Which RPG setting do you prefer?

[Serioli]

Both,although I prefer fantasy. What will also get me is either that will do something slightly (or a lot!) different. As I've said in a previous thread, this is why Morrowind is my favourite game.

I really love Shadowrun RPG and novels too and wish someone would make a SR game.

I don't really like sci-fi, so either the medievally setting of Dragon-age-like-games or just the random settings of JRPGs (which sometimes are slightly medieval too actually).

 

[Arqus_Zed]

So... the Medievil setting is the only fantasy setting you know?
Then how about Victorian Age steampunk settings? Not entirely sure if it can always be counted as a true 'fantasy setting', but I know Final Fantasy IX's steampunk-esque world certainly does.

As for my favorites (except for FF IX):

- Shadow Hearts (I & II) alternate WW I setting that included monsters and magic.

- The modern day post-apocalyptic setting with human souls, demons, magic and lots of occult stuff from Lucifer's Call. Which was practicly an entirely new 'fantasy' setting all on its own.

Seriously, how do you categorise THAT?

European fantasy. Especially if there are airships.

No star-trek shit please, like mass effect. It gives me a right head ache

and yes I like fallout 3 - shows how dumb poeople can be, how greedy and how they destroy their own world due WAAR!! (screams in rage) .... whoops, sorry, back to my point, and I enjoyed dragon age but any Japanese setting is sickening by me.

I like a modern day fantasy setting, where they have the same technology as us but instead of cars running through science their run through magic. So you still have magic and dragons but it's more current, and not sci-fi. Still sci-fi fantasy is still fine as long as people have magic and chase around mythological creatures/monsters. Pure space sci-fi isn't as interesting to me.

You bastard...
no seriously you bastard...
That was not funny at all and I can see you are lacking simple morality, like any other nowadays kid/teenager/adult. what has become with the people of today, sickening.
I hope you burn in hell after crashing in a similair accident, because that was not funny.

Well that's awesome. Thank you for that uplifting statement.

I tend to think of it as Fantasy and Sci-Fi. Maybe it's just the british marketing format affecting me

 

[Harmondale2]

sci-fi by far, for some reason oblivion kinda sucked the fun out of the fantasy setting for me, I used to really love it

The best was might and magic which kinda combined the two, that was great fun

 

[Dr. wonderful]

Personally, I like steam punk like the webcomic Girl genuis.

You can use guns AMD sword.

Everyone wins.

 

[Dexiro]

I like anything if it's done right.

Generic fantasy settings (swords n dragons) are good as long as a lot of imagination has gone into them. Just plonking a dragon and some magic onto an empty field like in Oblivion is boring, it needs more variety and cool stuff that we don't have in real life

Sci-fi is good too as long as it's light-hearted. Like Ratchet and Clank :3

Seriously, what you have said was morally irresponsible, and you should be ashamed.

 

[Mozared]

I like both, but for different reasons. Sci-fi is interesting purely because it's so science-based. Stuff we see in Star Trek wouldn't be an unthinkable future for earth, and thinking about connections with other civilizations, finding civilizations still in their 'dark ages' and exploring the idea of gaseous forms of life is something I find pretty interesting.

That said, for pure 'fantasy' nothing beats the good ol' medieval might & magic with fireballs and swords setting. That's the kind of fantasy that seems unlikely to ever exist but is lovely for it's elusiveness.

 

[Kajt]

Also, Starcraft. Especially the Protoss.

but now you remind me of all the failed games

Don't think of the games, think of SG-1 and Atlantis!

I'd like to think that this subject is entirely opinion.

Give me the ability to bend matter to my will any day. Medieval Magic beats Sci-fi tech any day.
