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

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.

"I kin the words!!!"
 


The old Magic: The Gathering world, before the events of the Weatherlight Saga. The whole plot relating to the Brother's War, the subsequent Dark, and the Ice Age. There's a lot of really cool stuff going on; even before the War itself the continent of Terisiare could be a great place for a campaign setting.

Arcanum, from the eponymous game, offers a unique blend of steampunk and fantasy that I think would work great with 5e. Ogres with top hats. Doesn't get better than that.

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

Final Fantasy, Elder Scrolls, Warcraft

Games that could possibly work
Might & Magic, Myst

For sci-fi settings that could have magic injected into them:
Destiny, Halo, Battlestar Galactica, Firefly, Fallout, Star Craft

Assassin's Creed, believe it or not, would be nifty. Maybe not the literal settings, but the overall concept of plugging in, Total Recall style, and reliving another life - except instead of a past life in Earth's history, an alternate life in another reality, a fantasy reality. :D

Me and my friends tried to mix systems a bit and use Owod rules to play a game where the animus would send you back to a d&d 3.5 world it never really got going though... I think I may pitch that idea again...

I keep wanting to run a D&D game that is actually the 5th iteration of the Matrix as the machines tried to figure out how to pacify humanity they thought MMOs would do it. "Leveling up" was part and parcel with becoming aware of the Matrix and mastering control over it.

An old group of mine did a brief World of Darkness campaign that pretty much was the Matrix. Vampires were a computer virus infecting the minds of some of the coppertops, werewolves were coppertops who had had their minds partially co-opted by sentient programs, mages were the freed minds like Morpheus and Neo and such, wraiths were coppertops whose bodies had died and been recycled but left a lingering bit of sentient program behind for whatever reason, changelings...we never got to those because we could just never get in to Changeling: The Dreaming.
