[QUOTE="jsears2002, post: 5075372, member: 54412"] I think, after dwelling on it today, that might be close to what I feel. It isn't so much that I don't like those races, but, except for maybe Dragon Age, the feeling of the classic fantasy races have gone 'cartoony'. I guess I kinda like the idea that if the idea of evolution were ever presented, it could be believed. I personally think that other races should be present in the world too; that just humans isn't always far enough from reality that I would seek that out. As far as borrowing from Sci-Fi races, I like some of the Mass Effect races, and could consider changing them around for a fantasy race. I think I need to clarify what I meant about knowing the ins and outs of myths and legends. I wasn't talking the characters in the game. I was referring to the players who have gamed in other worlds and have seen elves living in trees, the drow in caves, the dwarves mining ore, and the trolls who only die by fire or acid. I meant to say I want to knock them off their meta-gaming pedestals. [/QUOTE]
