[QUOTE="Sejs, post: 1803189, member: 4910"] Yeah, technically the designers are the ones that lay down that sort of thing. In the same way that the designers say that Frost Giants are big, icy vikings rather than saying Frost Giants are big, purple skinned, democratic samoans with mohawks that play the violin. But then again, the designers are the same folks that say elves have pointy ears. Maybe you don't like your elves with pointy ears, and hey you're free to have non-pointy eared elves in your game. But alot of folks, the majority I'd venture to say, like their elves with pointy ears (traditional fantasy like), just the same way they like their fire creatures using fire attacks (traditional fantasy like) and their cold creatures using cold stuff (again, traditional fantasy like). And those same designers understand that when most of their target consumers want a traditional fantasy game, that they should design a traditional fantasy game. Much in the same way that a country singer knows that the majority of people who buy his records like country music, and that if he releases an R&B album many folks won't buy it because it's not what they want.
