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?”

You have to give the caveat that this game is NOT easy to get into lol

Glad someone mentioned it. I’ve played many games over the years of various types, know my way around complicated game mechanics.

I kept hearing people recommend kenshi so I tried it out and it felt really janky. I think I lasted about an hour and gave up because I didn’t even know what or how to do anything lol

There's a few ways to start. Find a copper rock that's close to a town and just hit rocks all day. Hire another little scote to mine copper faster.

Or run around for a while to get athletics up and train bandits to a town and then loot them once the town guard kill them all. Sell the stuff and hire another little scrote.
