I think it would be significantly darker in tone. Modern fantasy films, shows and games are much darker in tone than that of Middle Earth.
I also dont think we would have alignment given that many modern fantasy and sci shows (Game of thrones, The expanse, the Witcher) have more nuanced notions of morality that the traditional alignment system.
I am not even sure that classes would exist. While I personally feel that classes are super important in a team based game, I think the spirit of our time is more about customization. While it is impossible to remove the influence of D and on all modern computer games, most games now do not have classes (Skyrim, Witcher, cyberpunk etc).
