Two minds on this: I want either something totally original and weird, a dreamquest where Kadath really is unknown, and everything's fresh and original. Throw in cruel survival mechanics, an anal attention to detail, and a small theatre of conflict that is massively reactive and receptive to your choices. No Elves, no Dwarves, no Old Norse or Celtic inspiration, no cutesy American Buffy humour, or any of the usual shit we have to trawl through. Make combat fucking brutal, I mean a real meatgrinder where its almost not a choice, more something you sometimes have to risk but never would unless forced by circumstance.
On the other hand i'd like to strip away all the shit, play a gargantuan barbarian with a fifty pound axe or sword, piles of gold to claim, enemies to crush and see driven before you, half naked chainmail bikini clad women to lament as you get down to what comes naturally after pillaging, some weird old world setting, with forgotten remnants of Lovecraftian gods, forbidden shadow creatures, evolving ape men, monstrous creatures and demons from the id to combat. Bustling ancient cities full of life, grime and splendour that you tread beneath your sandalled feet. Enemies who are of ancient noble species whose line faltered and failed, who once ruled the earth but now are a few rare individuals mourning their lost glory.
Fucking, fighting, drinking, fist fighting, smoking the black lotus leaf, feasting on slaughtered pig, raiding tombs and stealing the treasures of bygone days, seizing crowns from the severed heads of effeminate monarchs, leading your horde into the heart of civilisation to rape and pillage, drinking heartblood from the skulls of your defeated foes, massive beards wet with ale, spit and blood. And a voice actor like Brian Blessed, roaring out his lines with massive gusto and joy, not the usual bog standard boring twat. Good old fashioned fun.
And tits, gigantic, firm, epic Frazetta bronzed busts wobbling under some thin excuse for containment. Imagine the complaints, glorious. I'd buy that for a dollar.
