  • I usually have a good time with isometric fantasy rpgs in the vein of Baldur’s Gate. They don’t really have grind, the world is generally well-filled with a relatively dense story and interesting quests (denser than Skyrim at least), and if the game becomes too hard you can turn down the difficulty. Though you do need to actually be interested in the combat mechanics (which are much more complicated than e.g. in Elder Scrolls games) to really enjoy these games, IMO. One downside is that these types of games are usually really long; I’ve dropped a couple of them halfway because they overstayed their welcome.

    Some examples:

    • Baldur’s Gate 3 (don’t really need to have played 1+2 to enjoy this one, though they’re still very good)

    • Divinity: Original Sin 1+2

    • Pillars of Eternity 1+2 (2 has much better combat, but the first one is pretty important to understand the world)

    • Tyranny (this is a relatively short one)

    • Pathfinder: Kingmaker 1+2

    For more Skyrim-style games, I really enjoyed the Gothic series. I think their level of grind is about the same as Skyrim (probably a little less, but it’s been a while), and if you can get past the outdated graphics of the early titles they’re quite fun. Especially the dialogues, they aren’t as serious as Skyrim’s.


  • The thing is that for most men, it’s not voluntary when they don’t ‘lose their v-card’ for a long time, it’s that they can’t find a partner. Someone who never managed to find a partner despite trying typically doesn’t exactly feel like a winner, so they tend to at least somewhat agree with the popular sentiment that older virgins are ‘losers’.

    It’s true that this isn’t really other people’s business, especially not if they’re only using it to put people down instead of trying to improve things. Though this is certainly an issue on a societal level.
