Well, obviously I knew about that one since it's what the meme I posted is referencing.
I was just hoping for a more modern take.

Divine Divnity. You get Summon Skeleton (summons up to 5 skeletons), Summon Steel Skeleton (summons exactly 5 steel skeletons), summon dread knight (summons one armored skeleton), and ressurect (raises a dead enemy to fight for you).
You need to use Aura of Command to get them to actually follow you, otherwise they just kinda hang around where you summoned them and kill anything that comes near. But you can Ressurrect a Skeleton Lord, who will then summon two steel skeleton conjurers, who will then summon INFINITE SKELETON ARCHERS AND SOLDIERS AS LONG AS THERE ARE ENEMIES ON SCREEN.

I never played Diablo II, how is necromancy in there?
Also, while I wouldn't say it has the best necromancy gameplay, the necromancy college o magick in Arcanum has varied spells, almost all important ones, be it in different styles of combat, or plot related.

Therr's the minion master from Guild Wars 1, but he's a far cry from real necromancers. He's gimped as hell.

Anyone ever try any of the Skyrim Necromancy mods?
Any of them decent?

What I'm getting from this thread is that most necromancy games are old. Why? Did the massive zombie shooter surge kill all interest in Undead?
Anthony Peterson
It's almost always a villain archetype for obvious reasons. Only in grim dark stuff like Diablo does it ever come up as a morally grey hero class.
It's also way less common in JRPGs than western ones since they don't always do undead tropes the same way as the west with a lot more ghosts and spirits based stuff. Or their own brand of yokai/kami/etc.

What's the appeal of the Necro play style?
Seems like it would be really boring on anything other than an RTS where you can directly control and command your undead.

Necro in Diablo 2 is the best implementation of a necromancer ever. Nothing encapsulates the power fantasy of killing shit and using its corpse to kill more shit better.

Necromancy lends itself best to oldschool DND type games and RTS games, both of which are really old boomer genres.

Not a necromancy-focused mod, but Ordinator has some fun sounding stuff in it.

Something about the ability to just say "hey those guys were fun to fight, wish they were on my side" is appealing. I'm surprised more games don't use that sort of deal but it's obviously a nightmare to balance and prevent snowballing in games without it as the main feature.
