Nah, I've given up on bioware some time back, and other than my boy Emmrich I'm not seeing much to get excited for. She seems to be enjoying it, tho.

Fantasy isn't a genre I enjoy that much so I don't really get those kinds of games.

ETA: Edited for drunkenness. Lol.

I was more into fantasy when I was younger and didn't ask myself sabotaging questions like "Wait, has toilet paper been invented in this setting yet?". These days I'm far more into Sci-fi, because I know everyone has a functional understanding of hygiene standards.

But I used to love those games, the first two at least, primarily because of nothing at all to do with the fantasy setting, and entirely because I loved the characters.

The only fantasy I was ever into was Mercedes Lackey and I think that was just because "OMG I love talking animals!!!!!!!!!". I was that kind of kid. Otherwise, just not a fan (and I have tried). I do enjoy some scifi horror though.

The closest I got to "fantasy gaming" was WoW. And I would have not gotten into it if it wasn't for my sister.

I'm curious, is it the setting? The times frame? The tropes and trappings? What turns you off about fantasy?

Like I've been reading a bit of wuxia and xianxia recently, which is sort of like chinese low fantasy and high fantasy respectively? What about more like Narnia or Oz? I guess Narnia is sort of medieval adjacent, tho... Wonderland maybe?

I can get into sci-fi horror there are some of the "love death and robots" episodes that still haunt me years later, but I've been craving more hopeful stuff like star trek recently.

I don't really know? Maybe the tropes. I've tried LOTR and GoT. Plus various other smaller authors. The only fantasy I kind of like is urban fantasy like Rivers of London. Even fantasy movies I'm pretty meh on.

The Wuxia/Xianxia I've seen doesn't interest me but that could be because it is the shows and I hate how fake the characters are.

I am more drawn to less hopeful stuff when I'm feeling down. Probably not the best coping mechanism. 😅

Hm, that's interesting, You've tried both ends of the classic fantasy scale. I'm trying to think of less standard fantasy. Did you ever give discworld a read?

I've read The Colour of Magic and didn't hate it. But I felt no need to read the others. I need to find some more animal centric fantasy to tap into my horse girl childhood. Lol.

Fair enough, de gustibus non est disputandum.

I cant speak too much to animal centric. I watched the animals of farthing wood when I was way too young, and seeing talking animals die has made all but the happiest, edge-free media unwatchable to me. You show me Ed Stark getting his head lopped off, and I'm like "Whoa, bummer" but you tell me about Aslan biting the dust, and I am a wreck for days...

I just realized the other two fantasy kind of stories I loved. Watership Down and The Secret of NIMH. I'm a true animal girl and I doubt there are many adult options of those. :(

Honestly, books don't often hit me hard. I've only gotten got by a few like A Man Called Over or Never Let Me Go. It's gotta be made to be tearjerkers (or I have to be in the worst mood).

Watership down.

...

Well, that's me with the thousand yard stare and childhood flashbacks.

I loved that book. And Bambi and The Plague Dogs.....you know...I like weird books about animals having fucked up lives. That's a therapy session if I could afford them. Lol.

That's interesting to me. Because superheroes, at least the ones with magic, would count as urban fantasy I think? Like Thor is definately more towards traditional fantasy. But characters like Doctor Strange are more urban fantasy. And even elements of Captain America have some fantasy to them.

I can see that. And I love the MCU (to a point). I guess I see them more as scifi?
