List of all 10 games which use extortion as an in-game feature. Extortion is obtaining something valuable, money most of the time, through the use of force or simply use of threats. It’s something we can encounter in video games, especially the ones you can play as a villain / criminal type character.
Extortion is what mafias do. At least, that’s what we learned from Italian mob movies. This list has few Mafia games as well.
10 games where you can extort, blackmail, lie, cheat, and steal:
1. The Guilds 3
2. Godfather
3. Vice City Stories
4. True Crime: New York City
5. Do Not Feed the Monkeys
6. Gremlins, Inc.
7. Raiders! Forsaken Earth
8. Antihero
9. Mount & Blade Bannerlord
You can extort any caravan you see on map. They’ll pay you lots of gold to leave them alone.
10. Crusader Kings 3
You can blackmail nobles of the court if you know their secrets. It’s possible to extort money, gain support, and ask favors in CK3 if you have hook on the targeted character.
Hooks can be gained by simply learning a character’s secret. Secrets can be revealed to you through spying, informants, secret trades, and by randomly witnessing.
It’s a very good way to obtain money and power in Crusader Kings 3. It’s set in the dark medieval era after all.
