![]() You don’t distribute skill points by leveling up your character. While a skeleton is immune to weather effects it cannot heal itself but has to repair itself. You choose of 4 or 5 different races and then a subrace. There are factions! (Haven’t played in a long time so I can’t say much.) Your choices and your character built do matter. Similar to Bloodlines when it comes to graphics and clunkiness. Unfortunately the game had and has a lot of issues and the different skills are not as balanced as to warrant all possible roles equal. Distributing skill points will help you further in carving out the role you want to play. There is a story and it also reacts to your clan role. You choose one of seven playable clans and with your choice come very distinctive abilities and limitations. The game is definitively worth a look though! There are factions! Since the game is quite „eurojanky“ I cannot say for sure if the openness to different approaches is so by design or by accident. You have to choose how you want to play it and then stick with it.

Incredibly good game with stunning graphics and a very engaging, sometimes very funny story. (see Avartis quotation in the beginning.)

I’ve commented only on those games that I have played myself, the rest is just listed and I can’t say for sure if you can actually roleplay. Old games from the 1990s or even older are mostly excluded since I have stated that I do not want graphics that make my eyes hurt. What follows is a briefly annotated list of games that were suggested here and that fit the above definition.
