Is there a specific story or setting you've always wanted to experience in a video game?
I know I'm going to get a lot of hate for this, but I've gotta say 343's Halo takes the top spot for me. I just love the idea of being part of a cosmic game of gods and demons fighting each other. I can't wait to see how the player gets to disrupt the Precursor/Forerunner plans in the future as well.
Mass Effect is definitely another one- the sociopolitical conflicts brought up by the first game in particular were really interesting, and the Reaper/Prothean lore suggesting that we're "the cycle to break it all" was awesome.
Oh yeah, and I could go on for days about Metal Gear and the original Dino Crisis.
How about you guys?
[b]Hypotheticals are definitely allowed. Indeed, they're pretty much the point of the thread.[/b]

My fantasy is basically the Cold War, but set in space. Two massive military industrial complexes are secretly trying to dismantle the other, through espionage, proxy wars, etc. You play as an agent who was burned by the company he worked for, and labeled as a terrorist and fugitive of his homeworld. Meanwhile, you've got a price on your head in the criminal underworld. The game/series would be about you trying to clear your name and find out why you've been setup, while being hunted by a variety of different factions who want you for different reasons.
