Full conversions:
EK2 - duh
The Fallen Eagle - last days of antiquity. Pretty fun mod and actively being developed
LotR: Realms in Exile - Middle Earth Mod. Have tons of potential but development is slow and moved in very weird direction adding many noncanon realms in far south and not having elves, dwarves and hobbits at all. Orcs are pretty fun though.
Godherja - probably biggest mod now, about fantasy apocalypse-in-progress world.
The Way of Kings CK3 - based on Sanderson "Stormlight Archives", didn't played much, seems fairly oneshotter though
Shogunate - Japanese age of war mod. Pretty good, but being hampered by not enough customisation options.
Princes of Darkness - oldest total conversion still in work, based on Vampire: The Masquerade TTRPG. Pretty good, with many interesting bookmarks and characters.
Apotheosis - about hellenic age, pretty neat
There's more, but i checked those ones.
Dishonorable mention: The Bronze Age - super high potential mod that was abandoned by devs and then they pretended to work on it for almost 2 years. Not cool.
Not including After the End on here...tsk tsk
They aren't even on workshop.
That last part seems like a lot of mod projects, tbh.
Yeah, though CK3 have slight better track on this than most games. This was the only major total conversion abandoned so far. Problem is, it was half-offcial, they started to work on it months before release, allowed by PDX, what you see now is basically the state they already had on release of the game.
Plus, CK3 has A Mod of Ice and Fire.
What could be better?
It's not released yet and don't know when it will be. It is made by the same team as their mod for CK2, which means the possibility of epicness is high.
Noice.
I'm re-reading AGOT for the first time now.
Feels kinda different 30 years later when the 6th book is still not written.
I know, right?
Series started in 1996 and is reaching its 30th anniversary (it's currently 2023).
That's... bad, actually. Fans have died not knowing "what happens next," let alone the ending.
Autor is in his 70't too afaik, and 6th book is "nearly ready" for like 8+ years at least. book 5 released in 2011.
He will die and Sanderson will finish it lol.
I don't really like BrandoSando that much, tbh.
I do. Depend on books though, but he's currently top fantasy writer. I especially love his forst book "Elantris". Stormlight is very good too. His most famous cycle "Mistborn" is pretty much overrated, but i love how he learned through it and took feedback, for example in the first book he did ridiculously overworded action descriptions dragging endlessly, but later he did resigned from that.
Another thing i like is his take on magic. For every new setting he thinks of something fun and new and mostly coherent to be integral part of his world, instead of making magic recycled puken out pseudo-mysterious pizza like most other authors.
Other his books i read: Warbreaker - good, Rithmatist - scholomance genre but actually very good, Skyward - worst i ever read and only one i never read more than once.
