I made a mistake. I asked This Question, which is clearly against the faqs listed, and for that I'm sorry (I have already flagged it for deletion). But I don't understand why this site doesn't have room for a discussion of mechanics between games. I understand that gaming is a wide scope, but I'm not asking a question about a wide enough array of games to swamp the post with more information than is legible. I'm not asking for opinions, or subjective facts. I am asking for games other users have found with similar mechanics to the ones I listed. I am looking for something fact based, that I haven't been able to readily find answers for myself in more than 3 years of research.

I'm looking for more games that do that, especially ones that focus on meaningful choices and lasting progression.
This is a "game catalogue" question. We looked hard at them and game recommendation questions, held a vote and called them off the island. :)

I see. They lost by 4 votes. Well, I suppose that at least is something... Far from a majority, but plurality will have to do.– RhylokMay 8, 2012 at 6:53

@Rhylok Actually it won by 27 votes as the +58 answer "doesn't count" (see the blockquote at the top)– badpMay 8, 2012 at 7:24

5@Rhylok If you go through all the questions with the game-recommendations tag here on Meta, you'll see that it wasn't just a single voting instance that determined the fate of those questions. It was a discussion that lasted months, with strong opinions on both sides. Ultimately, it was determined better for the site's health as a whole to deem them off-topic. There were several problems inherent with game-rec questions that made them an ill fit for our Q&A system. It was not a decision that was made lightly by the community, trust me.– FAEMay 8, 2012 at 11:20

233 votes even, since the downvotes didn't count. So it was 78 to 45, which is probably as close to consensus as we have ever come on this site.– bwarnerMay 8, 2012 at 13:19
