Haha fair enough description, I have to admit Lord of the rings wasnt exactly my cup of tea, even if I did like the books. Dragon age has humans, tall graceful elves, and short stocky cave dwelling dwarves, fighting what they may as well just have called orks in a middle ages pastural Europe setting. It looks and feels like LOtR far too much for my tastes. But then as I am not a fan of that setting I would tend to ignore all the other differences and focus on the annoying lapses in originality.

Cities: Skylines. Really brilliant game if you like city builders.

Personally I dont care at all if the setting is new or not, just that it is interesting. Dragon Age is a perfect example there, I have never hated a setting in a game quite as much as that, so generic, so bland, so.... Tolkien. I played origins through for the interesting characters but I couldnt care less if everyone else in whatever the hell it was called land died. And the newest one just shifted from generic England rip-off to generic France rip-off. I have pretty specific tastes with the setting and for me they make or break the game beyond anything else. BG1 was a bit too generic Europe setting for me, BG2 was excellent with the more colourful and alien environment. Morrowind was my all time favorite while Oblivion was barely playable rubbish. Some of my favorites have been games like Mass Effect, Gothic and Arx Fatalis, original games that just had a unique and memorable setting. I generally hate turnbased games but I am really looking forward to the new Torment, that has to be potentially the most interesting setting I have heard of. Basically if the setting is interesting I will love this game beyond all measure, if it feels like middle ages england with rip-off Tolkien races I will be lucky to break 10 hours before I give up.
