Hey folks, I’m on the hunt for some RPGs that have that captivating city vibe similar to the hustle and bustle of the Imperial City in Oblivion or Rabanastre from Final Fantasy XII. I love the feeling of being an adventurer wandering through cities that feel alive and genuinely designed, where the atmosphere pulls you right in regardless of the gameplay mechanics. Got any recommendations?

You should check out Cyberpunk 2077 if you’re open to a futuristic twist. The cityscape of Night City is vast and it feels realistically alive, offering loads of exploration options. But if you’re hunting for that medieval fantasy angle, I’d steer more towards Kingdom Come or maybe Dragon’s Dogma.
Have you tried Kingdom Come: Deliverance? The game is really immersive and delivers a detailed medieval experience that you might dig. The towns feel genuinely alive and are quite historically accurate, giving that Oblivion vibe. It’s worth getting into before the sequel drops. Plus, it introduces a nuanced skill grind, which can add to the immersion if you’re up for it.
I wholeheartedly agree! I’ve spent countless hours in this game. Despite never finishing it (I’m blaming my lack of skills), it’s a fantastic experience. The sequel can’t come soon enough!
If you want cities with character and decent size, maybe explore Assassin’s Creed Origins, Odyssey, or Valhalla. They offer solid city-building in historical settings, even if they lean more action-adventure than strict RPG.
Yakuza: Like a Dragon could be an interesting choice for you. It takes place in a realistic portrayal of Japanese cities and blends traditional RPG elements with Yakuza-esque flair. If you’re into urban adventures with a unique spin, this might scratch the itch.
I’m with you on that! The life-like city environments really make the exploration feel engaging. If you haven’t explored Japan with Ichiban yet, it’s definitely worth a journey.
Might wanna give Dragon’s Dogma a look! It’s got a couple of intriguing cities and packs a good atmosphere. Plus, Dragon’s Dogma 2 is on the horizon, so it’s a perfect time to dive into the original if you haven’t already.
Totally! Dragon’s Dogma has that adventurer’s charm with its cities. Definitely worth experiencing before the sequel hits.
Cyberpunk’s city is indeed impressive! Although if you’re in the mood for something more medieval, sticking to traditional fantasy settings might be best.
