I have a deep love for open world survival games with crafting mechanics and settlement building. I'd love it even more of they had established NPC communities that you could engage in.
I genuinely wish I could live in a little self sustaining farm on the edge of a city and periodically go to market to sell the spoils of my dungeoneering and pick up new bounties.
Or be part of a community where I periodically barter different things to do whatever menial tasks the community needs done. Weed your yard for two jars of honey. Trade one to the neighbor for vegetables and turn the other into mead for next season. Help another repair their roof because I know they'll help me out when I need to fix the siding come fall.
Most of my games are just a chance to better engage in something I wish I could be doing in life.
