Useless rpgs recs. Rpgs where you can recruit characters as companions! (part 3/3)

Complete list under cut.

Also I only added western rpgs, as people told me that the majority of jrpgs have companions (great companions!) so doing a rec lists of jrpgs with companions would be quite long.

Dragon Age Origins = You can choose between seven companions and a dog. They all have small personal quests and some of them are deeply involved in the game’s plot. Also there’s romance and an approval system! Dragon Age II = companions are the heart of this game! 5/6 companions in total, romance and personal quests in every act. Dragon Age Inquisition = Nine companions in total, each one with their own personal quest. As in previous games: romance, approval/disapproval. *Expeditions: Conquistador = 11 or more possible companions Shadowrun Returns = the companions only follow you in combats, and if I remember correctly, not in all combats. In the next games you can control your companions a bit better! Shadowrun Dragonfall = In this game you have about 7 companions in total, 4 of them in combat as well and with their own personal story and quest Shadowrun Hong Kong = 5 companions, like in the previous game, they have extensive dialogues and personal quests and opinions. *The Waylanders = A new upcoming game! Tower of Time = You technically are not with your team but oversee them from afar, while the seven heroes explore the tower and interact with each others (and you, sometimes).  *Jade Empire = if I am not wrong you can recruit and interact with 11 different followers Planescape Torment = you can recruit and interact with 7 companions. They have interactions with each others as well and can disapprove of your choices. *Hard West = if I am not wrong, there are different male and female companions that can join you, but I cannot seem to find them online, so I’ll add the info after I’ll play the game *The Technomancer = you can recruit 7 companions, and improve your relationships with them through choices! *Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic = 1 and 2 both have recruitable companions! *Wasteland 2 = you can choose between ~18 recruits! *Expeditions Viking = 6 recruitable characters and romance as well.

Recently started playing both Hard West, and Weird West. I put a couple hours into Hard West, and while it plays pretty good, the writing kinda sucks, and the episodic story telling where all my cool stuff goes away as a reward for winning is not my favorite thing. I know that some RTS (i think) kind of games are known for that but it's not my bag.

Weird West is, as a whole, maybe a little less competent, technically, but a way better game to me. Still isometric, still episodic, but a huge improvement is that you can get your STUFF back by recruiting the characters from previous stories, and some improvements roll over too. It's one long narrative, and I get the vibe that the devs really like Pathologic, the writing is still kinda hokey, but the pulpy design makes that way more charming than Hard West's Grimdark Scowl.

The controls are mapped seemingly intended for controller, but you can use the Keyboard and Mouse. Pick whatever one you like cause they're both terrible. I mentioned the unlocked skills earlier, but I don't really use them, and that's because you have to open two menus and hit a selection button to activate them, all in the middle of combat. I almost die any time i try to use them. Going to town sucks cause there's only one that has all the stores and crafts people you need, so get used to crossing the entire map every time your tiny inventory fills up. Fights are hectic and painful. At some point I got an ability that slows down time when I dodge, so I can fire guns while jumping through the air (hell yeah), and that's basically how I fight now cause aiming is so impossibly difficult otherwise. It's also the only skill that you can use without the double menu thing, ALTHOUGH, it uses your skill meter, so you can only do it 5 times before you have to start scrambling, or drink a potion that fills it.

Janky as it is, though, the game WORKS and is still very fun to play. I think I'm about halfway through unless it speeds up a lot, and ~20hrs in.

10 Best Wild West-Themed Video Games

The Wild West is one of the most beloved themes out there, and these are the best games set in it.

It was only natural that this iconic Wild West charm bled into video games as well, and game developers started to pick the West as the setting of their game and a cowboy as the game’s protagonist. Here are a few of the best Western games that are guaranteed to put you in the sweaty boots of a gritty cowboy to truly make you feel the air of the Wild West.
