Since their is a lot of talk about fantasy RPGs recently with the news of Dragon Age 4, why not just straight up ask, what would be your dream Fantasy RPG? What would you want if you were in charge or an experienced team and had a lot of money?

Would you make something traditional Tolkienesque (which I just learned is an actual word in the Oxford Dictionary), explore your own local cultures history and folklore, modern urban fantasy etc? Would you want it to be turn-based, action, card based? Levelling, romances etc. Whatever (:

I think my dream Fantasy RPG would be:
No traditional levelling and focus on horizontal skills instead (so focusing on blacksmithing Iron will improve your skills, with Schools and teachers that can help).
Also related but nothing like Iron < Steel < Orichalcum (high quality brass) like in games like Elder Scrolls but instead each armour having advantages and disadvantages and variants (many based off real world armours) like Steel is better at slicing and resistant to wear and tear but Iron Armour is easier to repair and better at absorbing shock damage from blunt weaponry.
Minimal item management.
Not open world but several mid-sized maps connected to a central hub city/world with dungeons.
No Elves
Yes to Goblins and Hobgoblins, even if their a species of highly intelligent balled carrion Vulture-cats.
Showing technological advancements and having Hand Cannons and steamboats available.
Many varied romance options with character with the own defined preferences and sexualities that tell deep stories that don't always work out.
Rival Guilds where if you join one, it blocks your from join the other with counterpart storylines.
Character customization where you can choose your character's sexuality at the beginning of the game or you play as a wlw woman.
Hot, swampy bogs, long rivers, deep jungles, a vast area of monsters along with cold tundra mountain cities and Iberian-like locals.
Piracy is common
No inherently evil species
The treatment of Dragons being an allegory for the treatment and eugenics behind pure breeding dogs like the English Bulldog and animal abuse.
Multiple Companions at a time with our 2-3 unique storylines, dialogue and conversations with each other.
Able to make small campfires with your companions with optional cooking minigame, playing music, telling ghost stories or past adventures etc.
Political thriller about corrupt government officials screwing over and abusing the populace and the working class having enough.
Dimetrodons
Classic card game minigames at the inns and pubs.
Not set in England.
Tomb Raiders not treated as heroic

Echoes: “Fuck power fantasies and virtual dolls… let me talk about my power fantasy and cuckold fetish.”

These fuckers will spend hours cooking in a video game, but somehow survive on a steady diet of microwave slop and fast food.
