Who wants to play an adventure RPG where you don’t become an impactful person? You can’t be regular and highly impactful, it’s a bit of an oxymoron.

Tbf one of the most praised RPGs of the last decade is about an alcoholic cop in a backwater city solving one minor murder case

that’s a pretty good counterexample. Disco Elysium shows you can be a complete mess of a person and still have a meaningful impact without becoming some unstoppable hero.

A complete mess of a person that's strongly implied to have genuinely paranormal abilities though.
