The traditional fantasy RPG always makes sure to include the various elements people expect from the genre. Whether or not it's huge caverns filled with masses of gold and teeming with the undead, or serene forests filled with elves and other gentle creatures, or even a dragon on top on a mountain, the developers always make sure to play it safe and give the fanboys exactly what they want.


Needless to say, The Gaming Brit doesn't really care for the cliché's. He finds them tired, boring, and in short he finds that pandering to what people expect from a particular genre doesn't really give you much wiggle room when it comes to creativity. Of course there's always exceptions to the rule, but the most part developers love to stick to what works and tweak it slightly so as not to upset the status quo.


Watch on, as The Gaming Brit examines precisely what's wrong with this ideology, while offering some ideas of his own to reinvigorate the genre. Enjoy!
