I get that. Sometimes the best way to fall back in love with a book is time apart from it. If you stare at a canvas too long you'll start second guessing everything. Stepping away from a piece of art lends it fresh perspective. Nobody should ever take anything they write so seriously they can't bear to write something else; that's the kiss of death for any author.

Gravity will do that to you.

The biggest dilemma with adapting WoK, is that the world is so alien. Almost every scene would need to be CGI. I don't even think Game of Thrones budget would be enough. Also, Stormlight is planned to be a 10 book series, and we're only on book 3. We don't want the show-runners to catch up and make up their own fan-fiction. I hate to say it, but better to wait until the 2040s once the series is complete and CGI technology is more advanced.

Two points. One is that Brandon Sanderson is fast and consistent with his writing so having the show-runners catch up is somewhat less of a problem. Secondly the 10 books are actually split into 2 sets of 5 with a time-leap (of 15 years or something) in between, just if you didn't know.

I'm not sure. A show needs a whole cycle of climaxes every hour or so, depending on episode length. The action in Stormlight is more gradual. If it's done well, it might work, but I fear that it might ruin sections, particularly Kaladin's depression and suicidal thoughts. My biggest fear is that they'll turn "Way of Kings" into a two hour, pg-13 rated disappointment.

I haven't even watched the video and I know Mistborn is the damn answer. Like dude, steel and iron's blue lines are pretty much a videogame visual cue, you could have coin shooting, you could push yourself around the city, emotional allomancy would be another "stance" completely since you rarely use it at the same time as physical allomancy, tin would let you zoom in and hear shit, pewter will double your health and could have like a red glow and stuff, and copper and bronze would also be super easy to show visually, and atium would look so goddamn cool yo... And honesly, all these things would look better in a videogame than in a live action adaptation. It's a no brainer.

I barely made it through the first book in the Wheel of Time series. Were the books that Brandon Sanderson co-wrote with Robert Jordan any better?

It would be interesting to start out with Kelsier and Vinn training on basic powers, then expand to social events like old school bioware interactions as you gain influence and try to ballance your sooths and riots in convos with out being detected... Then as the game progresses you start working on the houses and have to ballance them to go to war at the right time. Of course, "There is no Kelsier level" secretly hidden after the end of the first "book". Though honestly, it would probably be hard to program all that into one game and it would be better to have a stand alone story with unique characters placed in a separate era.

The best author. Mistborn is my favorite series ever! The originality of the magic system is insane.

I would love to see a push/pull flying system worked out in a game. XO

I want mistborn for something, anything as a visual concept. The stormlight archive isn't complete yet, so I can't give my opinion on that.

Steelheart would be a dope “Telltale Games” style video game.

I’d love to see a Mistborn game!!!

The first of Brandon's books I read was Elantris. And the element of the "undead" happened to remind me of dark souls.

I always figured that Mistborn would work best as an animated series. Whenever I saw pictures in my head og the settings it was always animated. I remember one time, after having read all three Mistborn books from Era 1 in about 4 days I dreamt that the first book had become an animated series. It was super weird but also cool in some sort of way

Yes. Please make a mistoborn video game, that would be sick! Also a mistborn and/or stormlight show would be amazing! Please (if possible) cut as few corners as you can, a (preferably long) show would be far better than a 2 hour movie.
