I was going to say I'd love to see a party based RPG where you're the crew of a ship (space or sea) including tactical ship battles and a freeform structure like Elite, but this:

a space game where you could breach ships and take them over with boarding parties would be cool. Heat Signature is like that but you're just one guy and the game isnt as fleshed out as it could be

Yeah this is also a great concept. FTL expanded into a full Pirates! style sandbox.


I think the closest we've got is Space Hulk and the videogame versions are mediocre.

My favorite part of Mass Effect 2 was when the aliens busted into the Normandy and started carrying everybody off and Joker was the POV: crawling around, losing his poo poo and getting taunted by the UI.

It was fun, tense, and I've been looking for something like that in other games (maybe I need to play SS-17?) I said then I would play an entire game of that moment, and I still would. Maybe even a small group of folks trying to escape a situation (please let it not be zombies, I'm sick of them) that can't be blasted through:

Scenario A: Wrong place, wrong time, wrong side of a rebellion: You and your friends live in a county made up of small towns/villages during post-Revolutionary War/Civil War/Modern Times. People in the area start the Whiskey Rebellion/Are in General Sherman's Way/do something stupid and President loving Washington/General Sherman/General {make up a name} sends a force effective enough to pulverize everything in the area that fully intends to (yes, I know the Whiskey Rebellion fled with their tails between their legs before anything got serious.) Any contribution to the renegade efforts would be limited to what these characters could do, and the goal in each case is to either escape or enable your friends/family to escape before everything is burned to the ground. I guess there's other situations you could pull from history which would be the same way from invasions to regimes forming police states.

Scenario B: Natural Disaster: You are not Gilgamesh, but thanks to storms (Hurricanes or otherwise) your poo poo is about to get underwater, and not because you flushed. Rule of law vanishes over time, the water rises and river currents become violently rapid. Survivors start to tend to forming into factions and gangs, and your character(s) will need to survive and keep look out for each other in time for the National Guard and FEMA to arrive, provide aid and establish order (which won't happen immediately when they arrive)

I love DF, but it broke my brain a little bit when the patch came in adding layers instead of just digging to the right. Since then I followed Letsplays but played it far less myself.

A game halfway between The Sims and something like Dwarf Fortress/Rimworld. Like, you create and customize maybe a dozen people that are very distinct from each other and then the gameplay's like DF but with a small handful of customized individuals instead of dozens of mostly-interchangeable people.

I would kill for a Sims game where they have more robust AI and you don't have to babysit them constantly to do even basic things. Also the ability to just skip though the sleep cycle if your sims are all asleep.

I remember fast forwarding through the sleep cycle and it automatically stopping in the morning tho... but yea you're right about the other thing.

You can fast-forward but it still takes a couple minutes even on the highest speed. The Sims has a lot of potential but I've never found any of them fun to play.

Yeah this is basically what I meant with my post. I love creating Sims in The Sims 4, it has probably my favorite character creator, and watching them go about their business and interact with each other is neat. But I'd much prefer if they were mostly autonomous and you could just kind of sit back and watch them do stuff instead of having to manage so much.
