Games That You Wish Existed Options

[RaderOfTheLostArk]

[Insert Half-Life 3 joke here]

A month or so ago, I quipped in The Everything Thread about a basic type of game I would like to see become real. After thinking about it every so often (and constantly forgetting about it), I figured: Why not make a thread for that kind of thing? Surely everyone has all sorts of ideas in that regard.

The game could be a totally new IP that doesn't exist yet. Or it could be an existing IP you love but you want to see something done differently with it (even if it would be a completely different genre and just a spin-off). Things of that sort.

_________________________________________________________________________

I'll start, and I'm going to go with my favorite series, The Elder Scrolls. First, I wish Bethesda would make the canceled Elder Scrolls Adventures games Eye of Argonia and Paradise Sugar. They were the sequels to Redguard. Eye of Argonia was supposed to have Cyrus again as the protagonist, I believe, which I would absolutely have been down for.

But more than that, I'd really love a TES fighting game. I rarely play games in that genre, but if there was one for TES I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I'd have to think about how I'd like to see the gameplay, etc. turn about, but it would be rad to have a roster of characters from across the series all in one game and fight each other. I believe Injustice and Marvel vs. Capcom have the characters say unique dialogue to each other before they fight, and I think that would be awesome to hear in a TES fighter as well.

Some of the characters that I want to see on the roster would be (games they appear in beside each name):

Jagar Tharn (Arena)
Dagoth Ur (Morrowind)
Gortwog Gro-Nagorm (Daggerfall)
Cyrus the Restless (Redguard)
Pergan Asuul (Shadowkey)
Azra Nightwielder (Shadowkey)
King Joruun (Online)
King Emeric (Online)
Queen Ayrenn (Online)
Shalidor (Online, but mostly from lore)
Mannimarco, King of Worms (Daggerfall, Oblivion, Online)
Kodlak Whitemane (Skyrim)
Vivec (Morrowind, Online)
Almalexia (Morrowind, Online)
Soth Sil (Morrowind, Online)
Vanus Galerion (Online, but mostly from lore)
Lucien Lachance (Oblivion)
Ulfric Stormcloak (Skyrim)
Legate Rikke (Skyrim)
Umaril the Unfeathered (Oblivion)
Pelinal Whitestrake (Oblivion briefly)
Baurus (Oblivion)
Fargoth (Morrowind) [He would make for a great joke character in the game, but actually have him be capable of fighting.]
Mankar Camoran (Oblivion)
Lord Harkon (Skyrim: Dawnguard DLC)
Serana (Skyrim: Dawnguard DLC)
Gaiden Shinji (Online, but mostly from lore)
Sai Sahan (Online)
Lyris Titanborn (Online)
The Underking (Daggerfall)
Dram (Redguard)
Admiral Richton (Redguard)
Prince Helseth (Morrowind)

I want more on there, but that is all I can think of for now. I don't know any characters from Dawnstar or Stormhold, but I'd like for them to be represented a bit, too. Obviously, this game would be non-canon.

So what about you all? What kind of games do you wish existed and were playable?

My ideal game would be single player, medieval fantasy, open world, create your own character, massive, open world, rpg where you do not rely on a party of either other player or NPCs. Lots of repeatable things to do so a character could live and adventure there daily for years.

Baldurs Gate and its ilk of D&D-inspired games are not open world and are designed around playing with a party of NPCs.

KCD is not medieval fantasy, nor does it allow you to create your own character.

Oblivion and Skyrim are not massive.

ESO is massive but not single player. The problems with ESO all revolve around it being multiplayer. The game has to try and please soloists, group dungeoneers/raiders and PvP (player vs player). This means trying to 'balance' skills which leads to constantly nerfing and buffing them, leaving players feeling as if they are building upon a foundation of shifting sands. If ESO were single player it could still live in the cloud via a server to play but the stimulus to balance the game for disparate communities would largely be gone and the addons that fans could create and share could expand beyond user interface/convenience features to actual hard combat/skill changes so players could customize their game more to their liking the way we enjoy modding other single player games.

That all said, playing ESO as a soloist is the best I can do for now so that is where Buffy currently lives.
