Fantasy Video Games Bucket List

Raven build a fantasy Doom with an inventory, an elvish wand and the ability to look up.

The last of the main run: a court intrigue in the Queendom of Falena, and the closest the series came to Suikoden II.

Three classes, hub levels you walk back through, and puzzle switches instead of coloured keys.

The Trinity Sight system: the same war told three times, from three sides, before they converge.

Back to Solstheim to face Miraak, the first Dragonborn, and learn to ride a dragon.

Durlag’s Tower and three more areas for the first game, still the hardest dungeon BioWare built.

Borderlands played as a tabletop campaign Tiny Tina is making up as she goes, on a board you walk across.

The 2010 reboot by MercurySteam, with Patrick Stewart narrating and a combat system borrowed from God of War.

Sheogorath’s realm split between Mania and Dementia, and the best writing Bethesda has published.

Solstheim in the snow, a werewolf questline and the first Elder Scrolls expansion with a build-a-colony thread.

The walled city of Mournhold and an audience with a living god who has stopped answering prayers.

The expansion that ends the Bhaalspawn saga, with Watcher’s Keep and levels past the original cap.

Four zones underground beneath Khaz Algar, and warbands that share progress across every character on the account.

The Burning Legion returns, every specialisation gets its own artefact weapon, and Suramar unlocks over months.

Creative Assembly take the licence and put dwarfs, greenskins and a vampire count on the campaign map.

Norrath in 1999, where dying left your corpse and your gear where you fell and you had to walk back naked; still running.

Dynamic events that fire whether anyone is there to see them, and world versus world fought across three servers at once.

Tamriel with the level gates removed, so a new character can start in any chapter and scale to it.

Free to play and paid for with cosmetics, built around a passive tree of more than a thousand nodes and a new league every few months.

Twelve missions a side on Draenor, with named heroes who stay dead if you lose them.

Top-down and unforgiving since 1997: die and you lose experience, skills and part of what you were carrying.

Quel'Thalas and Silvermoon opened up in March 2026, with player housing added twenty-two years late.
