D&D 5E Video Game Worlds You Wish Were D&D 5E Settings

Obligatory shout out to the eternal skies of Arcadia. Once a Blue Rogue, always a Blue Rogue.

Norrath. Lots of good memories there, even if i look back and think about the actual gameplay we did for 5 years and thought it was amazing(" you mean we sit and camp here and one dude brings monsters to us like items from a buffet, rinse repeat?")

It's a pretty generic world, complete with huge pantheon and tradtional baddies, but it was put together well.

There was actually an Everquest book that came out for 3.5.
It was pretty good, but I never bought it because no one else in my group played EQ.
I'm sure you can find it online and conversion would probably be fairly simple.

I always thought a more rough-and-tumble medieval version of Pokemon would be fun. Rapidash-mounted knights and their trained companions fighting off hordes of Geodudes from the Kanto region! Urban adventures when the high priestess of the temple of Pokemon healing is replaced by a scheming Ditto!

 

[The Crimson Binome]

I mentioned it in the other thread, but I'm a big fan of the old Phantasy Star series, so I would like a setting based in the Algol System.

Since nobody else has mentioned Warcraft has an RPG and a D20 version.

Thedas. Because I'm not sure I'll ever be able to convince my group to try the actual Dragon Age RPG.

Ivalice, from Final Fantasy Tactics. I Would love to play in/run a game set there, but would never work on a conversion myself.

Chrono Trigger. Time travel in a setting that can go from Savage Frontier to Ebberon to HiTech Future and back.

 

[Beleriphon]

And I totally support Beleriphon's suggestion of Spiderweb's worlds; Avernum in particular would fit perfectly.

I once emailed Jeff Vogel about that, years ago now back when I think it was still Exile 3: Runined World, and he said that D&D was a definitely inspiration for the game play and ideas.

Baldur's gate !
Wait, what ?


More seriously, there could be some use of the Ultima games, even if they are pretty much vanilla fantasy.
