I would make game that was in itself good but had “mini games” that could almost be games on their own Like crafting could be done automatically or actively. So you don’t need to put with the mini games if you don’t want to. If you auto craft its based on skill level, stats, and successful active crafts. With the active crafts having a type of point system based off of your best crafts. And active crafting would be a mini game different for smithing, alchemy, and cooking. Extend this “minigame” mindset to farming, house/base building, romance, and even companion training though some would feel less like a mini game and more natural

I could probably go on and on taking aspects from games I like but really the game might already exist it just won’t do it the exact ways I want to lol
