"Fantasy still have an internal consistancy" until they don't, hence imagination!Fantasy still have an internal consistancy that a lot of writters forget about these days.
Like Elves have pointy ear's, long hair, a long lifespan and a superiorty complex.
Change any of these and you no longer have an elf.
Elves WERE just as you described until one day someone used their imagination and came up with more....
Now you have high elves matching closely to your description, forest elves, who are shorter, more outgoing, have different hairs and are much less high and mighty and then you have dark elves who DO NOT have any of the above characteristics and are still elves and the fantasy world is richer for those new ones being added.
So if the other guy just wants old elves or "high" elves he should go look for material containing those but not complain when someone comes along and creates new ones. It might not suit his tastes but it does suite others and the world would be very boring if we only catered to a few.
...and three updates later we find out they are cousins of the species, nothing wrong with that.But lets take a simple example of bad story telling:
You write about a spieces that have blue skin, can run 120 miles per hour without getting tired.
Then two page's later you write there tired of all the running and there skin is green.
That is the kind of crap that ruins any story.
"Fiction needs to remain internal consistant or it just because boring." completely incorrect, refer to the first part of my reply here. Consistent becomes boring, that is why fiction keeps evolving.Fiction needs to remain internal consistant or it just because boring.
Like those child games where they go:
Nuhu my silver sword cuts through you black plate.
No my black plate is immune to your silver sword.
No they exist unless someone changes them.....Rules exist for a good reason.
e.g.
You must be registered to see the links
In your opinion, they aren't doing them justice. Others are happy with them as proven by them receiving support. This takes us back to my first reply, just use "seeking" or "req" and find ones that suit your tastes.Or just don’t have rape or attempted rape in fantasy unless you can do the subject justice.
That statement is a contradiction.it’s not about conforming to my ideals I want to get lost in these worlds and in the works it’s just not the best it’s like there story half ass. But I don’t mind a debate
1. it’s not about conforming to my ideals
2. I want
It is about conforming to your ideals...
You want to get lost in those worlds.
You think their story is half assed.
Not everyone feels the same way as you, hence your ideals... so again to make life easier for yourself get people to help you find the games that best suit your tastes.
I agree with you on many things but in this you are completely wrong. Saying anime and cartoons are the same is like saying a tv episode of Jack Ryan is the same as the John Wick movie. While the west is slowly catching up they are still decades behind.They are, the only people who argue otherwise are weebs, and no one cares about the opinions of weebs.
Also it's Otaku not weeb
