If there were new Infinity Engine games, where would you want them to take place?

Here are my choices:
1) Waterdeep
2) Menzoberranzan
As for the ruleset, I guess it could work with 2nd or 3rd edition rules. Although I've tried the 5th edition ruleset in tabletop D&D, and it's a pretty cool system, overall. I especially like the concept of advantage and disadvantage.

Ravenloft, Dark Sun, Planescape, Spelljammer, take your pick.
Those are awesome settings. It's difficult to choose one over the other, all of them are unique in their own way. I would add Greyhawk to the list, and probably Eberron as well.
It's just that I love Forgotten Realms (but Planescape is a close second, followed by a tie between Greyhawk and Ravenloft). Speaking of other continents of the Realms besides Faerun, whatever happened to Kara-Tur, Al-Qadim (Zakhara) and Maztica? There was also another continent, Osse, of which we know practically nothing since very little was published, but it was supposed to be inspired by Native Australians.
1. The Feywild
2. Chult
3. Ravenloft
In that order.
This is exactly how I feel with one exception. I'd love to have an IE game in Chult.
ALSO DINOSAURS
How about Dragonlance? There was a Dragonlance total conversion project at some point.
1) Back to Icewind Dale 3, Oswald and his ship and check of all of the Ten Towns.
2) Expedition from Damara to Samarach (or vv) in 1372 period, that could be released in parts (let we say in 100 packs)
3) The Shaar and that events which lead to the destruction in 1479.
4) or some magical adventures in the name of Mystra
Real-time with pause only...
Mulhorand and Unther. I feel like the Ancient Egyptian and Babylonian vibes could be kind of fun.
That would be cool. One of my favorite games is Quest for Glory 3. The main city has a sort of Ancient Egyptian style to it.
1. Ravenloft
2. Ravenloft
3. Ravenloft
Didn't have to be DnD did it
In this case, Babylon 5, please
I'd love some Eberron. The only games so far are DDO and Dragonshard (an MMORPG and an RTS). I love to see the pulp fiction, the politics, and the creatures in a proper cRPG.
Besides, it has halfling barbarians riding dinosaurs and the warforged race.
Just slap it with a non-canon label and boom, you can do almost anything you want without breaking the lore. Plot against the gods. Take down well known organizations. More possibilities open up.
One option that I think would also be cool would be an Infinity Engine implementation of the "Die Vecna Die!" module. This would represent a huge historical event like the ones that @WarChiefZeke mentioned, and it also provides an excuse to explore three different settings: Greyhawk, Ravenloft and Planescape. And the module can be seen as a bridge from 2nd to 3rd edition. I think this module is a win-win situation for an IE game.
Edit: or Dark Sun
No dinosaurs though
True. The yuan-ti there can kinda pass off as dinosaurs, lol...
Actually now that you mention it, it would be cool to make a mod for that area of IW2 that adds dinosaurs. I think that will be my new project for the following months.
This reminds me of the movie Bright, I saw it a few weeks ago. I thought it was OK for what it was trying to achieve. Nothing stellar, but not necessarily bad either. It did get awful reviews in general though.
Urban fantasy is a tough genre to pull off, IMO. I can't think of any example off the top of my head that I would describe as a masterpiece, but I can certainly do it for more traditional fantasy genres, like Lord of the Rings for high fantasy, or Conan the Barbarian for sword & sorcery, that kind of stuff.
But just because I can't think of any examples doesn't mean that they don't exist. I would certainly be very interested in playing an urban fantasy CRPG, just to see what kind of story the developers envisioned.
They could do some kind of supernatural powers instead of ET, but that would require a different setting. I'd actually be cool with either really. Imagine an Ash vs. Evil Dead setting. That would be pretty cool too!
