The title is quite self-explanatory, methinks. A couple of favorites, mostly medieval fiction:
1. Ivanhoe by Walter Scott. I honestly cannot believe how this has not been adapted into a game yet. It has everything: Fancy Knights, epic Battles & Duels, awesome villains, Lionheart & King John, Robin Hood and his merry band of fuckers, and even some jews for your left-leaning urges (portrayed in a manner that would ensure epic-scale butthurt among the SJW, but surely that's a good thing?)
2. Nigel Loring and The White Band, both by Conan Doyle. Just... Just imagine Battle Brothers / Darklands / M&B crossover with a coherent, story-driven narrative (something both games lacked). Oh my god. The mere thought of it is enough to stir my loins.
3. The Crusaders by H. Sienkiewicz. Only because With Fire and Sword series was already adapted into a M & B add-on. Would be a perfect fit for KCD type of game, mayhaps can serve as an inspiration for its second installment. Sienkiewicz can pen both duels & epic battles with equal mastery and is probably at his best when portraying OTT romantics of chivalry. 100 % gaming material
4. The Adventures of Captain Alatriste by Arturo Perez-Reverte. In comparison with the above mentioned three, this one might be a tad difficult to pull off because of copyright issues, but I for sure would love to play as a 17th century Spanish mercenary who was "a swordsman for those people who did not have the skills or the courage to be".
That would be my five cents. Please do carry on, ladies and gentlemen.
