    Because it's such an overused setting in RPGs, right? Unlike fantasy, we could sure use a few more of those!

    Yes, we're missing epic, high fantasy RPGs. Tired of low fantasy, sci fi, post apocalyptic, and all that generic trash.

    You've already opened the window to dismiss anything I come up with.
    Define your terms and I'll consider it.

    brytenwalda was an excellent hardcore mod, though the transition from modding to actual game developing is a rocky one.

    I hope there'll be a plausible explanation of why the descendants of those who fled to Moon and Mars would go extinct unless Earth is reclaimed. Plot holes filled with gracious amounts of handwavium in the background lore are huge immersion breakers for me.

    I was hoping they'd do another historical game like Viking Conquest, but set in Spain since the developers are mostly Spanish.

    Perhaps, but well executed high fantasy goes above any other genre. And there are 0 well executed high fantasy games.

    Meh... i am not saying there can't be any good high fantasy, but the genre overall is mostly creatively bankrupt.

    Yes, but not nearly as much as high fantasy.

    High fantasy is also the most overused genre in RPGs. You can count (non-post-apoc) sci-fi RPGs on one hand. Mass Effect, Star Wars KotoR, Iron Tower's upcoming Colony Ship, and some obscure indies like Titan Outpost and Space Wreck, as well as some obscure old 80s and 90s games (Planet's Edge, Buck Rogers, Starflight).

    Meanwhile you need an entire collection of severed hands to count all the high fantasy RPGs.
