Which RPG setting do you prefer?

[LWS666]

do you prefer the sci-fi space setting of Fallout 3/Mass Effect or the Medeival setting of Oblivion and Dragon Age, or some other setting (although i'm pretty sure no other exists).

personaly i prefer the medieval setting with dragons and swords. i don't know why, it's just a preferance.

so tell me word readers, which do you prefer?

I love both, actually. I'm a Sci-Fi geek, but in gaming I also adore the fantasy settings. Impossible to pick, in my case.

I'm really starting to get bored of the medieval setting, I like space and post apocalyptic but my favourite is the high-tec fantasy world similar to FFX and FF13.

 

[The Undoer]

I absolutely adore World of Warcraft style fantasy, and by that I mean, Medieval with a fair chunk of "impossible" unrealism thrown in, it is Fantasy after all.

I wouldn't call Fallout 3 a 'space setting'. You can't really compare Fallout's post-apocalyptic setting with Mass Effect's space-opera setting.

On topic, I don't prefer any one type of setting. As long as the setting is well-done, I don't care if it's a space opera, sword-and-sorcery, real world, or anything else.

Hard to pick, I like Sci Fi and Fantasy but this is pretty hard to pick.

Sod it now you made me want to play The Longest Journey.

In games I prefer the scifi settings like Mass Effect but I prefer the fantasy settings in books and movies. That seems strange to me

 

[sogortheogre]

I like all kinds of different settings, but the medieval fantasy setting is one of my favorites.

 

[Jaranja]

Hi-tech but not in space.

 

[A Pious Cultist]

There is only one fantasy setting: Middle earth
There are two sci-fi settings: Utopian Federation and Rusty Post-Apocolypse

This is a difficult question to answer.

I suppose I like both settings provided they are executed well although the super-macho Western high fantasy atmosphere is usually harder to pull off well.

 

[StarofAzura]

Both, but I like fantasy a la Oblivion and Dragon Age just a little bit more.

 

[LitleWaffle]

I think sci-fi is okay, but i really prefer medieval settings.

Swords are so much more fun!

 

[Benj17]

I was completely mislead by this title, so i'm just going to stick to my guns and say the office setting

doesn't seem that strange.

welcome to the escapist btw.

Hi-tech but not in space.

I believe the term you are looking for is Cyberpunk [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberpunk]. A setting which I rather like myself.

I've always preferred Sci-Fi well over Medieval settings. There's far more variety and potential with Sci-Fi because the options presented are so vast. But typical fantasy seems to have this issue with re-producing the same things over and over again, very rarely do you see much that seems to stray from the beaten path of dwarfs and elves.

Sure you can say a lot about Sci-Fi is the same, but the ratio of really unique sci-fi worlds to unique fantasy worlds is much higher.

 

[FinalDream]

The whole Orcs, Eves and Dwarfs fantasy setting makes me fall asleep.....zzzz.....they lack much imagination and always revolve around the same clichés.

 

[JWW]

It depends on my mood, both are great in their own way.

But I'll go with Sci-Fi because it is more inventive than fantasy.
