I'm not much of a gamer, but once in a while I will find a game that completely captures my imagination. It is usually always a sandbox type of game which is mostly vague so I may fill the rest of the content with my imagination.

For a long time I have been really into a video game called Mount and Blade. You lead a group of soldiers through medieval times and battle other armies. The game is unique because you never leave the perspective of your character. While in a battle, you will be fighting with your avatar, as one soldier (The leader), while leading the rest of your band.

There's no story to the game. You simply do what you feel like doing within the world. This leaves room for you to create your own story, making this the perfect game for INFP's.

Any other games that challenge your imagination? I'd like more.

I love the Mount and Blade series! Just about the only games I play anymore are PC games from Paradox Interactive (i.e. Mount and Blade, Europa Universalis III) and competitive console fighting games (Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, etc...).

Why they haven't continued VII's storyline is beyond me.

Yeah, I have no idea. VII was one of my favorite games ever, made me cry multiple times.

Ah, video games. Some of the best so far: The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Mass Effect, The Witcher and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I have quite high hopes for Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, which is supposed to come out 11.11.2011. And also for Mass Effect 3. For me the plot and deep, complex characters are maybe the most important things.

For this INFP I never entertained the video genre except for the Myst games. It was perfect for me. The Arcade games? Hmmm... I seem to be a bit addicted, built my own Arcade. Bejewelled Blitz, sheesh. I need to stop.





Also I never played this game but this video, I like (Kingdom Hearts?):



It appeals to my INFPness.

I'm so tempted to get into an MMORPG, but I never find one that I really connect with. I've been looking at Neverwinter Nights and Guild Wars. Maybe I should just wait until Star Wars: The Old Republic which I know for certain I'm getting.

personally, i'm rather looking forward to a game called "The Secret World," made by Ragnar Tornquist, who made the "Longest Journey" adventure games. The Secret World is *supposedly* very different than typical mmos, in that it... for one, takes place in modern day earth, where you face off against hidden and mysterious... well, things -_-; it's big on conspiracy stuff, apparently.

beside that, it has a strong focus on puzzle-solving (rather than just killing and all that), and includes puzzles that actually require you to go outside of the game to solve (generally through web searches). improving your character is different, too, in that you dont properly level, but simply gain new skills (and it seems there's a large amount of freedom in how you can build your character).

Playing Deus Ex Human Revolution at the moment. The original title is one of my all time favorites and honestly, I'm really enjoying this prequel.

I mainly play shmups and arcade shooters like Mushihimesama Futari, Ketsui, ESPrade, Guwange etc etc. I really love CAVE games. I've been loving Akai Katana a lot lately.



Nier has some pretty epic moments and is a horribly overlooked game in my opinion. Great story and soundtrack.

INFPs would probably enjoy visual novels. Yes there is a lot of porn type stuff in many of them, but most are about love, romance etc. They can be pretty terrible though.

Maybe maybe maybe, the first 2 fallout games (fallout 1 & 2) would appeal to you as you would create a character in whatever way you want, and confront the world and go wherever you want, on a quest to save your people! with dark humour, brutal post appocoplytic world :3 a world you can kinda put yourself into I'd say...
Combat is turn based, so its not the same as mount and blade AT ALL ^^ and you only control one character "shrugs" always been one of my favorits :)
Sorry if this does not appeal to you though.

Oh yeah, I've played fallout 2 and 3 and loved them both. I'll have to check the first one out.
I kind of went out of order lol.
