Assuming I'm just another NPC, here's one that always has always allured me:
Mass Effect: Andromeda
(Primarily because I'd prefer to not be obliterated completely in ME 1, 2 and 3 lmao)
There's one thing that has always gotten me lying awake at night, staring at the dark roof, thinking this one thing.
"What is out there?"
Fortunately, this game helps me to answer that very question, in all the best ways!
The game is set in 2819, after a 600-year cyro journey upon the Ark Hyperion to a new cluster called the "Heleus" cluster. There's quite a bit of plot to the whole game, but to sum it up, there's an entire new cluster with now-new technology of all sorts. Just imagine being the first person to set foot (hand and eye) upon all of it!
I'm sure this will take up easily the majority of my year spent in a video game!
But this is only just the start! There's an entire new galaxy for me to explore!
I'd be going along and exploring each and every single hospitable planet, seeing every single sight that might pique my interest.. I mean, just look at these planets!
The one on the left is Aladeen, a desert planet with large rich mineral deposits. The one on the right is Kadara, a haven for criminals... and the middle one is the place I'd spend all my time upon... Havarl.
It's a beautiful place that the alien race Angara, consider to be their ancestral homeworld, and within all the old ruins, lies ancient histories just waiting to be unlocked. I'd love to spend all that time finding out more and more about the lives of those beyond our reach! The only problem is that everything there is genetically mutated and tends to try to kill you... so I wouldn't stick around too long without a tour guide.
Now something that I noticed quite a bit whilst roaming around the massive markets (That 100% isn't just 3 vendors) of the Nexus is the complete lack of Remnant technology, or if it is being sold, it's at an exorbitant price. How I'd thrive? The answer is right there: Remnant tech baby! I'd be venturing and peering into every nook and cranny to see the fantastic technology left over from the ancient civilizations and claim it before everyone else does, as it appears that nobody else has done that from fear. But after the first vault was opened, everything became a lot safer. Literal goldmines just waiting to be tapped into to!
After bringing in massive hauls of Remnant technology, I'd find a nice small enormous lovely place on the Nexus to reside, and have my own apartment. (What a crazy idea, a home of my own?) From there, I'd enjoy the lovely pleasures of out-of-this-world experiences. Dishes and cuisine? Absolutely. Friendships from people of all walks of life? Even better. There's an entirely new world there, and the oyster has become even bigger!
And if that becomes too dangerous, I can always just sign up as part of the "Initiative" as they supply free housing, food and payment, and I don't ever see them do any work! Sounds like a steal!
It's straight freedom in an entirely new galaxy.... what more could anyone ever want?
