      Their university leadership are slightly more coherent than mine - I’ll take that life.

      I feel like my life would t be any different. I’d be a wizzard with an annoying job dealing with people who don’t understand magic and all the familial obligations.

      I’d be fine, which is nice, but I’d just be me in another universe.

      Maybe I’d be longing for a less weird universe. And that makes me sad.

      So I guess I would t like to live in Discworld universe. I wouldn’t be the wyrdest person there.

    I’ll just pick a light-hearted high fantasy setting with casual reality warping…

    Gotta be one of those

    I’m not certain if I’d be more fucked in Factorio, The Elder Scrolls, Terraria, or Stardew Valley. I’d be fucked either way though since I assume I’d be a rando off screen, and not the main character

      It’s pretty safe to be an NPC in thr Elder Scrolls as long as you aren’t important or interesting and you’re polite to adventurers.

        I held off the dragons till I did everything else because I got so annoyed with them killing townspeople in Skyrim.

        Morrowind taught me to take over some asshole dark elf’s house in Seyda Neen, and powelevel all my skills to 100 before I left the first town so that a random cliff racer, or kwarma forager didn’t take out me and any random NPC around me.

        Oblivion, beeline to Anvil, buy the house, and again just max out all my skills. Mostly so that the random encounters didn’t kill me. I don’t remember having issues keeping NPCs alive in that one.

        I’m entirely uncertain that any of us normal non magicka wielding randos would survive long in any of the most interesting times of mundus.

          Yeah something like the Oblivion Crisis would be tough on the commoners. But if I could just chill in Vivec City or even Whiterun for most of history it’s pretty safe.

        Nope. You’d most likely be stuck in the city the player escaped from, or the war that Jodi’s hubby is in in the first year.

        Because of your username, are you familiar with Derail Valley Simulator? It’s an excellent locomotive simulator.

          Oh absolutely! I’ve logged a few too many hours in Derail Valley. It’s very fun for when I just want to hop on and drive some trains, although it doesn’t really scratch the “I want to play with trains from $SpecificLocale during $SpecificTimeframe” Itch that simulators like Trainz do, where you can for example drive a Metra commuter train from Harvard into Chicago, or jump to Germany and drive the ICE or switch freight wagons in post-grouping Britain, or drive local freights through rural Australia

    My favorite fictional universe is Star Trek, but right now I’m really into The Expanse and that’s probably more interesting.

      I am a trekie too. I only hope to not get reincarnated on one of the planets that got razed to the ground for backgroundstory.
      Additionally it could be devastating for the federation if one trekkie gets assimilated by borg

    I’m excited to see if I can channel. Of course, the reds will try to kill me if I succeed… but still worth a shot!

      At least Cyberpunk got joy girls and working cybernetics. We get Gilead and cyber trucks that short out from a car wash.

    It’s nice to see how many of yall are quick with whatever your favorite fictional universe is…

    I have never put much thought into one I’d deem as a favorite. I like a lot of games, shows, books, and such… But I don’t think I’d be able to pick just one.

      Multiverse it is.

      Crucially, you don’t automatically get to travel the multiverse. You just know it exists now.

    I’ll be allright, it is just a small silly ring that I have to throw in a burning mountain. That is surrounded by orcs and other evil beings. While the ring is fighting against me and giving me supernatural powers.

    Oh and no pressure, only the whole world will be destroyed and everything I know and love will be gone too.

    Yea, Lord of the rings. I’m screwed…

    I’m good. I mean, there’s a hell portal right next to a certain town in the countryside, but even the demons of this world are more “asshole characters and weird animals” than actual-ACTUAL-demons. Plus they seem to have completely handled issues of poverty and such by taming all of nature with magic, even if they still use money and have jobs. Less ‘socialism’ and more ‘post-scarcity society, but with magic instead of tech’.

    … I’m talking about Equestria from Gen 4 My Little Pony by the way.

    … Then again ponies are like SUUUUPER racist, so if I end up there as a human, I think I’d be experimented on.

        I was a child that didn’t understand english when I played Diablo, so I’m willing to take it at face value but like.

        For real?

    Elder Scrolls… So here’s hoping I land somewhere in Cyrodiil with a long gap in between major catastrophic events.
