A peruse of some forums didn't pull up anything obvious, so I'm wondering if there are more games like STALKER + MISERY that have or can be turned into comfy inventory management not just for weapons and gadgets, but meds and food and the like. The most relevant searches included Ark, Arma, etc but I'm thinking mostly singleplayer.
For example, while not necessarily obvious upfront, Fallout 4 with the right (read: huge number of) mods can turn it into a comfy game where backpacks are needed for gear, most is crafted/bought in limited quantity, and you gotta plan what you want to bring carefully.
Not singleplayer, but the correct answer is escape from tarkov.

Ironically the biggest tragedy is the fact that it is MP. I bought it because it looked absolutely erection inducing and it 100% is (my character actually eats holy shit), but just existing is terms for immediate death/loss of everything and to quote something I read earlier, "it's a job to play, and I already work a wagecuck job."

isometric isn't my cup of tea but the screenshots scream inventory autism, I'll give it a look over.
James Gomez
Well, it's definitely not a casual-friendly game, but you don't have to go full autism on it either. As long as you're gun/gear autistic already, you'll know most of what you need to know. There's something incredibly satisfying about building my AR I own in real life ingame, as a complete 1 to 1 clone. Same optic, an eotech with a magnifier, that actually works right! It flips to the side so you can use it at 1x or magnified!
But the thing is collecting top of the line gear isn't everything. You can work with a basic AK and some scavenged body armor and be good to go if you play it smart. >but just existing is terms for immediate death/loss of everything This is true, and I find it adds to the tension. A lot.
But, you can do what is called a Scav (scavenger) run. The game spawns NPCs called scavs. You randomly take one over when you do this, with all their gear. So even if you have a completely empty stash, you can go in with this. And if you make it out alive, you keep all the gear. It's also unique in that NPC scavs remain non-hostile to you, until you kill one.
Anyway, at some point they're planning on doing an open beta. Eventually. I suggest you give it a shot then.

Cataclysm DDA is pretty cool, and the inventory system is getting better. You can holster sidearms and sling long guns and keep magazines in pouches. There is a pretty steep learning curve but once you get the hang of it things get fun. I haven't played much in a few months so I'm sure the latest experimental build is full of new mechanics

Benjamin Young
I did hear about this at some point though I wasn't entirely sure what the gameplay was like, thanks. Open source already sounds good, so I'll give it a shot.
picking it up now, it has a real interesting premise, shame it's $5 more on GOG but I want to actually be able to play it
David Rivera
Oh, hi that one guy who gets butthurt whenever Escape from Tarkov gets mentioned. I see you're still a miserable person.
Jacob Morris
Its a roguelike, but it was my first experience with that kind of game and I was able to pick it up pretty quick, at least to the point I could survive longer than the first day. Theres some cool looking tile sets, just pick one you like and expect to die a lot. Like, a lot a lot
Josiah Peterson
what are you talking about, its absolutely isometric.
Luis White
Cataclysm DDA is the ultimate kit game.
Levi Mitchell
this sort of, initially i loved it because of the adrenaline rush of losing all your shit if you die and it was fun but after a while i started to encounter more and more full geared teams of 3+ that just wipe the entire map.
it's still fun but i'd play it much more if it was all solos or i had a few people i could regurarly squad up with, it's an amazing game to play in a group. if you like open world and actual survival dayz standalone is pretty great, i dont like the zombies and shit but they're more of a nuisance the game is mostly vs other players. youtube.com/results?search_query=dayz standalone patch trailer you require food and drink, can get wet cold and sick, pretty extensive medical system. also cannibalism

cataclysm dda, 7.62 hard life and jagged alliance 2 1.13 all have very autistic inventory management
Kayden Gonzalez
Throwing my vote in for C:DDA. One of my most played games and since a toaster can run it I can satisfy my innawoods autism anywhere.
Zachary Young
90% of JA2 is inventory autism. you'll like it.
Charles Scott
Yep, unless you plan on sniping on woods or shoreline EFT is 100% a game you have to play with a group.
Duos can be extremely effective though you don’t need a big squad

Was one of the first games to really do this thing WELL
Thomas Myers
Underrail is a decent game for that, between needing to carry different ammo calibres and types, the different kind of guns (that can support modifications like laser sights) for each calibre as well as all the extra gear you might want to bring: throwing knives; grenades; food (grants temporary stat bonuses); traps; medicines like anti-venom or adrenaline shots; patching kits for armour and repair kits for weapons; lockpicks.
I would advise that the game is however a bit rough and that I personally made my way past certain points of the early game through sheer will, trial and error and excessive amounts of game-rule manipulation. If your character isn't built right, engaging in some fights is a near automatic death sentence the first time round.
Also, be very aware of the fact that a group of humans are one of the hardest things in the early game to beat if you don't have psi.
Jordan Clark
This may not be the style of game you are looking for, but most older JRPGs had very limited inventory space.
Liam Cooper
Well, Arma 3 is very good. With some singleplayer mods you can go lonewolf in a war torn island with your inventory full of all the stuff you can imagine. I play with a squad and i'm the medic, and I usually carry:
>Normal bandages >Elastic bandages >Quick cloth >Tourniquets >Bags 250 to 1000ml of plasma >Bags 250 to 1000ml of blood >Epinephrine autoinjectors >Morphine autoinjectors >Adenosine >Bodybag(s) >Defibrillator >Surgical kit
And also other mandatory things, like: >Binoculars, compass, watch, map, earpro, sunglasses... You know the drill
Also you have to carry all that in backpacks, affecting the weight. Your soldier will be tired sooner if carrying a lot of weight. The peak arma 3 experience is with mods though. For example, there's this advanced medical menu to treat wounds more realistically than to just "use the medkit".
Camden Anderson
Oh man, I've done this so many times I've lost count. I made this thread to secretly pull myself away from NV; I picked it up beginning of 2018 and I haven't stopped playing since. I've seen this before, it looks like it's mediocre in story and such but I *did* request inventory so I'll give it a look over, thanks. A little jank never hurt anyone (cough Gamebryo). Are there any good SP specific Arma 3 mods that stand out? I've tried getting into Arma before but just playing the game itself was a cliff-face of learning.
