Decline Poll - What Settings would you like to see more represented in RPG's?

[rado907]

Voted for "low fantasy." I'd like games where magic is either non-existent or weak-sauce and limited, and the world resembles medieval Europe. Battle Brothers is a good example. (Orcs, undead and goblins are somewhat tolerable.)
I'm willing to play almost anything as long as it's good. One exception is the superheroes genre. I don't understand the appeal of superheroes. What's wrong with ordinary heroes?
But by and large I'm getting tired of games whose characters resemble a zoo or a circus freak show. Enough with the manga and anime crap.

I've always wanted to see a computerized version of Millennium's End (which is Modern Day-ish), with full implementation of the body hit locations, transparency attack overlays, damage by ammo type, and multiple wound effects. People would probably hate the density of it all, but it would be one of the most interesting things to come down the pike in a long time.

 

[mondblut]

Anything with enough magic (or technology sufficiently advanced to be indistinguishable from it) to involve stuff that is actually cool to do, gets a pass from me.

 

[Excidium II]

Gimme some neolithic or bronze age fantasy/alt history goodness.

 

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

Let there be low Fantasy Alternate History Games.
I want muh Temeraire setting, dragon crew management combat game.

Polls where you can't see who voted how should be removed.

Has anyone played the MMORPG The Secret World?

 

[Obama Phone 3]

I voted for 4-5 settings but Horror would be my favorite I think. Lovecraftian or something equivalent would be awesome. And I don't think there was ever a properly good RPG in such a setting(WoD aside)

What is WoD?

 

[Excidium II]

I voted everything except high fantasy (because it's overdone in CRPGs), Steampunk (Because it's totally impossible to avoid top hat, goggles and gears dumbfuckery) and Superhero (Because it can't really be done well in CRPGs)

 

[Delbaeth]

Not enough non-fantasy historical RPGs. Would like to see a Renaissance RPG, antiquity RPG, Roman or Greek but other than them: Gallia ? Carthago ? AEgyptus ? Hittite empire ? Nordmen (no, not Vikings) ? Pre-Colombus Americas ? African antiquity ? Mogol ? Angkor ?, and so on.



Stop with elves, dragons, zombies. We already have games for billion lifetimes.

 

[GuiltyofBeingTrite]

Spaghetti Western with Ennio Morricone doing the music.

Arrakis/Dune: Probably has enormous potential for C&C and backstabbing and violent/non violent playthroughs. CD Projekt could pull it off.

As the codex steam group has recently showed us... You really don't want to know the truth of individual codexers tastes.

(...snip) and Superhero (Because it can't really be done well in CRPGs)

Why not?

 

[Excidium II]

Why not?

Well consider spell implementations in D&D CRPGs.

Yeah, no shit. There are only so may ways you can go with fantasy RPGs. Zombies are even less varied.

High, Low, & Dark fantasy have pretty much all become the same thing.

Well, it would be impossible to allow the player to build his own powers like a P&P game, sure. But you still could make a good game if you provided the player with interesting "power sets", I think.

That's what I figured it was, thanks.

 

[Dorateen]

turn-based Dungeons & Dragons setting

 

[Somberlain]

Good high fantasy > everything else. Shame that most high fantasy games are shit. Western is the one setting we desperately need more.

High fantasy!? LOL!

That's pretty much every CRPG ever made.

Western would be boring beyond belief.

Western horror would be better.

 

[Kazuki]

Modern Setting Spy RPG like Alpha Protocol would be nice.

Which makes me sad, that kind RPG will not be make again for foreseeable future

I'm good with SOMA & Bioshock, even though they are not RPGs.
