for me its dragon ball z. i've always wanted a good 3d open world dbz action rpg kind of game, but it's just never been done to its full potential. the closest we've gotten in my opinion is dragon ball z kakarot, which has great DBZ fighting game style fighting, and tries to incorporate it with an open world with rpg-light type features, but the world and rpg elements are just so uninspired and poorly done. they don't really blend well with the fighting segments either, it feels like all of the 'open world' is more of just a 3d overworld with minigames

I’d like to see a high-budget ARPG set in ASOIAF’s Westeros. I’m not sure what it would be about, but it would be cool if you, the player, start as a bastard from one of the Great Houses and work your way to becoming Hand of the King. Then you’d have enough political power to do all kinds of crazy shit. I’m a big fan of the juxtaposition of this gritty world of pointless, tragic human conflicts and talking tree-doors, time travel, dragons, and a thousand mile long, 500-ft high ice wall.

There's a mod for Mount and Blade Warband for Game of Thrones that's pretty good. I don't know how much fantasy elements it has, though. Lord of the Rings and Warhammer have mods featuring monsters and magic.

Best ASoIaF games BY FAR are mods for Crusader Kings 2 and 3. You can do there everything you wrote.

And A"RPG" would be horrible choice for a genre for that given you usually just mow down close to inifinity number of mobs there and plot is almost nonexistent and linear.

You mean the mobile games and browser MMO didn't do it for ya? What about the game from Telltale when it was in its trash era?

The old RPG game was pretty good rpg for the time, but it was shit as ASoIaF game, everything happened on the margin of the book and you barely seen book locations and characters.
