Which RPG setting do you prefer?

[Ghostkai]

Anything with some genuine fantasy thrown in. I'm fed up of realism, I want some escapism.

 

[Red Rum]

I'm sick of both fantasy AND sci-fi settings for RPGs. I would make one set in a modern day city. It'd be turn-based, because no-one's made a turn-based RPG in ages!

 

[Boxes_Of_Boxes]

Would present with magic count as fantasy?

 

[Deef]

The futury ones. But not super futury, like realistically futury.

 

[inflamessoilwork]

I prefer the sci-fi setting, the medeival setting has just been done too much in my opinion.

 

[Forever of the Stars]

I prefer Earthbound's setting. So I don't know some sort of fucked up present day...

The guy was making fun of the Airplane crash that had the polish president (and half the damn government) on it!

I don't mean to sound heartless, but the saying "Don't put all your eggs in one basket" exist for a reason.

Mayhap they did not have this exact scenario in mind, but the theory is sound. *shrugs*

Well St. Psycho, wouldn't you call it disrespectful to refer to them as the "damn government" if you care so much?

I guess that would be a viewpoint of perspective, really.

Am I offended? No.

I find it slightly ironic and funny that half of Poland's gov't were wiped out, in Russia, on their way to a memorial built to the deaths of many of Poland's elite corps at Russia's hands.

The universe has a wicked sense of humor. If you can't set back and laugh at that, you'll eventually go crazy. If you take offense at every imagined insult, you won't live long enough to go insane.

So, I'll just sit back, chuckle to myself, and go on with it all.

Sorry St. Psycho, my bad! I meant to direct that quote at Project Omega. Oops.

 

[Hyperactiveman]

Doesn't matter about the theme or setting of the game but the game itself. I got more into Mass Effect 1 then Mass Effect 2 because number 2 missed the RPG elements. However Dragon Age was lots of fun and felt much more in-depth then both of them. I was more into Fallout then Oblivion but both games still pissed me off and bored the hell out of me at similar points in the game.

BioWare beats Bethesda in my books "only" because of the combat in their games.

 

[Wolfgurl]

They're all great. I play all of them. so.. :3

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

I prefer the Steampunk feeling of Arcanum, which i recently uninstalled by mistake... XD

between magic and technology! which side will you choose? or will you choose a social character? or perhaps in between?

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

I like both but I prefer swords and spells over starships and lasers.

 

[Tony2077]

i like any but prefer sci fi space ones

 

[Tomster595]

I love a Medieval setting

 

[Delock]

I like the whole fantasy meets some sort of technology (FFIX, X, XIII), but I'd settle for something medieval turns fantasy (Legend of the Dragoon, Tales).

That being said, I loved Mass Effect and found Fallout's whole apocalyptic setting sort of fun.

 

[Jinx_Dragon]

All of them...

Personally though I fall back onto Steam Punk. A nice blending of technology and magic that can be quite beautiful to behold.

 

[Ack-ack]

arcanum of steamworks and magick obscura, its steampunk vs. magick setting has not been bested yet.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Modern.
(See: Persona 2, Dreamfall, Bloodlines)

 

[Cakekey]

I love them both, really. Fantasy tends to bore me, though. there's always two dozen gods, some good, some bad, a mix of races, with tension between them and everything, some guilds here and there, different schools of magic, etc... I just don't remember the last time a Fantasy Game really surprised me at all.

That's why I like Sci-Fi more. There's always new, interesting technology, they tend to have more shooter action as well, which I always like, and all sorts of interesting landscapes to explore, thanks to the possibility of space travel.Except for Fallout, though Fallout makes up for it with its own charm, and delightfully diverse characters.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

My favorite is when they all kinda collide into one strange and fantastic world. Yes, I want my cake and I plan on eating it now watch as I use this plasma cannon on that Mythril-scaled Wyvern [rolls a pair of 1's, trips over my feet and blows myself into it's mouth. This all being recorded and broadcast live across the planet]

 

[DefunctTheory]

Space opera. More possibilities if done right, though done wrong it can possibly be the worst.
