The Mushroom Kingdom. I mean, the deadliest things are basically falling into endless chasms and turtles. Plus you can live for as long as you want as long as you eat shrooms.
Witcher. Or Vampire the Masquerade. Both of them resemble our own, offer additional supernatural feats and have a little something something for everybody! At reasonable costs, too...
X-Com Terror from the deep.
Custer's Revenge.
Easy - Stardew Valley. Would have said Sunset Valley from The Sims 3, but if we're going with us entering game worlds, rather than game worlds being available in the real world, at the moment it would definitely be Stardew Valley.

Although, and I haven't actually played the game yet, the school from Hero-U: Rogue To Redemption looks like it could be a bit like Hogwarts, but like I said, haven't played the game, so I could be completely off on that one.

GreasyDogMeat: Custer's Revenge.
I don't know, that's awful lot of arrows...


I can't believe nobody picked The Secret of Monkey Island™.
Does no one want to be a mighty pirate?!
This thread reminds me of this article.

lanipcga: I don't recall seeing any similar threads on this site, so I figured I'd pose this question myself.

Is there any game setting you could picture yourself living and being active in? Given all the different genres out there and the various worlds and/or historical time periods games are centered around, everyone can probably think of a few that would be ideal for them. Whether it's Final Fantasy or Star Wars, there's gotta be an immersive game world that makes your imagination run wild.

For myself, I'd go with the world of Gloriana from the Quest for Glory series. With its lovely mix of characters, lore, geography, magic, and humor, I can imagine being thoroughly engaged and entertained by living there. Another cool one would probably be the Unreal universe, with its breathtaking planetscapes and awe-inspiring futuristic architecture. It'd be more of an action-filled existence, but that enthralling sense of wonderment would pervade nearly everything I did. Sure, my chances of getting mauled by a bloodthirsty Skaarj would be pretty high, but I suppose every game world has its dangers.
First off, nice thread idea OP...that said:

I would like to live in the System Shock 1/2(more 2) universe as a navy tech/hacker....i've loved those games to death since I first played them.

And perhaps Unreal as well....nice little universe they have going there.

Crosmando: Probably the Federation in Star Trek considering it's a place without poverty, crime, disease or want. You can have everything you want made by a Replicator.
Good choice, until the replicators break like on that one colony in that one episode & everyone goes back to same old same old of fighting over resources.....or your ship's warp core overloads....or you end up a red shirt. o.0

I love the setting, though, and second this choice as well.

TheMonkofDestiny: Myst, maybe. The potential of so many different places available to explore is an interesting concept.
Sounds nice.....I loved the game with the red/blue pages and the crazy brothers......fun times.

Matewis: Manaan from Knights of the Old Republic
Or that station(pre being blown up) from KOTOR 2...or perhaps Dantooine for calm & tranquility/one of the more advanced planets for action/excitement.

VTM's world would be nice if one knew the lore while being human.....or even vampire if one is careful enough to not go into the sunlight/etc.

If I can do so with more swordplay and a bit less insult fighting(though not gone entirely) i'd be down.

Well as long as I can skip any mazes, that is.

I would be interested in exploring the Galaxy Federation in Xenosaga. Helping researching Realians to help terraform hostile worlds.

Yup.....another good one....the first game that is. Don't get me wrong, the others are ok(of what i've played)....but changing voice actors to "less than optimum" ones for many characters in the second game & simplifying the attack/magic animations/names to generic ones for all characters kinda left me a bit miffed. The story is still good, though, and I love the setting to death as well.
Plenty of interesting responses thus far. Examples like Myst and Stardew Valley sound like neat ideas despite my limited familiarity with either game. Another game I've yet to play is Astroneer, but from what I've seen from people's streams, it also looks like a pleasantly colorful, spacey universe to go exploring in.

If anyone remembers the Carnivores series, you may remember having to wander around for a loooong time before a dinosaur finally shows up. As a result of exploring the maps and taking in all the scenery, I have to admit that I developed a soft spot for traversing those desolate-yet-lush valleys and hilltops. Graphically speaking, it may not have been anywhere near as attractive as Unreal, but it still represents a memorable slice of nostalgia for me. If you removed the dinosaur-hunting element completely, I could see those same worlds being used in an "anything goes", Minecraft-y sort of way. Imagine owning a cozy seaside cottage just down the beach from a friendly Brontosaurus.

There are many, who do. Church members, not necessarily hunters only, basic occultists, not of magi "class", bums in rural areas who accidentally get in contact with various predators (werewolf? nosferatu? whatever is "careless" enough to be seen?) roaming the countryside...

And vampires simply reverse daily scedule; sleep during day, work during night. Elders have entire hideaways that resemble "fortresses", methuselahs and above have natural resistance to sunlight and can afford carefully timed, prolonged exposure to it, but that's not all... There are many creatures and types of creatures, in this world, mostly supernatural, for which sunlight is no problemo...

Humans too, aren't as stupid or insignificant, as they are being portrayed. During middle ages, the inquisition, almost wiped out the Kindred and alerted everybody to their presence... And in modern times, they are being feared, for their advanced technology and weapons of mass destruction. Hence the need of supernaturals for "masquerade" and "behind the scenes manipulation". And the Jyhad rages on, a huge civil war among all vampires... Even though humans are regularly used and mixed into that, as well, the bulk of danger (damage? exposure? extermination?), hangs over undead heads mostly, for the greater part.

True enough and good post.

GameRager: True enough and good post.
You 're telling me. That's why i got downrepped, in most probability. Posting game lore, in a game forum and in a relevant conversation, earns you negative rep.

Don't blame me then, next time i talk irrelevant sheet or simply politics, please! Just decide what the hell you people want to discuss about (not you) and inform me!

It's not because of that, but because you dared reply to me....which some trolls here dislike. They have been low rating those who reply to me in some threads as of late......pay them no mind.
