Uuh.. No.. I for one, can't think of one.
At least not with these three requirements in the same game.

Well, both the grind and unique elements are relative and the unique one was "really not necessary".

Like, as long as it isn't a reskin of World of Warcraft with the grind turned up by 5x I should be fine. That kind of thing.

Vindictus has some unique mechanics. I'd suggest trying it if you just want an interesting time sink MMO. Can't vouch for the grinding part though.

Black Desert is unbelievably grindy but there's tons to do and the combat is pretty fun.  It's also got the best customization ever.

Since Steam Summer Sale will be tomorrow, I'm interested in buying some games.

Here's the list of games I'm interested in:
Stardew Valley (I've never played Harvest Moon or any other farming simulators, but I might take it. I sometimes want something relaxing and chilling...)
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (I don't like Skyrim due to no middle ground between "Too easy" and "bullet sponges" and unsatisfying combat, but Morrowind looks much more interesting than Skyrim, even if it's old.)
Prison Architect (Dunno, looks interesting and has a nice style. Also, I'm a fan of base-builders.)
Supreme Commander 1 + Forged Alliance (The game from my childhood which I didn't play a lot, but would like to pick up during the sale.)
So, the most important question: Will I like Morrowind if I didn't like Skyrim? And should I buy all of these games, or ignore some of these?

EDIT 1: I forgot that TES III: Morrowind belongs to Bethesda, so forget about that game, it never happened.

EDIT 2: Mephisto sent me a free key through Humble Bundle. Thank you, Mephisto!

Sent you a PM, in case you didn't see it.

How would it belonging to Bethesda, stop you from enjoying the game?

[Reelya]

Morrowind was a great game.

Bethesda in 2002 were basically a completely different company to what they are now. They needed capital so took on investors during Morrowind's development, but then those investors ousted the original company founders and turned it into the monolith it is now.

Morrowind is fantastic and entirely different beast than Skyrim. Also, Prison Architect is awesome.

I second that opinion of Morrowind. It's an amazing game.

Also, my greatest fear about Prisoner architect is that after I build a fully functioning prison with everything there is to build then the game will end and I will have nothing left to experience, no challenge to overcome. As if it's a game with mechanics of something to be replayed but no replayability.

[CABL]

I will not buy Morrowind because Bethesda developed and published the game, and I'm boycotting Bethesda.

Well, that's your prerogative, BUT, you're doing yourself a disservice--Morrowind is one of the best ARPGs ever made.

[Ultimuh]

In my experience, boycotts rarely ever works unless enough people did so. But whatever, you do you I suppose.
And I agree, you are missing out on one of the few games by them, that are truly worth buying.
Unless of course, you are one of those whom believe Morrowind is a dumbed down version of Daggerfall or something.

You see, I bought their games in the past already. Fallout 3 was great when I was a kid, but it's mediocre right now. Skyrim is also quite mediocre, but good for 100 hours of play. Fallout New Vegas is one of my favorite games from the new tens, Dishonored was cool, even if it suffered from lack of the options for a pacifist player, and Doom 2016 was awesome. They're not very good developers by themselves, but they are great publishers, but it's all IMHO. Too bad that they decided to resort to abhorrent practices like "Creaton Club", or as I like to call it "Microtransaction Club"...

As for inefficiency of boycotts, they're inefficient because the majority of people are idiots. If the majority of people had some gears in their noggin, then there wouldn't be corporations like Ubisoft or EA. They'd just run out of money after the boycotts.

[EnigmaticHat]

I'm not even boycotting Ubisoft, after what they did to the Assassin's Creed franchise I just assume anything they make is going to disappoint or annoy me.

I was a bit drunk last night, and this morning I noticed two more games on my steam wish list; Rise to Ruins, and Lobotomy Corp.

Does anybody have any experience with either?
