More the idea.  A Fantasy action/rpg where you get to fly around on a
dragon and fight other dragons, dragon riders, as well as incinerate
ground forces.

 So Dragon Strike and Drakan: Order of the Flame, maybe Eragon?
 

I also miss the god games.  Populous, Master of Magic, Black and White.
Of course those are well known and other than Black and White have been
attempted over and over, but no one ever seemed to approach the
originals in any way that was particularly fun.

 While I played these back in the day, somehow they were all too
forgettable.
 

More Wing Commander III type games, yes even with FMV.  Can you imagine
something like that with the crew from Firefly?

 I don't think I ever played WC3.
1, 2, privateer, 4, 5, privateer2, starlancer, freelancer, but not wc3.

WC3 was the best of them by far, also Mark Hamill, John Rhys-Davies, Malcolm McDowell did a bang up job for a video game.  WC4 was similar but not as good to actually play, it was more movie than game.  I don't know that WC3 would hold up at this point though.  Especially as I don't even have a flight stick any more, and can't see paying for one just to play it, and ruin my nostalgic memories.  I only played 1 and 2 on a friend's computer.  I don't remember if I even played 5, I did play the lancer and privateer games as well.
Here's a little review of the PS version of WC3. Apparently the 3do is the best version according to the interwebs. It actually still looks remarkably good to me (heavy accent, suggest using CC.)
