RPG Setting/Lore Discussion Thread

I mostly went around being nice to everyone and beating the shit out of the hacking minigames in Fallout 3 and had fun. I can't aim for shit, but I guess that's what VATS is for. And if you MinMax combat no longer becomes an issue.

I really don't like Bioware's production ethos in general, but Dragon Age wasn't that bad really. Really good dialogue and solid combat. It's just the faux MORAL CHOICES and sometimes the controls that made me grimace.

I need to play a WRPG that's actually Modern Fantasy. All I see is High Fantasy, Space Opera and Post-Apoc. Then again, hardly any games are Modern Fantasy; besides Survival Horror genre (which I don't really play) and the SMT games.

WRPGs never have High Fantasy, just Tolkien Fantasy. High Fantasy is for the japs. Tolkien Fantasy, Space Opera and Post-Apoc are pretty much the whole western market in general. High Fantasy is like... FF5, 9, and 12.

EDIT: nvm high fantasy = tolkien fantasy
im thinking of somehting else it was like... advanced fantasy or something. i forget. but the term was used for basic fantasy settings with technological and magical advancements
