For me I think Wheel of Time would be a great Skyrim type of open world game.
Ringworld
Number of the Beast by Heinlein
Still haven’t read Elric yet but it sounds like it would make a good game.
And out of left field…..UBIK by PkD

I still don’t get why people love Dresden files so much, it’s decent urban fantasy, but it’s 2000s leftist and the writer can’t help but be cringe about it a few times in every single book.
Because it's an actually good book about a wizard named Harry
Still girl bosses, still inept men, still virtue signaling, still leftist drivel inserted into every single book.
Hey, to each their own, but I don't know why some people insist on focusing on the negatives so hard.
It's got supernatural elements, and most (not all) girlbossing can be explained on that front. You've got otherworldy Faerie Queens, you've got valkyries, werewolves, vampires, sorceresses, and the like.
As for inept men, I'm not even sure who you mean. Harry fucks up sometimes, but it's usually because he's shoved in way over his head against incredibly powerful odds, and doing the best he can. He's also very strong himself, so needs that bit of balance from impossible choices and bad positions. You've got Knights of the Cross; divinely blessed soldiers of God. You've got supernatural hitmen. Ridiculously powerful old wizards.
It's just a high power level world in general, and you have competent men and very powerful women.
It’s woke-lite, the writer can’t go a book without talking about male chauvinism and at least 2 more cringe topics per book.
The girl cop is the most egregious one
You mean the knights where only one of three actually is a Christian? Those knights?
It’s early marvel humor levels and has decent world building, but it’s just as woke as the majority of shit out currently.
