It’s a bitter sweet feeling afterward, but I love it when a game has characters where, after the game is over, I miss seeing a part of their lives. Be it due to the characters themselves or the interaction they have with one another, exiting their world feels more like a loss than when normally putting a story away.

Are there any games where you experienced similar? While it can be a bitter sweet feeling, I know that it is a sign that I really enjoyed what I was playing and love to find these experiences.

    I remember the first time I completed RimWorld. Kept all three OG colonists alive. Two of them got married. The husband was an old farmer, had dementia, bad back, and was eventually bedridden for a long time. His wife was a doctor and she’d visit the hospital everyday to check up on him. The third colonist, Oneesan, became a Countess and was so full of herself that she never worked. She spent her entire day meditating in her throne room.

    Also shoutout to Tracker, a recruited waster, who did some of the craziest shit like single handedly stopping a siege with a sniper rifle, and breaking up a fight between us, mechanoids, and pirates with a rocket launcher.
