How to make OG better.

Imagine if for ten years, instead of making what they did, if wolfire made a world generator like minecraft in that the world generates before you and you can go back to any area you have previously been. imagine if you could find villages and cities. and you can buy or build a house and build a trading empire or violently take over the town and become a feared king across several villages in your domain and then protect them. or be a warriror and fight for the king and go on missions. you could find companions and quests... imagine...

basically Overgrowth + Minecraft + Mount and Blade + Skyrim.
It would take a few years to make and serious engline changes if not a new one entirely... but would that not be a game that people could sink thousands of hours into?
What is your thoughts?

If you're interested, there is a mod that does some of these things... check out the Undergrowth mod in the workshop for a sort-of-like-that experience, though with heavy focus on random generation. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1404256666

Fallout 4 did get very repetitive. "Go to here and kill ghoul/raider/super mutant" or "stay here and defend from ghoul/raider/super mutant" but what if in this game, it was "Go here and obtain this land" "go here and protect this land" or "get rid of this guy" or "obtain this object" or others and they would all seriosly affect the world. you can have various ways of completeing said tasks such Violent options, diplomatic options, economic options, stealth options, (special forces stuff)
maybe to take land, you can start a seige or diplomatically take it or simply kill everyone on said land. But most importantly, the quests would need to have meaning... take this land because it has resources we need or would give us access to rivers for trade and such.... get rid of this person because they are hurting our cause. so on and so fourth. But every task you take and every way you can complete it will have a real affect, good or bad.

And the factions would have different forms of government, Democratic republic. Constitutinal republic. Constitutinal Democracy, Socialist state, Communist state, Dictatorship, Monarchy, Oligarchy. and all the various combinations. They can have differing policies such as allowing their citizens to own weapons (Makes land easier to defend/harder to take and makes resistance groups stronger which is good if you are trying to overthrow the government) and other different laws and such.

Yeah, you can be the belevolent king/emperor/president/dictator/tsar/sultan/whatever or the blood thirsty evil king/whatever or an assasin or a buisnessman or a diplomat or whatever else. you dont have to be the guy who just shoots stuff until he gets his way.

and yeah it would be interesting to play as bunny hitler and send death squads to kill the race of rats or something

And different religions could be added to the game and you could go on crusades.
i personally think the game would be infinitely more interesting if there are many many different religions in game but only one of them is true and you have to study them to figure out which one is true.maybe if you can find the true religion, you can study it and receive blessings... or study the games version of satanism and become a feared demon like beast which can kill anyone unless they are blessed by the true religion or something.

you can go on missions for not only governments and buisnesses, but also from religious figures. Like you can do missionary work or kill infidels and such.
