Re: A question for Tolkien fans...

(Anonymous) 2018-09-19 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Fantasy is a very schooled opinion for me, since every fantasy since Tolkien's time seemed to simply steal the people and place he took in creating his landscape.
Regardless of the myths and legends Tolkien built his stories from- most of what I see today are just Elf this, and Magic that, maybe a Dwarf here and there... Given that I love history and the beliefs that comes with it, I cant help but be exasperated by so many creators attempts to replicate a 'fantasy' setting by just taking from whats popular without any knowledge of what they're taking from.

I can't say I know any of the listed authors by name, but I'm basically in fear of looking at another creators name, only to find the same old garbage spewed by everyone else in this century;;
The most I'll play is Dragon Age, since I took the first game as such a joke, I could at least build my characters from that first impression... I don't doubt I make probably the worst decisions because of it- but at least I have fun all the while;;

I want to be able to love fantasy, but it's the lack of consistency that makes me think twice about it;;
