Video Games You Wish Existed

Yeah I know DDO had real time combat, but man I loved it.

Though, I heard the neverwinter MMO was more turn based and adhered to 4E, I just never played it.

I don't think so. I am pretty sure it was (is; both games are still going) standard MMO combat.

On the subject of CRPGs, I would love a modern Freedom Force. Capes isn't bad, buy doesn't quite scratch the itch.

I would love to see a Mass Effect game that takes place a century or two before humanity joined the galactic community. You play as one of the different alien species with a variety of backgrounds and collect a rag tag team of outcasts to make a name from yourself across the galaxy and uncover various plots and mysteries along the way.

A true skilled based FPS. A modern Q3A, dare I say even CPMA, but with some major backing in terms of pushing it as a sport.

Some kind of 40K. I'm long done with buying the plastic.

Hear me out.

RPG

With strong social and interaction engine, not just a dialogue tree that repeats over and over. And please, don't turn allies into non-entities/non-characters once they are recruited. Ideally allies would still be interacted with and they would keep their own distinct own goals and storylines.

Generous virtual paper doll and dress up elements. I don't wanna wait half the gameplay before being able to engage

Important, let me play the main character as fully non-action snd support. Should be able to never make an attack and never blast. And make it easy to pull off. (Not in difficulty but in accessibility. Be generous with recruitable party mates that can carry one's weight. If I have to seriously own a weapon and spent tens of levels as a killing machine before being allowed to play a weak and vulnerable main character it isn't what I'm looking for. Ideally some kind of noncombat rogue, pet master, purely utility mage, or even lilly white mage.

Focus on exploration, interaction, puzzle solving, even intrigue. Combat is unavoidable to have, but please don't have scripted death or life combats within the first ten minutes (I'm looking at you Birthright). I don't want an action prologue. The more optional combat is, the better.

Btw, prefer turn based combat, but real time is fine provided we aren't into hack and slash or full on action RPG territory.

As for graphics, I'm fond of cell-shaded with anime aesthetics. Not an strict requirement though.

I'm fine with romancing options, but better if they are not mandatory and you can choose your options. Please no harem dynamics, love triangle is fine, maybe a three point star, but no more.

And well, please don't make it into a waifu factory. Have diverse companions, don't make everybody just "generic anime girl that embodies someone's fetish number n".

I am not going to tag him but Sagiro was a dev on Freedom Force and its sequel. You know may know that already of course, but I imagine a lot of people here do not.

Imagine Soul Caliber, but an open world MMO with contained linear stories for each Origin (character), where the fighting is literally just Soul Caliber fighting mechanics, and you can earn rewards by taking on the role of minions of Nightmare and try to kill heroes in PVP.

I do sometimes miss DDO. That was a fun game.

It’s still active, FWIW. And still fairly fun if you have a few friends to play it with. They put Sharn in the game a few years ago, and they keep updating it with new content.

Wasnt there a neverwinter night MMO?

Neverwinter is a decent MMO, but it’s not really similar to NWN.

A Final Fantasy 17 that is an actual Final Fantasy game and not a Devil May Cry for Dummies.

A first person updated version of S.O.S from the SNES era
