discussion If you could pick any book, game, movie, tv show, or comic to live in after you die what would you pick?

[EggHeadedMan]

If you were given a choice on your death bed to relive life in any book, game, movie, tv show, or comic what would you pick and why? You can either regain your memories or go the whole time without knowing. If you regain your memories you are free to change the story as you see fit or based on what you want or you can simply let it run its course. You can also either be the main character, side character, or a new character entirely. Youd decide after dying and before waking in the world youve chosen.

I'd be myself, inserted into my own ttrpg metauniverse. It's infinite and generally benevolent by design. Different genres, free travel between if you know the right NPC's.

Star Trek in the Federation, but Old-Trek, not this dystopian Nu-Trek crap.

Why? Money isn't a thing anymore, people work because they want to.
Replicators can create any food and product and only need energy, which is basically unlimited and thus free for everybody.
Teleporter technology means instand travel.
And of course Holodecks, do I have to say more?

So Starfield but better?

i would say skyrim because i love that game. Magic and exploration in that universe would be so cool.

Man that's a tough one. As far as games go, Skyrim/ESO, the world and stories are great. As far as books go, Malazon Books of the fallen or the Sword of Truth series. The worlds are just so, for lack of a better word, raw. They're how fantasy books should be written. There's a (too long to document) list of anime shows I wouldn't mind being in also.

cyberpunk, easy. I may die a horrible death but it would be worth it. This is hard to chose because every world that's worth living in, is not going to make good stories.

The mass effect games. mostly for my wife Tali Zorah Vas Normandy. I probably end up as someones sad backstory

Warframe! I know it's a kinda weird universe but I always wanted to be a Tenno

I can see why youd pick it. Id enjoy fighting the dragons.

I also have a large list of animes id pick

Thats the wonder of you being able to retain memories of this story. You can change them as you see fit to make it the best story for you

The mass effect games. mostly for my wife Tali Zorah Vas Normandy. I probably end up as someones sad backstory

Id also probably end as someones sad backstory but that can give meaning to living said life to begin with

Warframe! I know it's a kinda weird universe but I always wanted to be a Tenno

very interesing choice

 

[Thaumiel]

A fine choice, Citizen. We must all do our part to keep Gotham safe!
