Pick one game world you would move into, with an ordinary job

[Hidden Sookie]

Most of us have imagined living in a game world. But usually we picture ourselves as the hero, saving kingdoms, slaying dragons or piloting starships. Here is a twist. Which game world would you move into if you had to live there as an ordinary person with an ordinary job?

Suddenly the choice changes a lot. Living in Skyrim sounds lovely until you realise dragons attack villages and bandits are everywhere. Being a shopkeeper in a Fallout wasteland is unlikely to be pleasant. A farmer in Stardew Valley's Pelican Town, on the other hand, sounds rather nice. So does running a cafe in Animal Crossing, where the worst thing that happens is someone stealing your fruit. Think of it as a very nerdy careers fair

Some worlds might be exciting places to work, as long as you keep your head down. A mechanic in a Mass Effect space station, a chef in a Zelda town or a groundskeeper at a Pokemon gym could be good options. Others would be terrifying, like anywhere in a horror game or most of the Dark Souls series

Think about safety, community, food, weather and how likely you are to be eaten by a monster. Pick a job too, as that is half the fun

Which world do you move to, and what is your job there?

Hours might be long though. Free healing for everyone is a lovely healthcare model, to be fair
