I'm looking for a game that deals with psycological aspects in a similar manner to the sims. people hate, people love, and the double cross, backstab, betray, team up and other things.

Any help? I'd also like it if it was a sandbox game...

The Guild 2 Renaissance would come close to this, also Mount & Blade Warband has some interesting relations between lords, but actually I also wished there were games like you've just described.

Alter ego is pretty much everything I'm not looking for. Good try though.

[hemmingjay]

indeed The Guild 2 Renaissance does indeed fit the bill for your request.

I don't know any, hey, do you want me to recommend you a good linear fps shooter?

Dungeon Keeper.



What?  The creatures can hate each other, they love certain things, some can go stir crazy and start attacking your own creatures.  Plus it's awesome in general.

There really isn't much like your request though.

[Ninteen45]

Well that sucks.

Could creatures work?

I've heard of this sandbox game called Dwarf Fort or something like that.  Personalities, friendships, lovers & marriages, grudges, and stuff.  Cat ladies.  Insane killers.  Suicides.  I don't think they backstab though.

Really, programming AI that interacts emotionally with different AI is hard.  Even faking it is hard, so hard that unless it's the sole focus of a game, it's going to be shallow and transparent.

Wasn't there a game that played like a drama movie or someting? Dark Rain I think it was called. Never played it though.

Heavy Rain?

Heavy Rain isn't really AI based.  It's just got a lot of pretty awesome writing that covers tons of multiple paths, ie, "okay I just failed to save the main character's life so it'll just bump me back to the last save point--wait, it didn't?  the plot just adjusts around it?".  It's not open ended though.

As well it has a noticably last second plot change when they changed the game from being supernatural to natural.

Thus its psychological aspects are pretty spat upon if you pay close attention.

Closest thing I can think of at the moment is Jagged Alliance 2. The mercenaries there have different relations with each other. Some hate each other and will be reluctant to work in a team. Others like or even love one another. I recall once having a mercenary who seemingly was in love with another and went berzerk once that other mercenary died.

No backstabbing or autonomous forming of teams here, though. That sorta stuff you can at most find in 4x games.
