      because I do think the idea in TLOU is that every single death matters. Which is NOT something that's true in allegedly "hopeful" stories where the majority of protagonists as well as villains are expendable in the service of the greater good/evil

      This relates to why I much prefer tactical games to strategy ones, in that realm; I feel like a villainous dictator ordering a million-person army or fleet to its death, whereas it's much more humanizing if you are controlling a squad with names like in XCOM

      Yeah it's hard to play "grand strategy" games and not feel like a monster

      Especially when the idea of a grand strategy game is it usually gives you the perspective no individual human being could possibly have, not even a king or dictator You play the "spirit of a country" that exists over the course of many generations

      Something that, in real life, does not exist, and arguably the idea of which is intrinsically fascist and oppressive The idea that there is a USA "player" who "owns" all the people who are born in the USA and has the right to demand they sacrifice themselves for its welfare

      The world needs a first-person grand strategy game. You wander around a castle doing whatever you like, sending and receiving correspondence and reports. Maybe you go roaming, get a sense of things on the ground, maybe slap a few enemies. Mount and Blade kind of going that way.

      I remember all the hype over Master of Orion 3, where they said they were going to add a "5th X" to the 4X formula -- eXperience I.e. it would somehow be a realistic, immersive simulation of being a galactic warlord It turned out this meant lots of emails and spreadsheets

      Probably accurate, so far as this goes -- anyone in that position in real life would have to do a lot of delegating via a lot of obnoxious paperwork -- but not really what players want in a game

      None of these games factor in the unreliable data from underlings either. Like if your staff are lying for their own advancement. e.g Three months of letters saying the rebels are on the run then a bloodied scrap of paper reports your legions are all destroyed or in retreat.

      Yeah the protective shell of yes-men is the one of the most common and obvious failure modes of autocracy that these fantasies of being an all-powerful autocrat never really engage with

      Or just imperfect information in general Even in the best of situations everything people tell you is politicized

          Those tycoon games never have you deal with the fact that your bad employees might straight up lie to you about how things are going under their watch so you don't know that they're bad employees until there's a disaster When this is one of the key traits of bad employees

          it turns out that empire management sims are really personnel management sims and occasionally you press a button that says "WAR!"
