This isn't exactly a request for games, but I'd likely be interested in any games that have this feature.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Are there any games other than Morrowind that have a conversation system like this? I guess you would call it "wiki style". You'd think that by now another game would have used a system like this, maybe even improving it with topic categories and a search function, but I've never seen another game try this. Is there one out there I don't know about?

Shadowrun for SNES has a keyword convo system like Morrowind. Until someone mentions the keyword you don't know to ask about it. Unfortunately, it also clears keywords occasionally for quest reasons because you won't need them anymore, but you can go back and learn them again I think.

The earlier Elder Scrolls games have keyword systems. Daggerfall is pretty buggy depending on the build, but it and Arena are also pretty incredible in terms of the game systems they got into those early games. Arena has destructible walls for example.

I've heard a lot about that Shadowrun game, it looks kind of interesting. And yeah, I remember Daggerfall having a less-complete version of Morrowind's conversation system.

Albion employs a conversation system like this - keywords and/or topics. It predates Morrowind by seven years, but is awesome as hell. You can even input your own words/topics and ask NPCs about them, but they have to be context sensitive and relevant for you to get a non-generic answer.

If you don't mind older games, Albion is a great RPG. No, seriously, go get it.

Although there isn't a keyword list until the seventh game, the Ultima games post 3 all have keyword based conversations, with 4 to 6 all having you type in keywords manually.

Wizardry 8 has it as well.

How did I forget about Ultima? I'll check out some of the other games mentioned, thanks!

I really want to play a game with card-mechanics. Not necessarily games like MtG, YGO, Hearthstone etc, just something that revolves around cards/collecting cards in some way.

Some games that come to mind are Lost Kingdoms (1 and 2), Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Touhou 12.3

Honestly, I don't have anything too specific in mind, I just want there to be cards. Preferably multiplayer, but w/e.

Not sure, didn't play it, but maybe Hand of fate... it has cards 

[EnigmaticHat]

One game I considered making (well, starting on, I'm bad about finishing projects) was a card-based roguelike.  Instead of building the perfect deck over time you have to work with what you get and you permanently lose your deck on death.

cross-post:

Thanks Kadzar, i'm still on the fence on whether I really wanna start on a project right now. I have the same gripe with this game as I do with MC about building x10, at least on MC there's a huge community to peddle your skills to. Starmade's community is pretty small and seems to be way more focused on survival rather than building besides a few, dedicated, really awesome builders. Which makes me sad. I would like a game that is essentially EVE-like, or really just focused on missions and PVP, etc. but you have all the shipbuilding tools of Starmade and design your own ships. Nuthin' I hate more than flyin' around in my awesome ship alone, not doing anything in SP.

Anything? I fear that request approaches the fabled failure of a project, 0x10c.

Sounds like Shores of Hazeron, though I haven't played it and have heard it has some major problems.

I need three new games.

1. A Minecraft-like that doesn't lag like shite (eg. Minecraft itself).
2. Something similar to X-Com: Enemy Unknown/Within.
3. Any PlayStation Vita game worth noting. Single-Player preferred. I find myself glancing over a rack of games at the local store only to return uninterested with anything.

[Bouchart]

For an X-Com clone you might try Xenonauts, or the older game Shadow Watch.  I don't know how close to X-Com you are looking for though.

Also the modern Shadowrun games have combat inspired by X-Com but there is a good deal of plot and RPG elements.

[Draxis]

2. Something similar to X-Com: Enemy Unknown/Within.

Invisible Inc is often called "stealth XCOM", and it does have a very similar feel to the tactical component.  The actual mechanics are pretty different, though.

Persona 4: Golden. JRPG/Social Simulator/Monster Collector

I should have mentioned which games I had. P4G is something I enjoy, aside from the grindy Disgaeas, which I have both of them on the Vita.

Games on Vita:
P4G
Disgaea 3
Disgaea 4
Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3
MGS HD collection
DJMax Technica Tune
Uncharted: Golden Abyss

P4G
MGS HD collection

Seconded. Disgaea is a grindy grindfest and not my cup of tea but it's not a bad game. Great time waster though.

Just got $20 back from a steam refund, how spend?

1) Lately I've been enjoying Space Engineers, which is basically Minecraft in space. Early access title (and could really use some more content), though, and if you're having trouble with minecraft I'm not sure how well it would run for you.

2) Jagged Alliance 2, Silent Storm, Shadowrun Returns

Does anyone know of a single player game with a crafting system system to the Atelier series?

Never played that game but i'd bet on Kingdoms of Amalur.
Basically you break items and "exctact" their components like blades hilts grips ETC and put them back together and infuse with gems to make something stronger.
