As for leaving the vault, wouldn't that be a really, really bad idea? Especially within a human lifetime after the bombs fall.
Not really. Most places not directly hit would stop being all that dangerously radioactive within the year. Nuclear winter (with its associated decrease of agricultural production) should last a decade or two (well within a human lifetime). It's hard to say how long the social chaos continues, but if it's not over when you come out, a well organized and armed group should be able to keep itself safe. (Coming out alone, like in every Fallout game ever, is a bad idea, yes)

I tried to play chess but two of my opponents were playing competitive checkers as a third person walked in with Game of Thrones in hand confused cause they thought this was the book club.

Oooo, can we imagine what a new version of "X-Wing vs TIE Fighter" would be like? No 2D cockpits; full 3D with lighting, large battles between capital ships, sparks from system damage.

How can you have a realistic SW space combat game, when the movies themselves were WWII dogfighting IN SPACE!

Nobody said realistic - just highly detailed and consistent simulations of WW2 dogfighting in space.

Goblin king.

You're a chief of a tribe of goblins living in caves in the mountains.

Some base management - Workin on the lair.
Some survival elements - finding food (raid those farmsteads, hunt animals)
Some RTS - killing those pesky humans

There was an RTS about goblins on the Gamecube. It probably wasn't exactly what you're looking for, but it comes a bit close.

Goblin Camp.  Not in caves, and not in development, but still pretty fun.

I think it was "Into the Fire" which was eventually canceled.  I think "Ive Found Her" is a fan game.

I seem to remember that the Sierra developers open sourced the game engine from ITF, or maybe just leaked it?  IFH might be based on that.  Looking at the website ( http://ifhgame.ru/ ) it looks like it might be playable.

After playing Daggerfall a bit recently, I realize how much I want a game with the soul of Daggerfall, but also all the modern accoutrements like pretty graphics, an actual difficulty curve rather than... whatever Daggerfall has (I call it a difficulty "pile of spaghetti"), so on and suchlike. All of this while keeping the random dungeons, the freaky unexplained environmental noises, the boundless wilderness, the random gratuitous nudity, YE OLDE PEASANTS, the cartoony blood & guts, and maybe some of the old-school DOS RPG weirdness like the 3D automap.

As I describe all the things that make up the experience of playing Daggerfall, I realize it probably wouldn't be that hard to make a Game of Thrones game just via extensive modding of Daggerfall :P It's got all the surface details of GoT (see: nudity, peasants, gore), it just needs characters to match and a map that looks roughly like Westeros.

Have you seen the engine remake called "DaggerXL"? It's not finished yet but the work that's gone into it so far is rather impressive. The end result will hopefully allow people to make their own dungeons and import new elements into Daggerfall as well as more easily making mods for the game.

I have seen that, yes. I really like what I see from dungeon gameplay videos. The smoothed textures + higher resolution make it infinitely easier on the eyes. But that super-detailed bump mapped ground combined with those filtered tree sprites make me less enthused. I'm not sure if that's what they're going with or if they intend to add 3D trees, though.
