Video Games You Wish Existed

I'd like a successor in the Dragon Age franchise that combined the best concepts of each but did them correctly. DA had the memorable, lovable (in more ways than one) NPCs that everyone craves from BG3 but years earlier. It had open world that did change with your choices, which could be improved even more with side-quest grind closer to DA:Origins than the later sprawl of DA:Inquisition. Somewhere in those first three is the right balance for combat -- as I said, take their best concepts but do them right.

They had great worldbuilding, conflict that wasn't just on a predictable good-evil axis, fantastic NPCs, hit the right level of character advancement along different paths in the maligned DA2 (which brought us Varric, who the DA2 version still beats BG3's Astarion as my favorite male CRPG sidekick NPC, though Astarion edges out the DA:I version).

Have you tried any of the new, uh, 'craftlikes?

And give up my 9 year old forever world with topped gear, a giant network of tunnels, three custom villages and a kickass black castle?

Specific Question:

If they made a big CRPG based on any of the official 5E campaign adventures, which one would you prefer and why?

Making Rime of the Frostmaiden as an Icewind Dale sequel would work well from a marketing perspective, and the early to mid game has a decently open sandbox quality to it. The last couple of chapters might need some work to break up the two-long-dungeonsness of it all.
