5 Book Settings Ripe for an Open World RPG

If books are going to be translated to the land of the seen, why not video games? What better palette for beloved stories exists? A place where your imagination can be fed and you can not only experience the story that you loved, but potentially you can get more detail out of it. You become the character, you are the one the whole story is centered around.

People might diasgree but i believe Harry potter has huge potential. More so then any other i can think of anyway.

It has the huge fan base and its "gripping" story and i cannot think of a better example

NewMonday4815d ago (Edited 4815d ago )

they could make the player play the role of a new student, he can chose one of the four Houses explore the secrets of the castle and area, i think their is much more potential for adventure and danger even after Voldemort

and also the world of the Dark Tower would very interesting.

Britainz-Fin3st4815d ago

I agree.
The universe is already there waiting to be explored.
Theirs so much more they could add.

You could even use kinect/ eye toy for a wand, make certain spells have to use sound + wand movement etc.

It could be set before the books to place, when voldemort would be at the height of hes power and that way could have more story which wouldnt effect the storyline.

Or perhaps you could chose to be good or evil, become an auror or a deatheater, theres lots you could do..

All that and no mention of The Witcher. Even Obama was given a copy of the novel.

PixL4815d ago

Probably most people don't know that the game is based on a series of novels. There's also a movie/TV series but not a very good one, though fans should watch.

Anyway, isn't the article about possible games, not existing ones?

MS could compress their games on disc

Skyrim is still my favorite ES game. I’m playing through it again right now since I never finished it.

jznrpg22d ago

Morrowind is by far my favorite. But I’m getting old and played Daggerfall Morrowind and Oblivion before Skyrim

ActualWhiteMan32d ago

Yeah totally. Definitely won’t be hacking it Nintendo 🤞🏻

Fallout and Skyrim show us that talented developers make great games when you leave them alone

That judicious lack of oversight permeated everything in Bethesda's RPGs, in a positive fashion.

Christopher62d ago

I much prefer a left alone Obsidian and Larian Studios. Bethesda's formula has grown old for me.

anast60d ago

Larian hit another level with DOS:2 and then took it even further with BG3. They do high quality work.

jznrpg61d ago (Edited 61d ago )

Skyrim was a letdown compared to previous games and so was Fallout 4

Kosic60d ago

I agree, I found it an interesting game. But nowhere near worth the hype (unless you include mods)

dmonee60d ago

Skyrim blew my mind when it released. That game took me to the gaming, promisedland. Going back to it when it was updated for the PS5, it felt slightly rough around the edges, but great for its time

TheColbertinator60d ago

We should leave Obsidian alone. Bethesda on the other hand should be kept under constant psychiatric observation.

anast60d ago

Skyrim feels like the game was made in a hurry with a disorganized team.
