Why don't WRPGs have interesting worlds anymore? Games

Obsession with being "grounded", relatable, and familiar

Dragon Age Origins had an alright setting.

I get the feeling there's some legal tie ups with IPs.
A shame, I'd love a new Dark Sun game, or even a new Forgotten Realms crpg.

The biggest problem with WRPGs is having interesting character designs. They more often than not look really generic, without any distinguishable. MC always look like some generic peasant or hollywood actor. All the girls look dirty and manly. Why can't WRPGs have cute girls?

Thought process behind picture choice didn't go farther than "RPG with interesting world"

It's the product of the obsession people have with Barbie dress up character creation these days. Have to be able to spend hours agonizing over boring ass sliders to get the normalfag audience and it just results in every character looking either bland or shit

Generic castles and dungeons don't look all that interesting to me, generic post apocalyptic america doesn't really look interesting either.

ok

Boyarsky and Cain are working on something at Obsidian so that might be what you're looking for. After all, they created the two best settings in video games. Hopefully they aren't just working on some licensed shit, unless it's WoD or Arcanum, that would be great.

Because Western AAA devs only care about marketability and profit, instead of just making a good game
