[QUOTE="Jhaelen, post: 5286916, member: 46713"] I've never had the slightest interest in Birthright. The premise, to me, sounds utterly boring. The setting seemed to focus on the things my characters would do after I've turned them into an npc, i.e. everything I don't enjoy acting out myself. It's not that I dislike politics in and of themselves, but a game focusing on politics? I'll pass. Note, that one of my favorite rpgs is Ars Magica. In Ars Magica you can play nobles and regents, too. You can have adventures focused on politics at a variety of different levels but you don't have to. Imho, the game caters to a wider choice of play styles. For me the important part is the focus: Ars Magica is focused on magic. That's interesting and fun. It's also based on real-world history, which is a big plus, imho, since you get the richest background you could ever wish for in a setting. Why settle for anything less (i.e. something like Birthright)? [/QUOTE]
