It would be just simply set in that world with constant intrigue and jockeying for the throne.. Something similar to but far deeper than the system used by Shadow of Mordor.. I don't want the game to tell the story we have seen play out over the last decade, or any set story really. I want to play a part, which can either be a small part or a large part, in the world that has already been built. I want the option of being a slave owner in Essos, Joining the nights watch, being a spy and controlling ravens and selling information and secrets, being a witch, a sellsword, or even just a farmer. I want to just live in that world. I want the chance to be a soldier in a large army that fights in a major battle . I want the chance to own a brothel. I want the chance to grow my house into a major player in the world, to have kings and lords call on me for counsel and support. I want a chance to become a lord. To become a king. To make laws, bring my enemies to their knees, or taste my blood on the end of an assassin's blade. But I don't want it to be easy or preordained or for there to be a set way to do it. I want every decision I make to have a chance to fail. I don't want to know numbers or how to game the system, I want to learn what I can from speaking with NPC's who can talk about what is happening in the world as it changes and evolves. I want the people in different cities to live by different rules and have different ways of life.
I feel like the tech is there (or close to it) if the time can be taken to really give this kind of thing the depth it would need to really be what I have drooled over in those aforementioned dreams. I doubt it will be anything like that, but damn it would be cool as hell. I kinda hope that's where games are headed. I hope eventually AI gets to the point where games don't need a story, just a world to live in where the story grows organically.
