>> ^Winstonfield_Pennypacker: I have enjoyed the game so far, and I don't have a beef with it using 'standard fantasy' as its chosen backdrop. I think they changed it up nicely enough with the elves being 2nd class citizens, Dwarves being anti-magic gurus, and humans being Theo-political mixes. I have to agree with Y's sentiment of being tired of humans always being the prats in the story. Oh well. Anyway, an enjoyable game and that's what matters. I don't need games to be radical new innovations to like them.
Yahtzee is all wrong about it being standard fantasy. and it's actually bad that it isn't. if by standard he means tolkienesque. and dragon age ain't tolkiensque.
edit: Also, it is a bit dark. but it's more horror dark than fantasy type dark. Rape, eating flesh, torture, cannibalism. I'm surprised no one's commented on that.
