Im willing to go very far. As someone who also does a fair bit of writing and thinking about stories, nothing pleases me greater than to discover the stories of games, whether that means going all out in a game, trolling its wiki, or both i'm more than willing to do it. I love it.
Perhaps you meant that to go in the "How far are you willing to go to play a game" thread?

I did, actually... i'm not sure how I ended up here. What day is it? Is it Christmas? There is still time!!!

I want a PC equivalent of the Steel Batallion controller, and a suitably badass mech game to make use of it.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain but with Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater's food/stamina system.

Thank god for mods, right? ...Right?

Mods can do many things. It depends on how much they support modding.

I wish there was a "realistic" modern post apocalyptic RPG where you can interact with just about everything in game and do whatever you want. The health system should be extremely realistic with the ability to lose limbs/appendages, have side effects from using medicines, side effects from things like blood loss, and perma death where you start over as a new person when you die.

You would spawn in a room in a relatively safe part of a town but with few supplies and only a bag with basic necessities (water filtering kit, knife or blade of some sort, bed roll/sleeping bag, some food, etc) with the starting supplies being of random different qualities so each time you spawn you could get really good equipment, really bad equipment, or a bit of both. Everything you interact with wolf affect future game play.

Ex: if you loot the starting "safe" area on your first run through then die, the next character will spawn in the safe area but all the loot (discluding starting equipment) would be with your now dead character or where you left it.

The maps should be procedurally generated with no specific missions just surging and maybe helping others out or trying to kill of raiders or become a raider and such. Maybe even have randomly generated factions.

You should be able to interact with other survivors and maybe even start your own faction.

Areas would have verrying levels of difficulty. From places like the spawn area where there are no threats to you but little to no loot. To relatively dangerous places with raiders or slavers roaming about but plenty of loot. All the way up to Chernobyl like areas where something like radiation or biological hazards are everywhere and one wrong step could kill you.

I think the apocalypse setting should be relatively realistic or maybe even randomized.

So if you get tired of playing in one world you could permanently reset it (or save it) and start a new one to play in.

Going along with the previous statement, new worlds/maps would have a chance at being made by different apocalypses that caused different things to happen. Maybe one was from a world war so all the buildings are destroyed and there are heavily irradiated areas from nuclear bombings or bio hazard areas from old attacks. Or maybe the world was ended by a plague where there are few survivors and the streets are littered with the dead, so you would have to avoid getting sick, but the infrastructure would be relatively intact as nothing had really been there to destroy it. 

I think this would be a pretty amazing game if it existed and I would most definitely buy it if it existed.

(Side note- modern apocalypse= guns and a realistic variety at that (as well as realistic ammo scarcity))

A fully-translated version of Elona, in English.

Or a substitute game of it that isn't ADoM :/
By which you mean a sequel to Elona Shooter, right? :P

Kidding. Both what you mean and what I mean would be great, though.

6 out of the 9 features you described (by my count, obviously it depends how much you subdivide it) would apply to Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead.

Yeah, you're describing Cataclysm: DDA with the monsters switched off and NPCs on.

Adding to the list

Can it be played one player/multiple local players and is it on console?

It's a single-player roguelike for the computer. Like Dwarf Fortress, it's more deep than it is pretty.

I'd like to see a game that explicitly makes fun of how absurd it is that food is a healing item in a lot of games (I think this might be the idea behind the crack pipes in Postal 2, but it's not clear, it's not explicit)

Nothing comes to mind, but I suspect that there are some games out there in which the protagonist is some form of comestible and it would not surprise if some instances included edibles as rejuvenants. Though this is all theoretical...

As for Cataclysm, I believe that it is on multiple platforms, but you will not likely see it on a console. Although it should be capable of functioning on a great variety of personal computers, I exopect that the system requirements are minimal so that it would function respectably on a decades-old machine that is not designed for gaming. Having said that, I do sometimes see slowdowns when I have thousands of items in close proximity.
