Sorry if this has already been said guys
But how about a more contemporary setting? The slums of bombay, the streets of baltimore, the favellas of Brazil. Film and TV dont restrict themselves to elves and aliens so i dont see why games should, Alpha Protocol is a rare exception
I'd like to see something is not necessary or does not make up the bulk of gameplay. Think of games like Elite or Thief
Imagine an RPG where the fun was in political manouvering, diplomacy, trade
