Seeking Wheel of time

[Ashira13]

Not sure if this is the right place to ask... I was wondering if there is any Stories (games) created that is based on the Wheel of time universe written by Robert Jordan? i think it has a huge potential for a lot of genres on this site. Those of you that has read those books or watched it on amazon prime knows what i am talking about. If i had the knowhow, i would have created something myself.

is there really noone that has thought of this at all?

Books don't get many parodies. Movies/games/tv shows are where it's at.

Maybe in a few years if the tv show gets some traction we'll get some parodies about Mat gallivanting, Rand hareming, and

Doubt it gets any traction at all, the show is bad, like... even worse than the LOTR: Rings of powers level of bad... And WoT has not the level on fans LOTR fan base has, like not even close so...
I have amazon prime ( is on prime video ) and did not even notice 2nd season dropped a while ago, they do not even bother to promote it, season 1 was REALLY f.. bad..

The mod for Skyrim, though, is interestingly above your average adventure mod, with a good companion (Aviendha), good voice acting and a well written quest (albeit short and necessarily not "lore friendly"). And, since recently, with a Sexlab plugin

These observations seem largely true, but, OP, I have to agree with you: From what I've heard about Jordan, his books DO have a lot of potential here. (Ironically, I learned all this from a user who hated him; even weirder: on the Ravager Discord channel discussing different kinks.)

There's a polyamory arc written into not just the story, but the world lore. Some Aes Sedai have male harems. The (arguably) main male character has his own triad of "true loves", perhaps more. There's room of a lot of imaginative situations even sticking closely to the lore - haven't read the books, but watched the show and didn't find it that bad, but my standards aren't high. I don't expect high level entertainment from television in 2025 I'd place Wheel of Time closer to The Golden Compass than to Narnia, with advantage to the former.

Point is, Wheel of Time's original story already contains themes that only need to be "illustrated" to make it xxx, and that might actually keep a game from falling into the trap of cooking up a shitty story from a checklist of "fetishes" designed to market the game to a profiled audience.
