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

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.
I don't feel the need to argue every point, and we've each made up our mind, but...
In my opinion it's really not woke-like, and as for chauvinism, it's never explicitly said it's bad. It's just pointing out that Harry is a bit old-fashioned.
Yup, she can be annoying, especially early on. But once everyone is more established, it gets a lot better, as I recall.
Fair enough, I'd sort of forgotten. Because the Christian Knight gets the most page time, and is the most badass and holy. And is a great character.
Again, to each their own.
The dude just make a republicans quip in the book I’m on and Harry full out lectures himself like a gender studies student about chauvinism. It’s woke lite being generous. It doesn’t have mass gay shit everywhere, but it’s still 2000s liberal and worse so than Harry Potter.
I’m 5 books in and it hasn’t gotten better
