First off, I'm leaving out Elden Ring from this post because while GRRM is involved, the setting is very different. Obviously this is not necessarily a new idea, but I wanted a good discussion about it and get some of my ideas into the world. Essentially the idea of a story based on a random person sent to the night's watch and having to go out into the frozen north alone to fight skeletons, dire wolves, and bandits sounds like a great setting for a Fromsoft game. Basically Ashes of Ariandel but a full game and a different world of lore and implications. A simple criminal getting caught and forced to wade through horrors and defeat God-like beings with only survival as motivation thematically fits the DS games.
Im not sure about the proper "period" it would take place in, but maybe early in the nights watch creation, or even beforehand. My knowledge of lore isnt the best, but it would need to be at a time when the white walkers and other fantastical creatures and beasts weren't as rare as they are in ASOIAF.
Combat would be self explanatory from Dark Souls, as well as some major bosses (Giants, white walkers, dragons). Stuff like special weapons you need to kill certain bosses isnt rare (looking at you storm ruler) but then again you could just make all the weapons obsidian or Valyrian steel. Where your character comes from chooses your starting build is already a feature (pickpocket from Kings Landing is high dex for example).
Idk what else to say than that my mental image of a crow fighting in Bloodborne style sounds amazing to me. You could literally have Eileen the crow in the game lol
