Flailing people to death with empty socks, though, that takes a lot of effort. Less so if the sock's made out of something interesting, but generally quite difficult.

I've always wanted to play a game where you start out as a soldier on the front lines, but as you move up ranks throughout the game it turns more into a strategy as you start to command squads, then companies, and ending with you general of the military. I've seen plenty of blends between strategy and FPS, but none quite like this.

This is exactly what I have wanted as well...start as a wee little man all the way up to leading a country (if its medieval based maybe) or something

Reminds me of Battleground Europe. Start out as a recruit serving as little more than fodder while learning the ropes, later become a sergeant with the ability to lead squads, after lieutenant you can potentially get into the high command and start managing brigades. Would obviously take dedicated play to become a general, though. All the while you're still perfectly capable of being a field soldier, and most don't even want to lead.

An Open World RPG based on Vampire: The Requiem where you play a vampire living in a randomly generated city, doing randomly generated quests for the various factions and siding with/being betrayed by randomly generated characters.

Basically Grand Theft Auto meets Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines meets a Roguelike.

Economy and City simulator.

Start as person in village/town/city.
Get or make job. (Even out of home? Why yes!)
Companies expand or are generated based on city need.
Basically very similar to how I imagine I'd play Dwarf Fortress 1.0.

No friggin' Capitalism II style time limit. (What about age?  That's what children are for! They affect demand, too, you know.)
Nor Tycoon style only one kind of business.

Hell, it'd even be nice if I could set up my own company chain of command.
(Drag and drop employee pictures? Or in the case of a roguelike, just picking them out of a list of lower employees)
But I'd be perfectly fine without.

I wish there was some sort of tribal simulator, where you control a nomadic tribe of pre-historic humans.  You cannot farm, you can only hunt, which means you have to move around from time to time to find game.  You can either ally or declare war on other tribes, using weapons like spears and axes ( no bows ).  Each of your tribals has a personality ( a la DF ) and each has a particular loyalty meter.  If the loyalty is high, you can control them like any normal character.  If their loyalty is low, they won't do actions they don't like, and may eventual rebel and leave your tribe, starting one of their own, and he will remember you.  That way, grudges and feuds between tribes can form.

I would like a survival horror game with extra emphasis on survival. You'd have to forage or hunt for food, drink, even sleep to stay alive. Wounds would strike a balance between realistic (lots of leg damage might force you to crawl, for example) and standard video game (can be healed quickly with the proper medicine). The game would focus less on slaying hundreds of monsters and more on a desperate struggle to stay alive and safe. There should also be a massive, Dwarf Fortress-like level of customization (skilled melee fighter, novice carpenter, adept pharmacist, etc). Three good scenarios:

You wake up on a deserted island. No other humans around, but definite weird stuff (perhaps aliens?)

You are in a forest, and all of your buddies are dead. Local wildlife has been mutated or driven bloodthirsty.

Zombie apocalypse in a big city. Classic slow zombies here, and a single bite can eventually kill zombify you if you don't have a cure in your inventory.

So a Day of the Triffids kinda game? In that the focus is on rebuilding society rather than killing all the bad guys.

Hmm, not really. The focus in my dream game(s) would be to either get the hell out of the area, or figuring out whatever is going on and stopping it. Lots of potential enemies, few resources to fight them with, and the possibility of exhaustion or starvation providing a background source of dread.

this game

I guess I'd like it if people would actually link to games as well.

Thank goodness I don't click on links in forums unless I know what they are.
