I am big fan of Fantasy... but mostly it's too cliche. Knights, dragons, elderly wizards, point-eared elves and ugly orcs. Oh, still good but diversions are welcome!
So I am in "techno-fantasy" actually, as it's much rarer in PC games. Steampunk is good. Star Wars is great. Warhammer 40 000 sounds very attractive as setting. Even Batman and Spiderman have it's quite unique place! As I am ok with true SF too (like Ringworld or Fallout), I voted for Future/SF. |

I mostly enjoy fantasy settings, preferably the ones that aren't too bland, cliche or cookie-cutter, such as that of the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series, or maybe even Bioware's "Dragon Age".
But, my favorite setting has to be a combination of those listed in the poll, like Sci-Fi/Fantasy of the "Might & Magic" series, "World of Warcraft", etc. or the combination of Steampunk and Fantasy as seen in Troika's "Arcanum", which was truly unique and amazing

Not sure which setting I would say is my favourite since my favourite genre is simulation, preferably flight sims, be it planes or space ships, WW1 or Star Wars, it's a flight sim. YAY. So which option should I go for?
NB: I pick "contemporary" then since it's the closest match for the average sim.

Oh, well, I chose Fantasy -I think I played more fantasy games than any of the other settings. But rather dark fantasy. Beyond Divinity, Morrowind, Disciples, and such (though I still couldn't find time to try the Krynn series). Sci-fi is good as well, but mostly because Star Wars looks like a sci-fi world (I never said it is) - or maybe Deus Ex is something I'd prefer playing. And for contemporary games I like, maybe crime stories are the best - Max Payne, Mafia.
P.S.: Historical games never really worked because of historical accuracy. Just look at the FPS scene - either they are action movie clones like Call of Duty.

I hate dragons, but I'm seconding Scatty's recommendation, also try Risen

I forgot to say that I hate anything that has zombies in it. Maybe I didn't a couple of years ago, but it's so hackneyed now I'm sick of this retro fad.

Are you only being dense because you don't like Jar Jar Binks? Quote:
Beside, what technology? In Star Wars? There is nothing really technological there, it is really a basic Sci-fiction setting. The Force (and the Jedi) are what make Star Wars different from any other sci-fiction show. Nothing else. |
