Everything is out there if you look hard enough, but nya, I'll list what I want to see more often.
More fixed health. The health regen is starting to get old, and makes the game easy with no real 'tight spots'
--- From dust-ish puzzle games. Where you have to use physics to solve a problem out, not just move blocks around.(Dynamic water)
--- More character focused stories, not world. I'm getting tired of saving the world. Why am I the only one that can?
--- Humor and happy attitude. I'm not saying happy care bears 100% time. Just not depressing 100% time. Who can feel bad with some one that can't physically be happy, or even relate to?
--- Less realism. Too much realism makes a game boring. Just Cause 2's realism didn't exist, and it was fun as hell.
--- Extreme realism. On the opposite side is survival, where you consistently need to survive from harsh environments. Survivalish game. Hunt for food and build shelter up. Kinda like minecraft, but.. realistic. Where you have to hunt to survive, risk your life, and more sadistic, cause who doesn't like gore.(the media)

killing Romans, sure we are getting Rome 2 soon but I have no idea if you can kill Romans in that game, which is something we definitely need to do more of.
kill all Romans. just like in fallout new Vegas, except more Roman killing.
seriously fuck the Romans.

player-shrinking mechanics
I know it sounds odd but I feel its a great way of stealing the power fantasy or making an environment more elaborate, the interest isnt in the entire world shrinking, for an example:
grunts in HALO, you slog through them, boom: your tiny, now theres a grunt boss-fight where its trying to stomp or otherwise crush you, it would be fun even as a reverse hoard-mode

In this day and age where the technology for creating massive colorful and beautiful new worlds is right at our finger tips and yet they still continues to make games like COD or Battlefield, I play games to escape reality, not live it. Yeah sure, we have mass effect, dragon age, final fantasy and the elder scrolls but they are now just adding installments to the worlds they have already given us, besides, they are all RPG's (which I do love by the way) it would be nice to see new worlds enter other genres, instead of dragging them further and further into reality.
I guess you could say, the concept I would like to see again is originality. I know, it's a crazy idea! Suggesting originality makes me look like a madman, but that is what I'd most like to see. XD

Different settings. Steampunk and dark sci-fi/cyberpunk and post-apocalypse, high fantasy etc are all good but it's long been getting stale. I loved the angle in Arcanum, a world of high fantasy that underwent an industrial revolution and is now a steampunk/fantasy mash up. It was super fresh and interesting, more of that please, or other twists on the usual settings. How about some more alternate history? Like in Jamestown for example. Imagine a setting where the Nazis won WW2 and you have to lead a rebellion in England? Or imagine what if the Native americans had successfully defended North America from the colonialists and have taken up diplomatic relations with Europe and advanced their technology? How would their culture have changed? That's especially interesting when you see that they already had adapted by learning to use rifles. There's so much stuff there nobody bothers exploring.
