I&#39;d like to discus how fantasy RPGs tend to specifically be epic fantasy.<\/p>\n<p>There doesn&#39;t tend to be video RPGs based on sword and sorcery like from Robert E. Howard, literary fantasy like from Mervyn Peake, nor humorous fantasy like from Terry Pratchett (full disclosure: some of these authors I haven&#39;t actually read). I&#39;d imagine that epic fantasy RPGs are common due to company forces like publishers and marketers, as well as game design considerations like a focus on combat excluding things like Peake. Though when Obsidian went independent with Pillars of Eternity they also made it epic fantasy.<\/p>\n<p>This makes me curious about whether the popularity of epic fantasy in RPGs is due to customer demand or just plain tradition?<\/p>\n<p>Cheers,<br \/>\nAaron<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>0:49:48 Mailbag: Favorite Monsters<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Dear Diecast<\/p>\n<p>What is your favorite monster in a video game? No animals, humans or robots allowed.
