Peeping Tom - the game.
This is a light-hearted game idea, just my Benny Hill-meets-Psycho imagination running riot. No offense intended.
Picture this:
The game environment would be an after-dark innercity shopping area at Christmas time full of all kinds of curious characters, such as street entertainers, Elvis impersonators, fake Father Christmas', drag queens, pick-pockets, buskers, end-of-the-world doom merchants, and of course, more "normal" citizens.
Buildings would include casinos, fast food diners, strip joints, videogame arcades, nightclubs, offices, cafes, and residental structures.
Every building would have detailed interiors, and every room and space would be accessible to you (the player). For instance: gamble at the casino, go dancing at the nightclub, play games at the arcade, pay for a lap dance at the strip joint, buy a burger at the fast food outlet, etc.
The lead character would be a rather dubious so-and-so named Tom 'Boggy' Dawson, a keen amateur photographer and a member of the local historical society. Viewed in 3rd person, his appearance would be the classic and universal depiction of the dirty-old-man, i.e. long brown overcoat, small black hat, large square spectacles and fluffy moustache.
The Gameplay would see our unsavoury lead character being capable of performing many different stealth and acrobatic moves - from crouching, crawling, jumping and sneaking, to picking locks, skulking in the shadows and climbing ladders. He would be able to go almost anywhere in the urban game area.
The innercity design would be very complex and detailed, as would the lead character's physical abilities and moves.
The goal of the game would basically be this: scattered throughout the innercity zone are 100 naked and rather gorgeous women in various fixed and unknown positions - i.e taking a shower with the curtains undrawn, etc.
All Tom (you the player) would have to do is explore the large urban game area in a stealthy manner armed only with his big'n'powerful zoom-lens camera, and capture on film all the nude lovelies to complete the game.
The game's purpose is made difficult by the fact that the ladies are only naked and "in view" at certain set times during each evening (dusk till dawn).
It's a simple and err, interesting idea I think, but to get into the right and necessary positions in order to take the photos would take alot of exploration and avoidance stealth.
You must not allow the victim (so to speak) to know that you are prowling with intent, and you must not let any other good citizens know of your shadey designs as they would alert the cops.
Stealth, interaction (with items and scenery), exploration, and strategy would be the main gameplay features.
The zoom lens camera would work just like a powerful sniper rifle (except without the bullets obviously).
Talk to any of the people milling about in the game area and they will offer you subtle hints as to the possible whereabouts of "the ladies" you seek in your dodgy quest.
Capture all 100 naked babes on film to complete the game.
The music would naturally be instrumental ditties of a sleazy-saxophone-bluesy-funk type, and at any time you'd be able to view a photo album featuring your successful snaps of the ladies.
There you go - sort of a perverse version of Pokemon for the Loaded generation.

I understand what you mean. I'll probably end up doing a similiar thing.
At the moment, even though I'm the Nerevarine, I'm thinking of becoming a serial killer - targeting all Imperial soliders. I'm so powerful, I reckon I could slaughter the entire imperial legion and resist arrest.
Then move on to all Argonians, then all Telvanni, etc....
Become the Dark Nerevarine - Messiah gone bad.
I must admit I wanted to join forces with Dagoth Ur & the Sixth House and destroy the world with him. But the game wouldn't allow it. Pity.

By the time my character is hard as nails, I get bored and want to try something else.
The first few times I played, I started over because I has a much better understanding of how the game worked, so I could do things better then next time round. The next few characters were just trying different things out - warrior, wizard, diplomat (custom class, didn't really work :D ), assassin, thief, etc - generally I tended only to serious attempt one guild per character too.
Currently I have a couple of characters lying around that I might actually use again - one is the character I've completed Tribunal with, and another is a knight character I created for a challenge - the challenge being not to steal anything, murder anyone without just cause, or use any trainers or 'cheap' means to increase my skills.

Looks like I'm missing out on some Morrowind goodness with my inferior Xbox version.
How come you've never fulfilled the Nerevarine prophecies?
Having said that, I'm still a bit mystified as to what the 6th & 7th trials are.... but now I'm just wandering the land killing baddies, exploring the places I haven't been.

They're both in Tribunal, you won't find them elsewhere.
You also get to meet Azura.

And there's another god as well isn't there? Sotha Sil. Is he still knocking about?

I prefer to think of myself as a failed incarnate. I've got about a dozen characters, none of which has even seen Dagoth Ur :)

Tis true. I thought I'd rename myself in honour of the great predestined one. Anyhow, Dagoth Ur told me I was He, and I believe him. ;-)

There was a 'Peeping Tom' game released on the PC a year or so ago actually, though it didn't really sell too well.
I can't remember what it was called... something to do with Bikinis I think. Anyway, the premise was basically that you wandered around taking pictures of ladies in bikinis without getting caught. I think it was an 'adult' title...
