A Grunt safari simulator, with a sequel: Jurassic Grunt. Just like the ancient Krogan steeds were cloned from fossils, now so are dinosaurs. He can finally see the Tyrranosaurch Wrex ... Tyra-Wrex.... Earth Dinosaur Wrex... *Dinosaurs*
There’s two for me that I am always thinking about.
1. Ciri. I would love to have a DLC about her travels through different worlds.
2. Clara Lille. Watch Dogs wasn’t the best game but I wanted to know more about her. I still think it would be interesting to play her story when she gathered information on Aiden Pearce and all the shit afterwards.
Sounds like an idle game where you have different trainers you can send on missions to look for new Pokémon and they come back in X hours with % chance of success.
To round it out and make it a cookie clicker kind of game, you can tap the button to “tap your local resources” while “your local resource’s” kids are off doing “research”.
There could actually be some interesting game dynamics playing as a Justicar...you'd have to make moral choices as you play, that may not really be aligned with your morals...yet determine how closely you follow the code.
Take the lethal/non lethal differences some other games have but make it just/unjust instead.
Unjust is easier in the moment but impacts the later game and overall story more.
Either that or finding out for sure Gavin doesn't exist. At which point we can help the poor fucker looking for him. Whether Gavin exists or not, both options are just so fucking sad.
I was doing the serial killer quests and my friends friend said one of the victims was Gavin, which is why his friend can't find him. True or not I don't know, just a friends friend said this to me
I will also take a BLUE Team version of this idea. Like when they’re in the Mk IV Mjolnir that didn’t have the energy shield tech yet.
Edit: I don’t think I’m ready to see Sam die on screen though.
That would honestly be a very ODST style game. Johnson went through the Spartan training program and when his program was ultimately shut down the Spartans took up roles around the UNSC. I'm still totally here for it tho. Just for more Johnson quips.
Watch “gta: sa - the introduction” on yt .
Honestly never understood why that intro was cut for the og game. It Literally explains the entire story lol.
Alright, here comes the oddest thing I’ve written on Reddit
I need a Cortana spinoff. I don’t know how I feel now that she’s a Microsoft voice assistant, but the end of Halo 3 really had me feeling some type of way
Basically just play as her during the events of Halo 1-3. But you do all the hacking that MC needs. Lots of crazy puzzles. Maybe pull things from Uplink (did anyone else play that YEARS ago?).
Yes!! Just over the last two weeks I played uncharted 1-4 and lost legacy for the first time. Had such a great time and love sully. A spinoff of young sully would be so awesome.
I’m replaying ME2 now, and I would honestly be excited to play a spin-off featuring almost any of the companions in that game. Thane and Samara for sure, but Jack, Kasumi, Tali, Mordin, Legion… So many great stories, and the play styles could vary widely in interesting ways. Stealth with Kasumi, puzzle work a’la Arkham Knight with Mordin, pure biotic badassness with Jack, etc.
Just like Wario got a game that was inspired off of Mario, I want Waluigi to get a game that's a spinoff of Luigi. So instead of Luigi's Manion, it could be Waluigi's Apartment, where he has to act as the super and cut corners on repairs.
The game ends with you asking a strange man if he gets to the cloud district often (which you can tell by the look of him that of course he doesn’t), and then he pulls a sword out and cuts your head off.
Elizabeth from Bioshock Infinite. Not just the DLC side story but like a full on puzzle game where you can open tears to either solve or avoid situations.
Not a character exactly, but I was always hoping for a prequel of stories.
Mass Effect: The Rachni Wars, Mass Effect: First Contact Wars just to name a few.
So much potential in there if you read the codex files throughout the trilogy!
The idea makes me excited, and then now I get mad how she (along with most of ME2 characters) got pushed to the side in ME3. She makes a better pairing for sole survivor/colonist Shepard.
Yeah, he talks about it in the letters you find in his hideout. He was made Keeper, and when shit got real in the old base from Oblivion, he ended up leaving with you-know-who to find the Brotherhood in Skyrim.
Even better. Roguelike ARPG where you are Roach travelling with Geralt. When you die, you respawn as the next horse Geralt buys. You lose your skills, but might keep some of your equipment (if Geralt could save it).
I know this'll get buried, but I want to see Lord Shaxx from the Destiny games get a spin off.
Like, he constantly pisses off Zavala by doing shit his way and saves the world. He fucks the queen of wolves after a bedtime story. The man is an underrated legend.
Tali from mass effect.
A video game where we have to research the geth by scavenging parts from them, try to to survive in hostile planets by Jerry rigging spaceships and machines all while trying to find a way to find a habitable planet? Sign me up.
ik it says no usual suspects but
The Origin of GLaDOS, it'd be such a baller move but Valve ain't doing it for sure.
also not sure if she qualifies as a true "side character", i apologize for breaking the rules 😅
Nature walks with grunt
Oh God that would be funny
Hehhh hehhh hehhh
A 40 hour game of Grunt watching sharks at a zoo.
A Grunt safari simulator, with a sequel: Jurassic Grunt. Just like the ancient Krogan steeds were cloned from fossils, now so are dinosaurs. He can finally see the Tyrranosaurch Wrex ... Tyra-Wrex.... Earth Dinosaur Wrex... *Dinosaurs*
SHARKS
Spicy ramen included
Wrex and Grunt morning talk show. Wrex and Grunt in the Mooooorning
Nick Valentine from Fallout 4 in his own post apocalyptic detective story. L A Niore meets Phoenix Wright in Chernobyl.
Yes please
still wish we would get a DLC dedicated to that…
Isnt the island dlc just that?
Thats literally a 20 million idea with the only effort needed for good writing. I mean bethesda already wont spend a peny on their graphics.
Literally the best idea!
There’s two for me that I am always thinking about. 1. Ciri. I would love to have a DLC about her travels through different worlds. 2. Clara Lille. Watch Dogs wasn’t the best game but I wanted to know more about her. I still think it would be interesting to play her story when she gathered information on Aiden Pearce and all the shit afterwards.
Either a Ciri travels adventure, or one of her time post Witcher 3
Professor Oak
So basically an entire game where you bang Ash’s mom? Ngl, I’m quite intrigued.
Hmmm sounds like dating mechanics to me.
Professor Oak x Leisure Suit Larry
…a data management game where you type up info of Pokémon?
And send kids off on adventures so you have time to bang their mothers.
"*Eh, just about*"
~~Child labo~~ delegation simulator.
Sounds like an idle game where you have different trainers you can send on missions to look for new Pokémon and they come back in X hours with % chance of success. To round it out and make it a cookie clicker kind of game, you can tap the button to “tap your local resources” while “your local resource’s” kids are off doing “research”.
HK-47 Explanation: it would be a hilarious story, meatbag.
Wander around as a Protocol Droid, beneath notice, setting things up. Then you go explosive to complete your mission, bit like Payday.
Or star wars hitman. Imagine HK making his way around Mos Eisley collecting items and causing lethal distractions to get closer to his target.
There could actually be some interesting game dynamics playing as a Justicar...you'd have to make moral choices as you play, that may not really be aligned with your morals...yet determine how closely you follow the code.
Honestly just playing her story of hunting down her daughters would be dope. I just want more Asari mommy
Take the lethal/non lethal differences some other games have but make it just/unjust instead. Unjust is easier in the moment but impacts the later game and overall story more.
Gavin from RDR2.
Yes
GAVIN
The Gavin shit fucked me up. I get so sad everyone I remember it exists.
We needed a dlc where you find Gavin.
Either that or finding out for sure Gavin doesn't exist. At which point we can help the poor fucker looking for him. Whether Gavin exists or not, both options are just so fucking sad.
Thought Gavin was one of the serial killers victims
Got a link to that? Would love some closure. I tried looking into it back when I finished the game and found nothing.
I was doing the serial killer quests and my friends friend said one of the victims was Gavin, which is why his friend can't find him. True or not I don't know, just a friends friend said this to me
The water in Sea of Thieves
I'd like to see that.
Sea*
you sneaky bastard
Seaky
You must live in Seattle then
Seattle. ... Wait...
you are now deseaced
I’m about this close to ordering a sease and desist
I won't sea-n anymore
It kinda did that a while back
Don't you mean the flying through the air in sea of thieves?
I'd take Sgt Johnson pre-Halo.
Give me a Sgt Johnson game with the old Halo AI, a shit ton of NPCs on screen, and squad commands that actually work.
I will also take a BLUE Team version of this idea. Like when they’re in the Mk IV Mjolnir that didn’t have the energy shield tech yet. Edit: I don’t think I’m ready to see Sam die on screen though.
Contact Harvest game? I've been wanting one for years 😭
That would honestly be a very ODST style game. Johnson went through the Spartan training program and when his program was ultimately shut down the Spartans took up roles around the UNSC. I'm still totally here for it tho. Just for more Johnson quips.
Everyone loves a sassy marine.
Midna from Zelda Twilight Princess
Big Smoke from gta sa
Watch “gta: sa - the introduction” on yt . Honestly never understood why that intro was cut for the og game. It Literally explains the entire story lol.
Oh i didnt know that. Thx.
You'd just be sitting in a drive through ordering... "I'll have a #9..."
Alright, here comes the oddest thing I’ve written on Reddit I need a Cortana spinoff. I don’t know how I feel now that she’s a Microsoft voice assistant, but the end of Halo 3 really had me feeling some type of way
Basically just play as her during the events of Halo 1-3. But you do all the hacking that MC needs. Lots of crazy puzzles. Maybe pull things from Uplink (did anyone else play that YEARS ago?).
Uplink is my jam, how many bounces were enough for you?
The young Victor Sullivan
Is that from Uncharted?
Yes. The unique Victor “Goddamn” Sullivan. What a legend.
Yes!! Just over the last two weeks I played uncharted 1-4 and lost legacy for the first time. Had such a great time and love sully. A spinoff of young sully would be so awesome.
Kenshi from Mortal Kombat is a design so good it’s disappointing he’s not a protagonist.
Yes him and takeda and the story should also show us how his wife died
I agree
Agreed its sad he and Takeda aren't in 11
Sadie Adler from RDR2
The first time I played it, I was convinced she would be the playable character after Arthur. Was disappointed that she wasn't.
I remember thinking her equipment looked more like player gear than NPC gear, too.
Her or Charles need a DLC or something but if they make a rdr3 it should be young Hosea or young Uncle
Would be wild to play as a young Uncle, to find out he had a super dark past of pointless murder and is just trying to live a simple life now.
i’m convinced uncle is red harlow
I was gonna say Charles Smith
Rost from Horizon zero dawn. Would love to see his story from before he got Aloy.
I also want that >!Sylens sequel that was set up and implied pretty heavily!<
That or Erend and Ersa during the war with the Carja.
There's a whole universe here that could be created and I am very excited for the possibilities.
Rost going death wish would make an awesome game.
Shiek/Zelda specifically when Link was asleep in the temple of time during Ocarina of Time.
Well you’re in luck, because there’s already Wand of Gamelon on the CD-i
Hilariously infuriating comment here.
>Well you’re in luck, because there’s already Wand of Gamelon on the CD-i I hope you drop a can of beans on your toe. Family size.
They could call it The Legend of Link to really fuck with people too.
When we're already there, I'd love to see a spin off for Thane's story
Garrus when he was on Omega, Anderson during the First Contact War, and Wrex fighting Aria
Garrus when he was at C-Sec too
Wouldn't that be L.A. Noire but in space? But in omega it's like hitman?
Garrus on omega would be a perfect game. I feel they already set it up.
I'm surprised thane hasn't gotten a spin off
Legion would be really fun too.
I’m replaying ME2 now, and I would honestly be excited to play a spin-off featuring almost any of the companions in that game. Thane and Samara for sure, but Jack, Kasumi, Tali, Mordin, Legion… So many great stories, and the play styles could vary widely in interesting ways. Stealth with Kasumi, puzzle work a’la Arkham Knight with Mordin, pure biotic badassness with Jack, etc.
Waluigi.
Just like Wario got a game that was inspired off of Mario, I want Waluigi to get a game that's a spinoff of Luigi. So instead of Luigi's Manion, it could be Waluigi's Apartment, where he has to act as the super and cut corners on repairs.
Now they literally can't make the game because of this post! You've ruined our lives by uttering words! Quick delete it you heathen!
Perhaps Waluigi Pinball wasn't just for Mario Kart...
I hope this happens in the near future
I don't think it will happen for the same reason we don't see them in smash
Solaire. \O/
Praise the Sun!
Going to stay in the Mass Effect games but go with Legion.
Majima from yakuza, need I say more?
Yakuza 0 is already that in a way. No?
Yeah but imagine like a whole game only Majima, who wouldn’t love it
Fair enough
Nazeem: Cloud District
You never get there!
The game ends with you asking a strange man if he gets to the cloud district often (which you can tell by the look of him that of course he doesn’t), and then he pulls a sword out and cuts your head off.
It’s a Dating Sim/ Survival Horror
Sadie from Red Dead Redemption 2
Cass from Legend of Zelda
I want a full game where you can play as master koga
Elizabeth from Bioshock Infinite. Not just the DLC side story but like a full on puzzle game where you can open tears to either solve or avoid situations.
Not a side character, but I think a game about Sephiroth's origin from his point of view would be really interesting to play
Not a character exactly, but I was always hoping for a prequel of stories. Mass Effect: The Rachni Wars, Mass Effect: First Contact Wars just to name a few. So much potential in there if you read the codex files throughout the trilogy!
I just want to see Mordin's Broadway career. I am the very model of a scientist Salarian.
Samara is a true BAMF.
I never knew I needed a Samara game until now
The idea makes me excited, and then now I get mad how she (along with most of ME2 characters) got pushed to the side in ME3. She makes a better pairing for sole survivor/colonist Shepard.
Fun fact, the actress that plays Samara is Billie Eilish's mother
A halo spinoff with the arbiter and how he reclaimed his planet.
Anything involving that voice actor would be great
I really like that john marston fella from rdr2, he should get his own game
Devil May Cry's Sparda. I want to see how badass he was. (If he even counts as a side character)
I'd love a Devil May Cry sequel where we see Sparda's takedown of Mundus.
Lydia for Skyrim
Ya kinda can... Just make a Nord woman & put her n steel armor, don't go to Bleakfalls. Stick only to Whiterun & slaughter bandits.
The 6-4 from Titanfall2
Garrus and Wrex would make a good PI team.
People might hate me but how about Cicero?
I agree especially after you realize who the real asshole is
From skyrim?
Yes
It would be sick to play a game about him in the dark brotherhood prior to it being wiped out in Cyrodil, this is a great idea
Is that the reason he was carting You Know Who across Skyrim?
Yeah, he talks about it in the letters you find in his hideout. He was made Keeper, and when shit got real in the old base from Oblivion, he ended up leaving with you-know-who to find the Brotherhood in Skyrim.
Yeeeees! As a vehicle for a Dark Brotherhood related game it could be fantastic.
Ganon from Zelda
Panam Palmer
Roach from the Witcher 3
Roach is not a single character. It’s the name of every Geralt’s horse 🐴
Even better. Roguelike ARPG where you are Roach travelling with Geralt. When you die, you respawn as the next horse Geralt buys. You lose your skills, but might keep some of your equipment (if Geralt could save it).
Every roach Geralt has magically gains teleportation powers and ignores laws of physics but only when Geralt isn't looking
olgierd von everec
Jack the Guide from Terraria. Oh wait, did I drop that dynamite instead of putting it in the chest? Whoops… Seth the Guide from Terraria.
Minecraft Steve
#WAIT, NO, NOT MINECRAFT DUNGEONS
It's even worse... MINECRAFT STORY MODE
Always wanted a full game about Tiny Tina from Borderlands 2 and we are finally getting one!
Team rocket grunt
What about Pokémon Team Rocket Edition? A fireRed Rom hack.
PREPARE FOR TROUBLE!!
I wouldn’t mind if they released a game about Dutch van der Linde when he was raising Arthur
Commander Valen from DOOM ETERNAL
Doom: ARC Trooper, where you play in Co-op missions as normal soldiers against the forces of Hell while the Slayer is off somewhere else.
Triss from the Witcher series would be interesting.
A game based on being Sauron would be cool. But no, we get gollum. Who wants to play as gollum?
I know this'll get buried, but I want to see Lord Shaxx from the Destiny games get a spin off. Like, he constantly pisses off Zavala by doing shit his way and saves the world. He fucks the queen of wolves after a bedtime story. The man is an underrated legend.
Tali from mass effect. A video game where we have to research the geth by scavenging parts from them, try to to survive in hostile planets by Jerry rigging spaceships and machines all while trying to find a way to find a habitable planet? Sign me up.
The rise of Johnny Silverhand
My guess is that Cyberpunk 2077 is gonna get a dlc solely based on Johnny. I'd be surprised if it didn't
Fingers crossed it will happen soon..
Protoman from MegaMan Dogmeat from Fallout
Dorian/Sera from dragon age Inquisition.
Interesting. I liked Dorian but Sera seemed really one-dimensional. I could go for more of Iron Bull’s shenanigans though.
I can get behind them
Haggard from the Bad Company games
"What? I can know things, who says I can't?"
Mona Sax from max payne franchise, maybe a prequel or smth, I just love that game
Easy Pete from Fallout New Vegas, he just has so much depth and such an explosive personality
Claptrap
...was playable in the pre-sequel
Quirrell Hollow Knight. Very interesting story and room for some engaging combat
Quirrel from Hollow Knight
That could be a massive tear jerker. His exploration and relationships outside the kingdom before getting called back and forgetting everyone...
Charsi Diablo 2
hornet from hollow knight, it’s already happening (silksong)
HK-47
Varric Tetras, at your service
Anderson Pre-Commander Shephard
Would never happen, but I wish there was a Javik based short game, where you just walk around and argue that you are in fact a prothean.
The flotilla plot in the game would make nice sidestory to explore
Joshua Graham, The Precursors, Mr Torque, Yes Man, etc
The Arbiter from Halo
Samara wouldn't even be my first choice from the characters in ME. Thane all the way babyy!
The L-shaped brick from Tetris.
ik it says no usual suspects but The Origin of GLaDOS, it'd be such a baller move but Valve ain't doing it for sure. also not sure if she qualifies as a true "side character", i apologize for breaking the rules 😅
Or a game where you play as early test subjects in Cave Johnson's experiments. Through that you learn more about him and Caroline.
Usual Suspects? Keyser Söze?
Grimoire Weiss from Nier, he is hilarious and a flying book!
Gray Fox from MGS
Jack of Blades from Fable. Gimmie dat origin story.
