Bethesda/WOT series

I think it would be awesome if Bethesda would make a game based on the Wheel of Time series. I think Bethesda is the only gaming company that would do it justice.

YES, i loved WoT, well, up until about book eight, then they were just bull crap that nothing happened in.

Although i'm not sure the WoT series is game friendly

There also might be a http://www.geekology.co.za/blog/2010/01/first-wheel-of-time-movie-possibly-released-in-2011/ in the works, I'd much rather Bethesda made a game based on E. Feists Magician series though, it would make a better game than WoT

Sure, it would be cool. And you're right, Beth could do a great many things well in such a setting. The world would be fantastic, the spell effects, creatures, and quests would be likely be handled admirably, too.

But it's far from a great fit. Beyond being too similar to TES... Bethesda has trouble creating truly memorable characters - their animations, their dialogue, it generally lacks dynamism. And in a series as character-driven as the Wheel of Time, you can't do the series justice without first doing the characters justice.

Robert Jordan was the exact opposite of this, even the horses have their own backstory
