Wrpgs are bad games and it is unfortunate so many feel compelled to play them due to wanting to support western culture.
Every wrpg is the same. It has a barebones main plot. Sometimes it might have some decent effort into the plot but it always takes the back seat. This is because the main focus of the wrpg is alwàys the side quests. The side quests fill up the majority of your playtime when playing a wrpg. A typical example of what most wrpgs look like is skyrim or witcher 3. You have your main quest to move the story forward, but you are expected to space out playing the main quest by doing many side quests. These side quests are usually not related to the main plot at all and just consist usually of a random npc needing something done for them. Thus, you have your mercenary simulator.
Whether it needs to be collected bear pelts or raiding a bandit camp to get a family heirloom back. The wrpg is going to have you spending most of your time solving every mundane issue that the towns folk has.
What this ends up looking like from a story perspective is the main character having to save the world, but he keeps meandering around doing chores for random people as the terrible evil he is supposed to stop is approaching.

You can tell OP is an incel because he assumes people like things based on their desire to "support western culture"
How do I avoid supporting western culture while living in the west, OP?
learn from your Black gods and get on welfare

What the FRICK is this schizo shit? You ever played a jarpig before?
They ALL have side quests that work like this.
Lol. Name literally one jrpg from the snes that did that

op will ignore this because his stepdad is black
I would be ok with a low stakes rpg where you are just an adventurer doing regular adventure stuff, but almost every game has to shove in a plot about a world-ending threat somehow
Yeah, it's annoying how every game has to scale up so exponentially. Start at low or high stakes and keep it within that ballpark.
>The wrpg is going to have you spending most of your time solving every mundane issue that the towns folk has.
Once you grow up to be a man who supports his loved ones and community, you too will have your fair share of mundane tasks.
But you're playing a wandering vagabond, not my heckin' epic pillar of the community. Also those things don't exist anymore.
You're right OP, its strange how RPGs are about doing odd/freelance jobs for exposure in order to kill the most ultimate evil lmao
WRPGs are top soul. Seethe while I replay MM6 with my red haired chadknight.
You conniving jarpig pleb, I spit on you.
I love just being a merc going around doing dirty work in games. That shit gets me stiff as a board.
Pool of Radiance is great for this. No giant "save the world" plot, just "you've been hired to help take back this city, section by section, and then you kill the creature orchestrating it at the end, becoming local heroes.
Pool of Radiance is the first part of a 4-part series. After you take back Phlan, you do go to save the world, and again, and again because Bane is a greater god who doesn't like his shit pushed in.
Being able to ignore the main quest is what makes a RPG good. I don't care about the world ending plot the devs added just to market the game to the brainlets that care about "plot in story" in their games, i just want to build a cool character and resolve quests however i want.
You've been brainwashed by shit like Skyrim if you think so. Ignoring the main quest means that it's shit, because nobody ignores good content. Nobody ignores new Vegas' main quest to LARP around. Nobody ignores Fallout 1 and 2's main quests. Because, again, nobody with a brain ignores good content. The main quest has to be the main drive to give a frick about what happens in the world.
Nobody ignores Fallout 1 and 2's main quest because you insta lose if you dick around too much, to be fair
>Nobody ignores new Vegas' main quest to LARP around.
lol
>The main quest has to be the main drive to give a frick about what happens in the world.
Main quest is completely irrelevant storyhomosexualry that gets in the way of roleplaying. Trve RPGs like M&B, Kenshi or CK2 don't even have a main quest.
>Trve RPGs like M&B, Kenshi or CK2 don't even have a main quest.
>all shitty aimless mercenary simulators
Bravo.
>Ignoring the main quest means that it's shit, because nobody ignores good content
That depends if the main quest is a major part of the game or even any good at all. Morrowind's main quest is great, Skyrim's? not so much
WRPGs are trash and so are westaboo JP games. Board is full of codex rejects and ironic weebs.
Did you type all that while dilating? Impressive, very nice.
I can smell his stinkditch all the way here in Europe.

>Wrpgs are all just mercenary simulators
There's some truth to this and I don't mind. If anything I'd like an RPG where you don't have any of that chosen one/fighting god/whatever stuff. Kind of like Warband, but without all that Warband shit.
>Thus, you have your mercenary simulator.
Yes. Thats what makes rpgs good.
