While sharing a couple of drinks with my mates we came into this discussion about Mass effect 3 and were the boundaries of fan fiction and when does it become lore. This sparked a pretty awsome discussion of if you where to make a game what would it be like.My game went something like this
Story;
The overarching story would involve (you guessed it) humans but this time from another perspective. It a bit like futuristic skyrim where humans are almost near extinction and have been reduced to nomads because somewhere down the line they pissed of a lot a of alien races by declaring war and genocide for a couple of decades.Why they went to war with everyone else will feed into the main story and the new threat.
The story starts off with the player (male or female) playing as a child in a settlement with a couple of families until an attack on the colony. Of which you and a couple of kids are left for dead until a race which is sympathetic towards humans discovers you upon investigating the attack and remains. From there the aliens take you to their planet where they raise you until you graduate form an academy where you'll be let out into the world. Then the game lets you pick between three single player campaigns depending on what you want to be between an agent(a mix between a spectre and a gramatton cleric for those who have seen equilibrium), a soldier or mercernary/ smuggler (Han solo mixed with boba fett).
That was just a rough idea and I know its probably been done in another game better but its just nice to let your creative side out once in a while and brainstorm.
So heres my question to you my fellow escapist if you could make a game what would it be about ? If you have any improvements I would love to hear them.. Go on have a go , worst case scenario a game developer actually thinks its a good idea.

If I had to pick I would probably choose valve, 2K or bethasda to be my publisher because of their hands free and laid back attitudes towards their devs. But yea I would have definately shot Kotic in the quads if I was working with him.
