I've always wondered why TES characters suck so much bawlz and have the depth of a mirror. Surely it isn't that expensive to hire a competent writer.

2.) A combination of Tropico, SimCity Societies, and regular SimCity. Basically the same as the above, rxcept you have the alternate option of laying out zones as per the core SimCity series instead of placing the buildings directly. Buildings you place directly are co sidered government owned and require upkeep but you have a good deal of control over them (you can fire employees, reduce upkeep by lowering the quality of whatever they do, fiddle with other settings). Buildings that develop from zones are private, requiring no upkeep but offering less control and bring you less revenue; they generally perform whatever service they perform better than you can reliably afford to with govt. versions (in terms of those govt. buildings' upkeep settings) but never as good as you theoretically can if you set upkeep and quality to maximum.

Cities: Skylines

Can any and all buildings be specifically individually placed in Skylines (in addition to the possibility of those same buildings developing from zones)? Because if not then it's not at all what I'm talking about.

Depends on the mods. I myself use ones that allow me greater control over the transit systems; I'm 90% positive that there's a mod that allows you to individually place those sorts of buildings. If there isn't, I'm 95% certain that there's somebody who's already considering making such a mod.

Here's an idea:

a fantasy 4x game based partly on the Geryhawk and Planescape settings of Dungeons and Dragons, with play modes based on wars between Zagyg's free city of Greyhawk against Iuz's bandit empire and one based on the Obryith-era wars on Pazunia

Something WWII and unique, every game that has to do with WWII is either a shooter, an online shooter, a strategy game, or the occasional game about airplanes.

Just in a WWII sort of mood today.

I mean there is "Fire Emblem but set in a fantasy version of WW2."

Valkyrie Chronicles? I actually picked up expecting it be fast paced like Fire Emblem and it just isn't.

Heh heh, I mean I bought it the day that I made that post.

I am loving it so far actually.  The plot and the squad customization do seem designed to pad the game between battles but I've had such fun with the battles I don't really care.

If you haven't gotten to chapter 3 I would wait for that before making a judgement.  That's when you get actual character classes and the game opens up.  In the tutorial-ly missions all your soldiers are fast moving, low damage scouts, and the game doesn't explain that to you.  If you take advantage of your character's speeds its possible to beat the first 2 missions in like... 4 turns combined.  Not that I did, I died on the second mission doing something stupid.

Politician Puncher: The Game.

Disclaimer: Not digital.

Well, there's always the knockout game.

The only problem with targeting politicians in that game is you you either need high stealth and perception skills, or the Quick Escape and Unidentifiable perks. Otherwise your reward is going to be three walls, three hots, one cot and one gate for a few years.

Roll to Assassinate sounds like a neat forum game idea.

I'd like CKII, EUIII, VICKY 2, HOI3, and that planned Cold War game Paradox canned all rolled into one mega-game where you can take a country from essentially immediately after the fall of the Roman Empire to right before present day.

[NRDL]

A roguelike Chivalry style game with a good single player, where you basically have a sandbox world where you travel from fantasy town to city to village, challenging various anachronistic duelists ( samurai, gladiators, fencers, knights, etc. ), with in-game rankings and fame scores, with the goal being to become the most lethal fighter on the planet, and stay there.

 

[SOLDIER First]

Literally any open-world game but as a first-person virtual-reality sim. With settings from "base game" to "why are there Super Mutants in my real life" in terms of realisticness.

[itisnotlogical]

Dark Souls with randomly-generated environments that are somehow as good as hand-crafted ones. possibly achieved through the use of wizard magic.

I would play a game where you manage a settlement of survivors in a post apocalyptic setting. you would be able to maintain the community by having people assigned to jobs such as scavenging,foraging for and water, and guards to protect your settlement from raiders, rival settlements, or a pack of mutated monsters. the people would have randomly generated personalities, appearances,etc. your settlement would grow either from natural births or from random encounters ending with groups of survivors joining you. you can assign the land in the settlement for different purposes such as housing or crafting.

This is probably doable as a DF mod

EDIT:
As for games I wish existed, is a GTA or Postal 2 style mayhem simulator that's gory enough to make me actually puke, and almost ruin my keyboard and/or monitor, too mich to ask?

EDIT:
Another idea: A point-and-click/shooter hybird. Most puzzles can be bypassed by selecting the gun and using ot on the character blocking your way.
