fusion of Ocarina of time and skyrim. Giant map, bunch of long sidequests, tons of spaces to explore from skyrim, beautiful world, actual content in sidequests, puzzles, straightforward inventory. It'd be more than just this, I'm imaging you get two or three weapon slots, and like 10 possible weapons with some from the atart/starting area and others only accessible from sidequest completion. They don't break except for in plot circumstances(like a villain breaks/steals your sword in a questline, but that's so you can get a different one at the end of it). Every puzzle could be solved in a way you could do it in real life, not one mechanic to the puzzle. For example, if there's vines you need to get rid of, you can burn them if you have a fire weapon, or cut them with a strong enough sword, or get a gardener to deal with them. I'd also want it so you could theoretically kill anyone, but there would be consequences. kill someone central to a sidequest and you have to find a way to work around their absence, or it ends and everyone is pissed at you. You can kill a child but every NPC will hate you and you won't be able to start any more quests, and the stronger ones will try to kill or imprison you. There'd also be meaning to the positions you get. you can become head of the thieves guild if you want and do the quest, but you have to keep doing thief quests, actually plan heists and deal with problems within the members, as well as challengers to your position. I kinda like the idea of there not being a main quest, just a giant world full of places to go and people to see. Basically, I want a game that actually does something with the idea of an open world adventure game other than an adventure game with an empty but giant map.
