Good third-person PC games that aren't shooters

I'm working on a third-person RPG game with no combat. I'm trying to look for existing games that are similar so I can see how I can best make my controls work. I've been using an MMO-style control system but it really suffers in tight interior quarters.
Can you guys think of any good third-person PC games that aren't shooters that have good, workable controls?
My characters will need to pick up items and open doors and talk to NPCs and that's about it. The environments are a mix of small house interiors and wide open exterior areas.

Thanks.

 

NANANANA BATMaaNNN!

 

At first I thought you were a troll. But then I realized you're right!

 

There are a lot of third person non-shooters with great controls. The most prominent that comes to my mind is the Demon's Souls / Dark Souls series: great indoor/outdoor cameras and controls. Another might be Dragon's Dogma though camera and controls are not perfect there.

 

Prince of Persia franchise.

 

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. Another great one I thought of is The Witcher.

I've been looking at the third person camera controllers on the asset store and they all have something wrong with them if I'm trying to achieve that same functionality. Looks like I might have to roll my own =/

 

Go ahead. In general I suggest to try to program as much as possible without using premade scripts or assets.

Good luck

 

Arkham games are some of the best out there, come on keep up ..

 

I was playing counterspy, which was actually made with unity. I wonder if they were using unity basic because they had the splash screen.

 

L.A. Noire. It does have shooting, but it's far from the focus of the game. Mostly what you do is...

There's a fair bit of driving, too. Basically it's an interactive detective drama.

 

It won't hurt to experiment with the camera a lot. Camera distance and angle are the biggest variables, although an offset is another. Try to put the thing I'm trying to look at in the center of the screen, not have the center filled with the back of a character who's looking at the thing I'm trying to look at.

Just bare in mind you want the camera mostly done before you start building levels, because how the camera works is going to determine more about the structure of your levels than anything that came before it.

 

skyrim? .. morrowind, oblivion? adjustable camera, but it clips thru walls sometimes... pretty rare though, unless you are Trying to make it clip thru

 

Remember Me was more of a 3rd person fighter. I really enjoyed it.
