Please recommend/list necromancy games/mods for RPGs(Preferred) or possibly sim/strategy-like games. Neither WC3(The Scourge) nor Infinity Engine games could possibly count. I'm looking for some games with realistic necromancy(If it were real), none of this 'summon a pet skeleton for 2 minutes' that most games offer when they make their half-assed attempt. Diablo 2 and Baldur's Gate come to mind. Arcanum almost accomplished it well, but not quite.
Most games have the evil necromancer building an army of undead to crush and enslave a kingdom. Are there any games that allow the PLAYER CHARACTER to be the one doing said enslavement?
There are very few games which really delve into the dark arts as a viable option for a character. If BGII had offered a crypt stronghold for the necromancer wizard specialization, then that would be more or less along the right lines. The best I've seen so far would be a mod for NWN whose name eludes me, but it was buggy as all hell.
Hell let's take it a step further, any anti-hero RP games out there other than the BG/FO series?
