What is your favorite setting in an RPG and what is its general geography?
My favourite setting in an RPG is high fantasy. With a rich history to the world. A lot of skills and classes, abundant weapons and armours, magic, and lore. My general geography preference is an abundant variety if possible. If I had to pick one though, it would be forests. I feel they are ripe for exploration and storytelling.
Do you like your typical high fantasy woods, forests and tall mountains?
Certainly.
Do you prefer something more out of the ordinary, like Morrowind's ash storms, swamps and a Blight spewing volcano?
No, I don't prefer it. But I am totally ok with it. I like high, low, dark, and obscure fantasy. A special note to swamps since they were mentioned. I think swamps aren't used enough. When they are though, I usually am quite fond of them.
Do you like realistic geography that makes sense? A North Pole, South Pole, extremes of temperature, different climates, and so on?
I prefer the geography to be based on earth's known geography. Something that can be traversed on foot, even if it is difficult. The occasional extraoridinary geographical area is fine, if done for a reason. If I am playing a space exploration type game, then anything goes.
