Dwarf Fortress-
A dwarf. A pickaxe. A plump helmet spawn. And a dream.

Splinter Cell Conviction:

Play through the entire story-mode without firing your weapon (except during particular cut scenes, and in the Iraq mission WHICH IS OMGWTFBBQ).

I would call it the pacifist path, except you break everybody's neck.

SWAT 4:

Play through the entire game only using flashbangs, cs-gas, and harsh language. (And fistcuffs if you're playing the expansion)

The thing is, lasers are earth-based weaponry.  No alien technology is used in their construction.  This means craft laser cannons (for what that's worth) and laser defense modules in your base.  Unless you mean no research at all (aside from Avenger necessities), in which case it should be specified as such.

The point was that your weapons are supposed to be trapped in a state of perpetual uselessness.

As to TES IV: I once played as an Archaeologist Adventurer. He wore only cloth armour and always fought with his fists.

It's all about dodging.

[Kagus]

Y'know, I was thinking about that...  Wandering around the countryside and seeking out those Ayleid ruins would've actually been a ton of fun, if the damn places had actually been at all interesting, or if they happened to include loot that was even halfway useful/valuable.

I briefly considered making it a quest to delve the depths of all those spots, but then I realized that after the first two I'd already seen every last one of them.  And there's nothing you can really do with all those pointless crystals you pick up.


You know what?  Someone should make a game that centers solely around exploring ruins like that and coming back with really cool artifacts that you can put on pedestals or whatnot...

[Grakelin]

I agree, that would be pretty sweet.

I should addendum that I played my Archaeologist with a mod that features a large adventure where you explore ancient underground ruins.

And I did cheat a bit by using ancient artifact weapons during boss battles, but it seemed appropriate.

I did fight six heavily armoured vampires armed with greatswords with my bare hands, though.

Silent Hunter III + grey wolves on full realism and doing all the targeting calculations yourself, properly. Some would say this is the only way to play the game. For added realism, don't shower or shave for a month before starting the game.

If you ask me, the ayleid ruins have the most interesting and varied level design in Oblivion, at least the ones I visited. The Planes of Oblivion on the other hand, now those are boring, repetitive and pointless. I soured on the whole game after closing 5-6 gates.

Check out the Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul mod.  Ruins aren't so safe anymore.  (Also there's hand placed artifacts in some)

Yeah, the Oblivion Gates quickly became a nuisance when

you eventually discovered you had to close one for every major city in the game except for Kvatch (due to obvious reasons).

More often than not, you had to hold someone's hand the whole way through.

And, actually, the only gate you have to close is Bruma's. The others, including Kvatch, only get you a bigger, but rather meaningless force when the Great Gate opens. And treasure, from the people you help, but that's a given.

FF7 crisis core: beat the game on hard mode without leveling up (wear curse ring). Really fucking hard up to a certain point, but it gets a lot easier once you get certain mission items.
