What are games that do fantasy better than Dnd like games
>>51940870
Depends on your definition of fantasy and the genre of fantasy that you actually wanted.Implying this isn't a bait thread
>>51940897
not really, you know i want the same tropes but with another system
>>51940870
If they existed we'd already be playing them everywhere.
>>51940870
Define "Dnd like games."
>>51940870
Dungeon World is a good choice if you're into rules lite. (SUPER LITE)
WotC "D&D" can barely do epic fantasy, and can't do other fantasy.
TSR D&D only tries to be good at doing Swords & Sorcery.

This, but also

define fantasy. Or be clearer on the subgenre.

Want to see something fresh
GURPS: Dungeon Fantasy. It goes out of its way to ape standard fantasy RPG tropes and cranks a few up to 11 while also adding some new stuff to the mix; it also avoids the common pitfall of GURPS by doing all the GM's work for him by putting all relevant rules in a single location with some nice streamlining on top of giving players a list of templates to build their character with. However, it's still a classless point-buy system with a level of detail you don't normally see in D&D and its derivatives, so it's definitely a new take on an old genre that might scratch that not-D&D itch.
If you want more than dungeoncrawling, add other parts of GURPS to your game to tailor it as necessary. GURPS is meant to be modular, so exploit that.
maybe using mutants and masterminds or exalted?

Fantasycraft, Fate, (by some accounts) D&D4, 5, Savage Worlds, Wayfarer, Burning Wheel, Ars Magicka, etc.
>>51940870
None of them. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying to you to shill out their favorite obscure garbage in vain hope that it will somehow rise from the pool of grime that is the indie RPG industry.
Face the facts, D&D is the best there is and the best there ever will be, if you don't like that then the best option is to simply leave the hobby and not look back.

what is that?
>>51942215
there is always hope

Seconding this, Mutants and Masterminds actually has a 2e book called Warriors and Warlocks I think? But even with 3e you have so many customization options that it's easily workable without the book. Power profiles for 3e is a good buy too, has a whole bunch of examples for making different spells. There's also a thread somewhere that has converted from DnD.

D&D is superhero garbage.
Except like, AD&D 2.
