1. Fallout: The Old Gods
I've wanted to play this game since I first played Fallout 1. The Fallout world of post-atomic war survival seemed to my young mind the only place that living out my life long fantasy (I was only like 12, so "life long fantasy" isn't all that big a deal) seemed possible. And what was my life long fantasy? Well, to be honest it was getting with She-Ra and beating up Skeletor. My parents often informed me that I had unrealistic childhood goals. My other childhood fantasy was the one where the ancient Mediterranean cultures survived and flourished unchanged. How does that work with Fallout? Simple: in a world of nuclear explosions and total war, one of the few places that would be left largely unmolested would be the Mediterranean. Well, maybe a few of those countries might catch a nuke, God knows there's a few countries that wouldn't mind melting Libya or Israel down into nothing but flat glass. The point is, that despite society being destroyed, the Mediterranean area would be the perfect place for it to be rebuilt. In the same way that small boats were able to connect vastly different cultures thousands of years ago, the same could easily be done again. And with people more likely to settle by the water, it's easy to imagine that a few hundred years after a nuclear war, you could have large cities popping up again on the coasts of Greece, Egypt, Italy, and others. How is this my fantasy? Because friggin think about, that's why. A Fallout game based in the rebuilt Mediterranean would combine the future, the retro futuristic tech that Fallout is famous for, and ancient culture together. Rather than cowboys wandering the deserts, Fallout: The Old Gods would contain Greek Hoplites once more traversing the seas on sail boats to do battle with their neighboring Trojans with laser rifles and power armor. And why? To appease the Gods. If there are two cultures that the world seems to be obsessed with of late, it's the possible culture of the post apocalyptic world, and the militaristic, religious zealots of old Greece. Fallout: The Old Gods could combine them both. And to those of you who would say "we got that with Caesar's Legion" I would say, "shut up, no we didn't." Caesar's Legion was a poor port, a copy and paste from Fallout 3 that barely fit into the story of New Vegas. What's worse, their philosophies made zero sense and they acted like lunatics. They were simply raiders with Roman names. If you wish to compare that to men in power armor living in the Pantheon, worshiping Poseidon, (shut up, I know that's Rome, I am cross fantasizing here) I would dare to call you a lunatic as well.
