Because yes, the shoutbox just made me curious about this.
If you could live within any video game's universe, what would you choose, and why?
Keep in mind, you are still you. Living in the world of Halo doesn't garuntee you'd be a Spartan badass; It would just garuntee the existence of pissed off aliens.
For me... Shit, that's actually a hard question. I have to think about this a bit.

Maybe Minecraft? I'm trying to think of games I play/played in the past.

Why not Pokémon? Minus PETA At first glance it seems like a good idea. Anyone can get Pokemon and live comfortably just by training and battling with them because as long as you win you get money. But in the real world a ten year old being able to travel the planet is extremely unsafe and unrealistic. I would assume a world surrounded by creatures capable of a wide range of dangerous abilities would be even more unsafe. |

You wouldn't have to eat, you don't have to sleep, you have almost no responsibilities. |

One of those Newgrounds flash porn games where sex is the key to absolutely everything ever.

So many. So very many.
If I'm still me... hmm...
This is hard because for most of them I would either be slaughtered or turned into a horrible monster. I will have to review available games and come back with a better answer.

I will have to review available games and come back with a better answer. My thoughts exactly, haha. If not for a likely immediate death, I'd say TES or The Witcher. (Mainly because Toussaint looks like Southern France and is the most beautiful place I've seen in a game.) But yeah, other than that, being in the Witcher's universe probably means torture and being burnt on a stake... Final answer is Mass Effect. Actually have a survivable chance, I imagine, and living on the Citadel or Omega (Citadel's prolly safer) would be awesome imo. Because who wouldn't love the chance to drink interstellar liquor and get drunk with aliens? Also, I heard Minecraft is actually pretty horrifying in VR, haha. Read an article on it about a week ago; I guess it isn't as obvious with the normal camera, but literally every enemy is taller than you. Guy playing said he was a lot less eager to get into fights with mobs. (Probably because the camera is placed lower, but idk.) |

Well, do I have to be generally in the conflict? Or could I be a person in This War of Mine watching from a first-world country, far away from the war and strife happening?

Anywhere at all in the game's particular universe. That's what makes Toussaint so beautiful in The Witcher, haha; Basically the only area able to completely escape the war.

Huh. Lol, just any sci-fi game where humans have gone out and colonized other worlds, and some conflict happens elsewhere, and I can just be on earth living it up without a trouble in the world then.
Alternately, TABS. I would accept being slaughtered if it means being part of the Peasant horde.

Mount & Blade/Mount & Blade: Warband because you're virtually immortal and can raise an empire.
