Okay, this is gonna be tough to explain. Rereading Watership Down makes me want a game that has something to do with being in a large, diverse, and mysterious world where any bastions of security and safety are far flung and the spaces in between are filled in with beautiful, yet deadly landscapes. It could be a strategy game where you lead a group of animals to create a new community, or an immersive rpg.

tldr; A game that makes you feel small, yet making a difference.

Sounds sort like dwarf fortress only with you leading the dwarves to the embark point yourself instead of just magically appearing there. Hell, take it and make it so that before you even set out you just have one dwarf you're in control of who has to go out and recruit the other six from the population of the city, shop around for (or barter for, or steal) the supplies, and plot the course. If that doesn't make you feel small, well, I don't really know what will.

A first person game where you start out modestly as a peasant in a medieval village, town, castle or city etc. One with life, a dynamic economy, other nations either warring or signing truces, conducting trade etc. Bandits and outlaws, a justice system. A perfect emulation and simulation of medieval life. And you can play any role you want with great depth. From farming to inspiring a revolution and overthrowing a king. Something with growing towns and places that are built by the people who live there and a dynamic population. The ability to expand technology or build your own kingdom. With the proper pacing for these kinds of events that take time, planning, luck, skill etc. Raise huge armies and march on enemies, lead small units. Be able to sneak through cities and steal valuables. And all of this as a first person game that you personally interact with. Not silly dialogue options with a static NPC and adhoc levels

But I also want it to look good, because silly though it may be I think graphics are important for immersion on some level. Sure, I can get immersed in DF with my imagination, but its not the same.

So someone making DF ~0.5's adventure mode but prettier?
I think we have a difference of opinion though, because in my opinion, with something as complex as this, immersion would be ruined by the frequent issues with animation/graphics that would doubtless pop up. Like in TeS where you're pretty into going through a dungeon, then you accidentally walk into a corpse and it gets stuck on something and starts flailing around with collision stuff. Kind of awkward when it's meant to be a consistent, sort-of-realistic world.

Well I am talking about a perfect world here where bugs never happen

A game wich in its base is Scrumbleships w/o bullshit and Tekkit levels of complexity, Blockade runner quality combat. A New Zero physics and graphics style. Newtonian motion and gravity.
On a higher level its like Star Ruler with EU III/HoI levels of strategy and difficulty.
Based on the stability of an organisation, players can attempt to break away from an organisation.
Realistic radio communication, realistic construction(weld shit together, scaffolding, etc)
AI citizens being quite dumb but still capable of rebelling, encouraging the use of robots wich require lots of maintenance.

This based on (as in: using the world of ) either real medieval history or A Song of Ice and Fire (preferably the first) would be my dream game.
Random world generation is fun, but breaks immersion too much.

I want a roguelike where you play as a hunter. E.g. You get to play as a predatory creature that can stalk and kill it's prey, drag it back to it's den, etc. Kind of think Predator 1/2, or maybe just as a vampire. I just wanna get my hunt on.

Firefly's "Stronghold", but set in the Colonial era with muskets and cannon.  The idea pounced upon me earlier today when I was playing some (poorly designed) Flash games.

More games like Romance of the Three Kingdoms 7, 8 and 10...  well better ones at least.

Hmm. Well, you can pretty much do Unreal World this way. You're Human, but you don't have to play up that part if you don't want to. You can even find a nice cave to use as a Den!

[Smashness]

Damnit, what I want is the Spore that we were promised when it was being developed.

Also, a game where it's our universe, but you have control over everything ever.

Let me make you sad by saying that the spore we were promised was actually being made and was actually coming out and it was actually good but EA said NO.

So what does LCS stand for?

Cause a quick google search didn't find anything.
