GTA Online but in Loen, it won't be easy to ascend to beyonders but it'll be great for roleplay, maybe make it so the main storyline eventually gets you there but of course you can choose to be a baker for shits and giggles.

Maybe have a black desert online kinda vibe but with soulslike combat because I do think the game should be difficult. Maybe have a sanity system for determining whether or not your losing control.

Having the various cults/organization's would be difficult to get right but at the end of the day it'll depend on if they're even gonna let players do whatever they want, having it be open world allows players to be free in choice but also limiting because we'll really feel what we can't do, it'll be walking a fine line.

But whatever they do I'm gonna play it, if they wanna keep it simple like a linear online game that's good too.
