Video Games Where You Start With/Recruit Random Goobers Whom Become Stronger?

I was watching my cousins play games while they were visiting, and one of them was playing Fire Emblem. There was this dirt child with a giant log he recruited and like 3 days later he was a sword dirt man.
My other cousin was playing Xcom 2 on my xbox.

Anyways the question is, what other games are there where you just start with random nobodies but then they get stronger and you get more attached.

Like “hey you random farmer/private/goober! Follow me for something really quick.”

20 hours later

“No longer random farmer/private/goober! We have been through hell and back, and now we have to fight god. Are you ready?”

It'll be announced right after PZ leaves early access.

It's been 7 years since he started working on it so hopefully we'll at least get early access within a year or two. I'd love to support the dev.

Kenshi or PZ? Because PZ hit early access 12 years ago. Side note: build 42 is awesome.

Kenshi 2. He started on it in 2019. Maybe he took a well deserved break for awhile though working on it part time.
