called Kingdome Come: Deliverance I & II
not fantasy, very little dungeon crawl'n.
Their systemic/sandboxy gameplay design basically picks up were TES left off however, so I do think if the devs took the KCD mechanics and plopped it in a fantasy world with a character creator and different combat system, it would be extremely successful.
You will never be southern Spanish.
Come to think of it there really isn't a 3D game with the typical fantasy RPG set up like classic D&D. It's just shit turn-based RPGs or self-insistent garbage like Elder Scrolls. You can't just be in a complex world but have a humble story.
You can always do shit like this though

Until your money runs out and then you have to wash dishes for 500 hours to get enough for like two weeks of traveling.
Those of us who have been true readers all our life seldom fully realize the enormous extension of our being which we owe to authors. We realize it best when we talk with an unliterary friend. He may be full of goodness and good sense but he inhabits a tiny world. In it, we should be suffocated. The man who is contented to be only himself, and therefore less a self, is in prison. My own eyes are not enough for me, I will see through the eyes of others. Reality, even seen through the eyes of many, is not enough. I will see what others have invented. Even the eyes of all humanity are not enough. I regret that the brutes cannot write books. Very gladly would I learn what face things present to a mouse or a bee; more gladly still would I perceive the olfactory world charged with all the information and emotion it carries for a dog.
Literary experience heals the wound, without undermining the privilege, of individuality. There are mass emotions which heal the wound; but they destroy the privilege. In them our separate selves are pooled and we sink back into sub-individuality. But in reading great literature I become a thousand men and yet remain myself. Like the night sky in the Greek poem, I see with a myriad eyes, but it is still I who see. Here, as in worship, in love, in moral action, in knowing, I transcend myself; and am never more myself than when I do.
Save up money, buy a bicycle and a tent, and then go cycle across the globe. You can literally do all the things you describe.
What? You only need the ticket, it's like what, 700 bucks round trip? You can rent most of the equipment like canoes, and food is cheap.
It's less that what anons spend on steam in a year. You of course don't need expensive cameras if you are going on your own.
Aztec, Maya, and a little bit further, the Incas, so much untapped potential.
Hell, the only Olmec thing we've got is in Wind Waker of all things.

You're right, I've never jumped into a quest (started an mmo) with a strange new group of allies (a guild) and made lasting bonds through our shared trials (buddies I still play games with years later) that would lead us to further adventures (games I played with said buddies). Truly everything that has to do with videogaems is meaningless and there's nothing worthwhile you can ever get from it.
should I be worried that I kinda get like half of this?
But people will get mad at my katana. I want to be a FUCKING RONIN REEEEEE
Well there are some games who get some aspects right
TES
Bg3
Elden ring
Kcd
Rdr2
Dragon's doogma
AC rpg trilogy
I would be deeply concerned if you didn't, I do recommend reading CS Lewis essays like The Discarded Image or The Four Loves, or this one, The Seeing Eye.
There is nothing stopping you from forming a group, and setting off into the African anarchy zone, in search of treasures.
good.
Fuck off. You're a female if you like traveling
I already went to some countries, the last one being Argentina and I was bored out of my mind. People that say you can "explore" and "level up" irl are tards

That's normie speak for "have hopefully consequence free sex with strangers"
And you will never be a woman
Customs, interpol, CIA, UN, more international aid companies than I really care to name. This sort of thing makes you a international fugitive instantly unless you're dark as the night, and in a disguise 24/7.
The closest thing is doing some pmc work in approved nations after spending time in the military, which is mainly picking up some rich guy.
MMOs are not immersive by default, they're like an elaborate version of Risk, just a social game for shooting the shit
Spelunky and Kirby Super Star's Great Cave Offensive both have Olmec stuff in them both in aesthetics and the final boss
Where's the quaint starting village
I have done analogues to all these things
Left my shitty plant town that smelled like warm farts to a land unknown, teamed up with some badass people with a few shitheads and turncoats along the way, found lost knowledge in deep hazes, and there are stories told about me and I'm near the people I love.
Life is about perspective, everyday's a fucking adventure, man, go play it!
