I’ve been working really hard on a big project, I finally finished it, and now I’m bored. I want to play an RPG where I can slaughter hordes of enemies as a pretty girl who looks like me. Yes, I want self-indulgent trash. I’m tired of trying at things, I want to relax, kill things, and see boobs. No MMOs please, I want a good rate of progression. Indie games preferred.

Games like what I’m looking for:

  • Prey (2017)
  • Carrion
  • Skyrim
  • Borderlands
  • Vermintide
  • Hades (But I want to play as a girl)

    It’s… probably not what you’re looking for but I’ll throw Warframe into the ring just in case. It’s technically an MMO I think? And not exactly a traditional RPG progression either. There are definitely boobs, but your character won’t look like you

    Tap for spoiler

    until you progress through a sufficient quantity of the main story, and even then still not part of your standard gameplay.

    But it checks the slaughtering hordes of enemy box. Power Fantasy is turned on day one I think

      Is Warframe still nice to start out with in 2025? I remember installing it a while back and being overwhelmed by the amount of info and options and not really knowing how to simply progress the story in the original way.

        it definitely still can be, the devs have been putting a lot of work into streamlining and improving the new player experience, so a lot of the overwhelming options are still available but more things are trying to point you forward. All of the main story quests are separated out in your codex now with their unlock requirements, otherwise the advice I have always heard is: explore the star chart and unlock new planets. Which will never let you down if you’re feeling lost

      I love Warframe, but I don’t like how it steals focus during loading screens. I’m kinda pissed off at it. I need a better window manager before I can get back into Warframe

    It’s not an RPG but how about Lollipop Chainsaw?

    It has hordes of enemies you can slaughter (which provides a certain kind of relaxation, to be fair) as a pretty girl who possibly looks like you maybe, and you can see boobs.

    I never actually played the game (although I’m interested in playing it) but it was the first thing that popped into my mind.

    How important is being an RPG in this case? (as I note only a couple of your examples are in that genre)

    The below suggestions are not RPGs, but I think fit your request.

    It’s a survival game, but Conan Exiles ticks a lot of those boxes once you get a bit geared (which doesn’t take super long), and it can be played single player. Just have to be okay with some janky experiences.

    I will also note that you are a girl in Hades 2.

    Sifu is another one you might enjoy, though bosses certainly are a challenge.

    Bayonetta is probably the most pure example of a horde-fighting action game with a sexy female witch protagonist. Lollipop Chainsaw is there too, for more of an airhead protagonist. Darksiders 3 could fit the bill as well.

      Sifu has girl? I got that for free on Epic. I was looking at it yesterday but decided not to check if the guy on the box is the only player character. Thanks!

    BG3 is pretty good for that to be honest - good character customization, there’s a learning curve to be sure so its not a power fantasy until you get past that.

      I thought about doing a D:OS2 replay, but the combat in that is too slow, and I don’t want to rely on a party. I heard Baldur’s Gate plays a lot like Divinity?

        In a sense, yeah. BG3 can be much slower, and you do still have to rely on a party, though I only played DOS1.

    There are lots of new Skyrim mods since the last time you played it. Even if that was only last week.

    Idk what you look like to narrow down the recommendations. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    I will say that despite all the negative shit I’ve heard about Forspoken, I think the combat and traversal systems are super fun and the stupid bracelet is vastly more annoying than the protagonist. The game is literally “girl boss power fantasy” too.

    Elderborn is an indie first person “metal AF slasher.” I guess it could be considered souls like. but you can be a lady barbarian thwacking skeletons with a hammer. Well theres a bunch of weapons but hammer rules. Id say its a tough game but not all that hard.

    Theres a kick mechanic where you can boot an enemy over a ledge. Landing one of those is just about the most satisfying thing for me.

      Hmmm, I only want to play it when it’s done. I really loved Hades 1, I want to get the full intended experience, no spoilers.

    While it’s not indie: Cyberpunk 2077?

    You can make your character as pretty as you please (though, no “sex appeal” -slider like in Saint’s Row :D). Also, no 3rd person camera, so you’d only see your character in inventory screen. Otherwise there’s bit of boobies to be seen - and massive amounts if you so choose with modding.

    Difficultywise it’ll cater to very casual approach, but the game does the “bethesda-thing” where you will end up as destroyer of worlds regardless of difficulty.

    edit: btw, you might want to specify your platform? No modding for cyberpunk on consoles as of yet, I just assumed PC here.

        regarding OP, kinda bummer that the bike bug which lead to nude A-posing when riding a bike was fixed.

        I did goof with it when it was still a thing:

      Sorry, CDPR is too close to the companies they’re trying to satirise in the game. Satire isn’t funny when it’s hypocritical. After that cosplay contest, I’m never giving Projekt Red a cent.

          One of the finalists was a cis woman who pretended to be trans. She put a glowstick in her pants to cosplay the Chromanticore model. CDPR decided to reward that with a feature on their Twitter.

          I’d rather not wade into the larger “CDPR is transphobic” debate, but here’s an article from Polygon from a few years ago detailing some stuff, including the cosplay contest controversy:

          https://www.polygon.com/2020/12/4/22058784/cyberpunk-2077-marketing-cd-projekt-red-transphobia

          To save you from reading the whole thing, basically, during the run-up to Cyberpunk’s release, CDPR got very… edgelord with their marketing.

          One of the more controversial pieces of marketing was an in-universe poster advertising a drink called “Mix It Up”, which depicts what appears to be a trans woman in a highly sexualized manner.

          They then organized a cosplay contest for further marketing and that resulted in another controversy related to the poster, wherein a cisgender woman cosplayed as the depicted trans woman, CDPR made it one of the finalists in the contest, and it predictably led to outcry for being tone-deaf at best, malicious at worst.

          The larger issues with the poster itself (and CDPR as a whole) are in the article, but the cosplay thing really comes down to this bit in the article:

          CDPR also included a cisgender cosplayer as the Mix It Up girl among their cosplay contest finalists. Even if you buy the company line that the poster represents how queer bodies have been appropriated for marketing, their entire argument is negated when they have a cis person dress up in that queer body as part of their own video game marketing.

          If you’re thinking perhaps the model was well-meaning, attempting to create a trans-positive cosplay, trying to further highlight queer commodification CDPR spoke of originally, or just a misguided ally who got it wrong this time around, I have bad (yet predictable) news for you. Yugoro Forge, the cosplayer in question, tweeted that her costumes are “beyond politics,” and when pushed on the fact her Cyberpunk 2077 costume dehumanized trans people who are already subject to violence so frequently, she replied, “many cis men and women face acts of harassment and violence on a daily basis as well.”

          So you’ve basically got them saying the poster is satire, but then they’re not only doing exactly what they claim they’re satirizing, but doing it in a way that can be seen as rubbing salt in the wound for people who were already hurt by the initial depiction.

          My personal opinion on the whole thing is that they really just fucked up and couldn’t read the room, but they do also have a history of being less-than-kind to the queer community themselves (seen in the article), so I can understand why people view the company as hypocritical in regards to the whole thing.

    I’m having a lot of fun playing mount and blade : bannerlord. The combat is satisfying and the game has quite a lot of depth. It can be a bit overwhelming but I think it’s worth the 2h attempt. For the power fantasy part : get good at polearms and riding, get yourself a glaive, optionally download the mod that allows you to hit several enemies with a single swing and mow down lines of infantry with each charge.

    Also, blizzard bad but Diablo is fun

    These come to mind where you can kill enemies, be a girl, and are or are similar to an rpg:

    Middle Earth: Shadow of War: main character is a guy but in one of the expansions you can play the story as Galadriel. Killing monsters and game mechanics are peak

    Skyrim Mods: ik you mentioned Skyrim, but The Wheels of Lull, The Tools of Kagrenac, and The Forgotten City are game sized mods in of themselves and are very good

    Elder Scrolls III Morrowind and IV Oblivion: both as good as Skyrim, but in different ways. Go in with an open mind and you will be amazed

    Star Wars KOTOR I & II: my favorite games of all time, very much games where you can choose how your character acts and who they become. Great story too, as a fan of star wars or not

      I beat Morrowind, and I like it, but nobody in that game is pretty. KOTOR is closer to what I want, but it’s very plot-y, and I already beat them both. I want something less thinky and faster paced.

        Morrowind has mods that make characters prettier (this is an understatement). I highly recommend them.
