Well, the Witcher Saga was actually there before GOT.:areukiddingme:

I would love to see CDPR do a old WOD style game that allowed you to choose your character (vampire, mage, werewolf, etc), but use the OLD STYLE wod books up to when the OWOD ended,NOT the new toned down politically correct continued old and new books that are made now. Using the amazing Vampire the masquerade:bloodlines as a springboard for ideas.
I think Tabletop RPG's are the best solution, they give flexability to do what you want while at the same time have a whole universe of lore and setting to work with.
Other IPS I would LOVE to see CDPR do
Fallout (only if bethesda has a hands off aproach and CDPR pretends nothing came out after fallout 2)
Shadowrun
Pathfinder
Ravenloft
Plansecape setting (would love an actual sequel to planescape torment in the planescape setting and not just a "spiritual successor" marketing BS)
Outside that I would love to see some games that cover these themes
Mystery
Horror

I'd love a Paranoia game, but making one properly would be impossible.
And besides, it'd end up as Ultraviolet clearance anyway. >_>

That's a very bold claim. In this sense everything is a derivative of something else. However you are factually wrong. First Witcher book was made in 1992. First Song of Ice and Fire book was made in 1996.
well every fantasy media is a derivative of JRR Tolkiens books.

not sure if serious or troll. but funny.
That's true for 99.9% or fantasy, but there's always that 0.1%.
Ugh, there's so much wrong with this tread I don't know where to start.
@xxTotexx
Game of Thrones isn't just a television series, it is based on a series of novels called the Song of Ice and Fire series.
@animalfather
As others have pointed out, Sapkowski published his earliest works in the Witcher universe way back in 1986, so the claim that he cribbed heavily from George R. R. Martin just doesn't hold weight.
Furthermore, "every fantasy media" is not a derivative of Tolkien's books. I see more similarities between Sapkowski and the Brothers Grimm than I do Tolkien. The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind shares very little in common with The Lord of The Rings, and Raymond E. Feist's Kelewan novels are modeled after feudal Japan. Tolkien didn't invent the concept of magic, nor was he the first person to write an epic tale on the confrontation between good and evil. He himself had recourse to many different mythologies including Germanic works like Beowulf, and his personal faith heavily informed his literature. Every good author writes what he knows, and since Tolkien was a Catholic philologist specializing in Germanic literature, he wrote a fantasy series that was inspired by that.
There are books out there which discuss the early years of the genre and many of the different authors - besides Tolkien - who contributed to the field. You might want to try Literary Swordsmen and Sorcerers: the Makers of Heroic Fantasy.

i would like that, with maybe an investigation feel like LAnoire. *excuse me while i run for cover*
Honestly for me LA Noire wasn't that bad. Though it had MAJOR issues.
Eh, I personally wouldn't be interested. Actually, no, I hope they never make an adaptation.
Marcin Iwinski said in Gamespot interview they want to have complete freedom over some possible franchise. With GOT they won't have that.

Yeah and tbh It took me forever to get a perfect detective score.XD
They don't have such freedom with 20778 as well. Mike Pondsmith keeps CDPR on a rather decent leash so they can't go to crazy with the game.
Uh, You have a source for that? CDPR have full creative control as far as I know, just as they did with the Witcher series.

Yeah, I agree with @Dragonbird. Unless I see a source for this, I am going to go ahead and say you are incorrect.
CDPR bought the license to exclusively make games for the Witcher franchise, with complete creative control. That's why they were able to take whatever liberties they wanted with the franchise, including bringing Geralt back from the dead. I'm pretty sure that they would have made a similar arrangement with Pondsmith, who incidentally is less well known than Sapkowski and doesn't have a literary corpus spanning decades to draw from.
