| Well I don't dislike dragons like you do, I do agree that they have been overused. It gets to a point where there is nothing special to them, and you see them everywhere. I definitely think some RPGs should just not include them, but I think it's a case of developer competitiveness, 'I can make a cooler dragon than those guys over at that other studio.'
I carry similar beliefs that Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, Goblins, and the like are overused too. I'd like to see a game where when you choose race, it's just another kind of human, each with subtle differences. A fantasy RPG set in our world is very rare, but I think they should do it more, could solve a lot of problems with generic peoples and monsters. |
