I want a new open world RPG that isn't turn-based and has a decent amout of detail.

Hm...The Witcher 3? Not sure how open-world that is (I'm not up on the news despite the fact this game is being made in the very country I live in), but seems like a good one to me.
I meant more like Morrowind but with a better render distance and better controls.

How would you make a reverse arkham city game work? You're an ordinary person up against a foe stronger in every way (in this case a criminal escaping batman), and you need to escape with an ordinary persons toolset using your environment (a randomly generated bit of Gotham), without being saved by plot or grind. Writing it out, it sounds like a game where you'd die 11 different ways and then succeed by luck or bug, and be desperately attached. How exactly could you beat such a scenario through quick wits?

Not sure how that ties into anything, but here's an idea. You start out as an ordinary criminal... with just one thing on your side. Maybe you have a gun, or you know the hiding spots in this part of town, or you're a little faster then usual, or you have a torch. As the game goes on, you get more and more perks that grow increasingly outlandish until you're a full-blown supervillain.

Throw in the nemesis system, affecting both you and your criminal frienemies. It doesn't tie into anything, I'd just like to see how you'd make it work.

That sounds absolutely goddamn amazing.

I wonder if that's what would have happened if we explicitly ran That One Game on Genius rules...

Actually, make it so that it affects superheroes. So not only do you have an ARCHNEMESIS (Who constantly bothers you but gives you neat bonuses, so if you kill him you're not getting that bonus back), you can also brainwash superheroes and pull a "There is a traitor amongst you!" moment.

Thinking about this lately. A game set on an alien planet (as in Alpha Centauri). The planet is not randomly generated, but a huge world map like one of the larger Total War games. Gameplay is kind of like total war, and the map is divided up in to provinces, but you have to build colonies and upgrades on the map too. A colony will claim a province and then can be upgraded. Combat would be total war style too I think.

Terraform wars.  Using a planet to kill each other.

HE BUILT A CITY IN A VALLEY?!  FLOOD IT!

Name of the game is to kill your opponents without destroying the planet/yourself.

Doom: The Roguelike: The FPS

you mean like this:  https://soulsphere.org/projects/smmu/textdoom/

or like this:  http://www.old-games.com/download/7222/ascii-doom

Certainly you dont actually mean this:  http://doom.chaosforge.org/  or you wouldn't have said 'FPS'.

If you just mean doom with procedural levels (gotta be specific about what you mean when you say 'Rougelike', not many games go full-berlin) then there is this:  http://pcg.wikidot.com/pcg-software:oblige  and this: http://pcg.wikidot.com/pcg-games:dungeon-doom

Someone makes one of those about every week. Godius is an example.
Well, almost like that. Terraform wars, yes.

May be a bit too literal, but: Solar 2

No terraforming tho, hehe.

Scoped Soviet death ray is an accurate description of that monstrosity sans magitek.

You mean Godus?  I heard that's kind a crappy thing.  I want to be able to level mountains with giant superweapons and cause sandstorms that ravage the planet.  That sort of stuff.
