I started my interest in science fiction and fantasy with sword and sorcery, for me science fiction and space fantasy came somewhat later. I love them both, but right now tend to be interested in Science Fiction more due to the idea that it's "the romance of the future" so to speak, and I like reading about how people think things will develop, and how they might work. Especially when you consider that guys like Jules Verne wound up being surprisingly on target with how a lot of things actually developed (though he was also wrong about a lot of them as well).
I guess I'd say Science Fiction nowadays, almost painful to say it though since I do still love my sword and sorcery.

Yeah I can dig the fantasy future settings of FFX and FFXIII.
I'm bored to tears with the Medieval style settings. I'll still play a game in these setting if it's good obviously, but it tends to get my eyes rolling.

Yeah Medieval. There would be animals to hunt, and if it is how the douchey people portray medieval these days (see Legend of the Seeker for further reference), then there would be lots of... women... I won't into detail. (Are we alowed to use the term "busty" on here?)
Either that or Deus Ex style setting. Where it's the future but everything is intact and... futuristic.

I'd agree here. Give me swords over lasers anyday. I also like airships, so I suppose I'm closer to steampunk, or a Final Fantasy setting.LitleWaffle said:
Fantasy, especially the Elder Scrolls series because unlike most fantasy, it is somewhat original.
Medieval: Lord of the rings, no question
Sci-Fi: Ooooh, Mass Effect if one of the creators implemented a more Hitchhiker's Guide feel to the next one, not zaney as such, just more human and less Sterile and military.
And if the OP permits a combo option : Star Wars, incredible space and other-worldy feel of adventure and politics with the brute tribal force (Jedi vs. Sith) of a more medieval feel.

I quite like the alternate modern day, or near-future settings.
Its not quite fantasy, but the sort of environment like [PROTOTYPE]
Either that, or the awesome world of metal from Brutal Legend.

If we're talking actual 'fantasy', I prefer the kind without magic or with it being a trait feared. (Eg: The Night Angel Trilogy books by Brent Weeks)
In the Sci-Fi setting, Mass Effect really fucking rocks out with its cock out. Humanity being the minor player emphasizes the feeling of emptiness and infinity that space brings.
