>want to play a western fantasy game that doesn't remind me of modern day real life>HAVE to play 20+ year old games>literally no contemporary games for that feelWhat a sad state of affairs
>>729379587Try elden ring. It might be the first inquisitive rpg I've played in 20 years, everything else has warped into an acquisitive game.
>>729379694fucking kill yourself troonflopper
>>729379587It makes sense that fantasy and sci-fi were the first they had to attack and thus are the most captured. Both allow you to craft a world of your dreams and romanticize anything. You can even make a world easily without their nonsense since it wouldn't exist there (or be extinct in the case of stuff set in the future). It is probably why they are so aggressive when pushing the stuff in these genres.
>>729379694Sorry but>eastern fantasy>dark fantasyIt's just not the same
>>729380029This, anti-escapism is a tool of pure evil
>>729379694This is too heady a reply for who we know the OP is.
I'm making a fantasy adventure game. What should I add or don't add to not make it shit? Also gonna dump some fantasy shit, hope you like it

>>729379694No.
>>729380029What puzzles me is why no indie devs have filled the void
>>729381749Because the vast majority of indie potentials who grew up with a love of fantasy have either sunk deeper into their pits of escapism and don't have the ambition to create, or they unironically trooned out because they get TOO deep into escapism and the innocence of fantasy has since been warped by their obsession with identity politics (which came from being in terminally online communities of those who used to share their love of fantasy before the degeneracy spread).You're just never going to find people with the talent AND the drive AND the mental stability to make things like they used to be, because even if the stars align and such a person is born, they'll still get fucked over by obscurity or crushed by the bigger dogs.
I'm afraid to even ask if thats a homm gacha
>>729381749What anon is asking for is outside the scope of an indie dev's mentality. If you understand what anon is looking for you know you won't find it in someone that is poor and indie. If you are indie it means you failed at some point and don't work with others well, for a heightened fantasy game involving all the things anon wants you need someone smart and worldly behind the wheel. That person would have been able to play ball in the medium to secure funding to make their game happen.The fault in the individual is too all consuming for most modern people to create anything of merit like anon wants. When it does exist (elden ring) the OP will reject it because he's the same OP as the adventure vibes threads that rages when elden ring is mentioned. He's a shitposter, but what he wants is real. He'll never get it because of his shitposter ways though. Pearls before swine and all that.
>>729382143This is why we don't have many people eating all these guys' lunches. Most who'd make something good don't have the ambition because these guys have made everyone miserable by ruining entertainment. The ones who still make have fallen to the ideology. It is also why you see the case of things that used to run against censors even under risk of being banned or thrown in jail in the past suddenly cucking now. The ones who wouldn't cuck got to demoralized and just gave up, maybe stopped making stuff all together. The rest who remain always harbored these ideas and were only spiting censors when the ideology deemed it was within use, cucking because they are just continuing to follow their ideology.
>>729379903retard with shit taste
>>729382349Elden Ring is just fundamentally not it thoughIt's like asking for more LOTR (specifically Fellowship) and being recommended Hellraiser, it's schizophrenic to keep insisting they are the same thing

>>729379587what is that OP?
>>729384405see >>729382760
>>729384602An illuminated worldview. Most people simply don't have it anymore. The game maker and the game player alike. Anon yearns for something but he doesn't even have the lexicon needed to ask for what he wants properly. He's been making these threads as a shitpost for over a year now and nothing meets his criteria because he doesn't have to words to solidify his criteria into anything. He's the idiot looking at the shadows in the cave knowing there is something more but not knowing how to pursue it. He isn't ready to accept what he desires as it sits before him as a result.

>>729384935>He's been making these threads as a shitpost for over a year nowHoly newfag, complaining about shit fantasy games has been a staple /v/ thread ever since fantasy games became shit
>>729382349>When it does exist (elden ring)How retarded must one be to believe this?
>>729384935Everyone seems to know this guy from the shitposting, kinda funny.
>>729379694you are correct and detractors are skill-less niggershowever i think OP wants more light fantasy.>>729379587the bad news is that light fantasyslop peaked with daggerfall. the good news is that it's free and infinitely replayable. it doesn't have to be all doom and gloom, play daggerfall today!
>>729385053Really? I recognize the symbols (they are from Homm 5) but I don't remember any town like that, actually I don't remember towns looking like that nor that HUD and font
>>729380318>AI sloppa Into the trash you go already
>>729382760 Exactly this. FromSoft makes great games, sure, but trying to force Elden Ring into the “cozy medieval adventure” slot is brainrot. It doesn't generate that feeling of wonder and companionship like old-school RPGs or stuff like LOTR. It's a lonely, cryptic world soaked in despair and rot, not a whimsical trek through fairytale woods with good lads and pipeweed. People keep mistaking "fantasy" for a genre monolith when tone is just as important as setting. Not every forest is Fangorn, and not every sword-swinging game scratches the same itch.
>>729385387It's an old alpha build
there just aren't any, souless humans recommending "elden ring" lmao don't know what high fantasy isi recommend d&d dragonshard, also champions of norrath
When did it start, Dragon Age 2?
>>729379694>Elden Ring>Western
Classic western fantasy games are something you literally have no choice but to play old games because modern ones don't exist. I'm sorry op but that's the truth.
what are some good light fantasy games?
