Gothic
Gothic is one of the few rare dark fantasy games that is ruthless, cruel and challenging enough to truly put you in your place in life. You are not the hero; you are not a chosen one; you are just some miserable wrench who found himself in the penal colony in Myrtana, mining for ores day in and out with the rest of the wrenches in there. The colony is filled with tons of AI characters, including both guards and the prisoners, that you can interact and gradually work together with in order to secure some extra benefits or eventually find a way to break out. Oh, and expect to get beaten up a lot.All in all, Gothic is not your average rose-glass-tinted RPGs and surprisingly, there isn't a lot of this sort of games out there.
