Computer Games I'd like to see

I'm going to organize this by Game Genre first and then Story Genre and list some similar games and things I was dissatisfied with on that game. Sometimes I'll list specific world settings I'd like to see.



  • Party-Builder Roleplaying Games
    • Examples: 
      • Baldur's Gate series (Bioware/Larian)
      • Pillars of Eternity series (Obsidian)
      • Neverwinter Nights series (Bioware/Obsidian)
      • Shadowrun series (Harebrained Games)
      • Knights of the Old Republic (Bioware/Larian)
    •  Traits:
      • Main Character crafted by player.
      • Companions with side quests
      • Long stories
      • Town/Castle/Base Building minigames
    • Story Genres I'd like to see:
      • Fantasy 16th to 17th century
        • Example Tabletop: 7th Sea
        • Existing CRPG: Greedfall 
          • Greedfall world lore is a bit thin.
          • Cultures are a bit monolithic hat wearers.
        • Specific Settings I'd like to see:
          • 7th Sea
      • Weird West
        • Example Tabletop: Deadlands
        • Existing CRPG: Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare
          • Can't create your own character
        • Specific Settings I'd like to see:
          • Deadlands
      • Superhero
        • Example Tabletop: Champions; Mutants and Masterminds
        • Existing CRPG: Freedom Force
          • Making your own character isn't really practical
          • Horrible UI
          • Humor didn't age well
          • Buggy 
        • Upcoming Hope: Sentinels of Freedom
      • Wu Xia
        • Example Tabletop: Feng Shui
        • Existing CRPGs: Jade Empire
          • Can't design your own avatar, just select from pre-gens.
          • Focus is the clearly dominant playstyle. Would be nice if Body or Soul playstyles were as effective.
      • Urban Horror/Fantasy
        • Example Tabletop: East Texas University, Chronicles of Darkness
        • Existing CRPGs: Vampire: Bloodlines
          • This is just a really good game. 
        • Specific Settings I'd like to see:
          • East Texas University 
      • Samurai
        • Example Tabletop: Legend of Five Rings
        • Existing CRPGs: Way of the Samurai
          • Haven't played it much, so can't say much of what I don't like. 
        • Specific Settings I'd like to see:
          •  Legend of Five Rings: Rokugan
