any game that lets you save and load makes you a magical plot armored chosen hero, whether the plot has other NPCs treat you like you're special or not doesn't matter. so the only thing that can rightfully apply is permadeath roguelikes/roguelites, which never have any character to meaningful narrative to them at all. so you're shit outta luck. read a book instead.
Hudson King
Non-meme answer now please
Luke Green
A Legionary's Life
What luck, it's a roguelite that has exactly all the things you said it needs to have
Henry Gutierrez
in bard's tale, you're literally "not the chosen one".
Wyatt Cox
Kingdom Come
Wasteland 2
Half-Life: Opposing Force
basically any WWII shooter
Joseph Campbell
You effectively still are, the game's just snarky about it
Jaxson Turner
user is looking for a game that implies you're playing a new character every time you die.
Rogue Legacy is what comes to mind immediately.
James Jackson
>MMXX
>believing in prophecies
Jonathan Rogers
that's just replacing a singular chosen hero with a legendary bloodline succession of chosen heroes. also that game is a boring grind
Isaiah Smith
Mount & Blade. You can potentially become a king if you build up your income and an enough of an independant warband, but you can also spend the game as a mercenary captain for one of the other kings.
Freelancer mod is especially good for this if you want to just be a front line trooper for a while.
Austin Lewis
uh Skyrim lmao

In a way. You ARE the chosen one (because surviving the Zeppelin crash made you one. All the other pre-built characters are corpses), but it's complicated and elaborating that would be a huge spoiler.
Ryan Cruz

no god in this house buddy.
Oliver Howard
Fallout New Vegas
You are nobody special.
You are just a skilled courier.
Asher Morgan
Pretty sure Toki the near-sighted knave didn't go down in legend.
Andrew Myers
Morrowind. You're technically the chosen one, as in the Empire chose you to go do some shit, but you MAKE YOURSELF the divine savior, it wasn't any fluke of providence.
Aiden Johnson
Oh shut the fuck up, everyone reading this conversation knows that Rogue Legacy doesn't have "just a nameless soldier" characters
Christian Phillips
nerevarine isnt the chosen one, he's literally the janitor of the jesus guy whatever
Nathaniel Watson
all these answers are bullshit. You're lookin for kenshi or some space station 13 type shit.
James King
>Tfw youre the chosen one
>Tfw you know how to beat the game
>Tfw the game forces you to be quiet about "being the messiah,"
Thomas Ramirez
I doubt OP actually meant his characters couldn't have a first name.
Luis Peterson
Battle Brothers (You lead a small mercenary group)
Halo: ODST
Dead Space 1
Helldivers (You are Special Forces, but effectively still just one of many)
It's pretty hard to find fantasy for that now that I think about it.
Drakensang: River of Time (You're just a regular mercanary/bodyguard)
Icewind Dale (You get pretty strong, but still no prophecies or grand quests)
Kenshi (Join the Holy Kingdom for that 'insignificant part of something greater' feel)
Michael Robinson
Someone already said it, but Mount & Blade is all about being a nameless hobo and assembling your forces.
You can even get a vassal-ship, and then disband your army, or leave it at your castle, and just be alone in big battles between bigger powers.
Justin Scott
Not my point at all. Every single playthrough is a single guy killing bosses on his own and exploring the castle and shit, do you really not know what the fuck a rank and file soldier is?
Jace Jones
If OP meant everything he said with absolutely no wiggle room, then he's basically asking us if we've heard of Mount & Blade.
Kayden Hill
...
Anthony Sanchez
And a text-based RPG.
Brody Taylor
Yes, but you are literally chosen by the Emperor to go to Morrowind and try to become the Nerevarine. You aren't born as the Nerevarine, but you ARE chosen. That's why you were on the ship with St. Jiub, blessed be his name.
Jose Johnson
A Legionaries Life, you're just one of thousands of roman legionaries, and actually staying alive through all the battles is the hard part.
Chase Murphy
Looks cool but the kind of game that might get boring quickly. I will still check it out since it's Romans, thanks for the recommendation anons.
I tried to get into Mount and Blade but I really just don't like real-time strategy. I'm too much of a brainlet, it stresses me out. That freelancer mod sounds more my speed though, never heard of it before.
Is this honestly good without mods?
Drakensang looks cool, thanks
Wyatt Taylor
Republic Commando i guess
Lucas Allen
>Is this honestly good without mods?
yes
Benjamin Perry
>that might get boring quickly
It has pretty good writing for all the battles and the combat system is fun. I'm biased though because I'm autismal for roguelites that give you upgrade points each run

makai kingdom is an srpg where you don't actually get to play as any of the story characters until after you beat the game, instead you play as his (generated by character creator) minions doing the main characters bidding
white knight chronicles is similar, you create a character and its literally just some fucking guy that helps out the actual important main characters do stuff
Parker Lopez
In Dragon Quest V you're not the chosen one you're just kind of looking for him to disastrous results for most of it.
Lucas Fisher
Running with rifles
Planetside 2
Deep rock galactic
Angel Hernandez
for shooters both Running with Rifles and Foxhole immediately come to mind
Nicholas Hernandez
mordhau. just roleplay as a farmer.
Nathaniel Long
Hyrule Warriors STARTS like that, but Link just too good at soldiering.
Nathan Rodriguez
Dwarf Fortress adventure mode
James Reed
SS13 colonial marines unless you're actually good at the game
Adam Cox
Either way the fact YOU as a specific individual is the one to become nerevarine is written in the elder scrolls anyway. the elder scrolls fortell everything.
Brayden Cook
shit recommendation
fuck that gay ass nigger rng fest
Angel James
Oblivion
Gabriel Carter
Fear & Hunger
Although its more like an assortment of nameless rank and file people.
Samuel Hughes
Has Yas Forums forgotten?

Carson Jenkins
Legionaries Life is pretty good game, but your first few runthroughs will feel unfair because the stats take a while to get used to
Wyatt Gutierrez
ILL MAKE THE LOGO
Caleb Peterson
Don't remind me
Good characters though
Ian Cruz
More villains
Brandon Bennett
What happened to the porn game this guy was drawing for? Not the one that was canceled, the other one.

Dynasty WArrior 8 Empires, you can have a "Troop Captain" propose his love to you, although I forget how to do it, it's just a generic guy
