Will we finally get an epic fantasy game to rival Skyrim and Dragon Age?

Will we finally get an epic fantasy game to rival Skyrim and Dragon Age?

>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kingkiller_Chronicle

>Lionsgate proposed doing a film, TV series, and video game, which Rothfuss accepted.

>video game

Too bad the second book was below garbage trash tier.

>t. /lit/ faggot

They're going to feel pretty stupid when they realize that the third book is NEVER, EVER coming out

They'll just make original content like in GoT.

It'll be like the Harry Potter games except with extra white male guilt from rothfuss

>fantasy trilogy
Into the trash

So what have you been reading lately, user?

Sup Forums

Sadly this. First one showed promise despite being flawed but damn the second one dropped the ball hard.

Rothfuss is a cunt, read Scott Lynch instead.

Sure, Republic of Thieves was a bit meh, but it was still better than Wise Man's Sex Ninjas

RELEASE THE 3RD BOOK ALREADY REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Kinda curious why people think the second one is significantly worse than the first. It has the same flaws, particularly its Mary Sue protagonist - is it just that people want more of the magic school setting?

>read Scott Lynch instead

recommend me a book to start with

Fucking hell I hate it how Google has to show me the mug of every author I search for right there in the results.

Literally all authors are ugly fucks and I want to imagine them as beautiful people but Google just has to ruin everything.

good taste fellow reader

Are you a Sup Forums fan too?

The second books dragged and was terribly paced.

Plus, stuff like the magical sex fairy and the anime ninjas and what feels like 500 pages of fucking around a Forrest, combined with Kvothe making a hilariously fast transition to unrepentant murderer.

Plus, Denna is even less tolerable in this book.

Also the dude he plays not-go with is Lord Ash, the guy who has been beating her.

Poorly written Gary Stu bullshit by literal neckbeard.

The problem is that every recent fantasy author looks like the nuwest of nu-males.

>Patrick Rothfuss

Ah yes, the nu male of modern fantasy. A Gary Stu protagonist whose only flaw is getting friendzoned and cucked.

If the current wave of grimdark fantasy riding on G.R.R. Martin's coattails wasn't enough, Rothfuss is there fuck up the other side of the spectrum.

The Lies of Locke Lamora, m8.

Never, ever look at the reverse flap.

Will fantasy ever reach the same heights we got to with Jack Vance, Glen Cook and Karl Wagner?

>Rothfuss is there fuck up the other side of the spectrum.
He doesn't produce enough.

Sanderson is the one balancing out George, what with his no swearing, chaste relationships, authoritarian mormon trash.

Will still read the next Stormlight book

>No Donaldson

Shame user

I left out many authors

>tfw everyone shits on wise mans fear but you still really enjoyed it and are looking forward to the third

Isn't kingskiller not finished?

Also what happened to that mistborn game

First book was best the other two were ok to bad

True. But Sanderson still has excellent worldbuilding and magic systems.

It's getting hard finding new fantasy novels that aren't grimdark and aren't incompetent at the same time.

>cucked

auto-hide post

Also anyone read Malazan or whatever?

I'm on the first book and its just not gripping me, People said if you liked Black Company you'd enjoy this but I'm not feeling it

Since half of Vance is his style, and I don't think anyone today could develop it, we'll never have another one like him.

Wagner is in the Howard tradition, and Cook has a lot of disciples, so for those guys, yeah.

If ever there was a time where the world applies and not just as a meme, it's in the context of Kingkiller Chronicles.

>Scott Lynch

As much as I love this guy and his books he can fuck off with the delays.

And when is Jean going to abandon that shitheel Locke?

I'm going to humor this bait

Kvothe is also a prideful asshat whose quick to anger. Those two things get him in more shit than anything.

I think people like it for being impenetrable; getting through it makes them feel like they're part of a special club or something, so it has to be the best thing ever. I read to probably halfway through the third book, but I still don't know why it gets praised so much.

>pol hurt my fee-fees
:...(

Try to persevere. First book is a little overwhelming and not very entertaining the first time trough because of the numbers of place and characters, but it get better.

As for "The name of the wind", i read it years ago on release and frankly i wasnt impressed. Shit read like a Harry potter fanfiction.

Fan of the Black Company books, but I couldn't even slog my way through the first Malazan book. I hear they get better, though.

Yes, you're very annoying and nobody wants you around, just like irl. Congratulations.

Hmm, alright if you can answer this without spoiling it would be great

There is already to much "WOAHOH GODS HAHA ARE MESSIN WITH THESE FOLK" I really hate those kind of stories it just feels lazy, do the gods stop being such a like overpowering force? I was nearly cringing in that part about the thief in dijijijijijstan dodging crossbow bolts because of le god of luck meme

Black company was fantastic which I guess rose my exceptions too much, Prince Of Thorns seemed the more black company feel with the road brothers dynamic compared to whiskey jack and his pals in Malazan

Gardens of the Moon is a hard read, a flawed prototype written years before the subsequent books but it's worth it for what comes after. First time I tried to read it I quit at 50 pages. No exposition, no background, too many characters to keep track of. Second time at 100 pages. Third time I forced myself through it and I'll be forever happy that I did.

If you're halfway in Deadhouse Gates and you still don't like it, it's just not for you. But figuring out the whole backstory and mythos, and how the different characters' paths intersect is hugely rewarding in the end.

Sup Forums can stay in this thread, because Vance was mentioned and Vance is Sup Forums as fuck.

>do the gods stop being such a like overpowering force?

No, they drive the plot to where I stopped reading as far as I can tell. I might have missed some deep, important subtext because I was mostly reading through glazed-over eyes. Still, I might try reading it again one day - maybe I'm just missing something.

>excellent worldbuilding and magic systems.
And cardboard cutout characters. I really don't give a fuck about his autistic magic systems or Dark Tower universe ripoiff.

>And when is Jean going to abandon that shitheel Locke?
Literally never. Those two are basically married.

Lynch's delay's suck, but remember that he also has a job, and was a firefighter up until just now when he moved across the country.

Any fantasy where characters invite their own doom?

>do the gods stop being such a like overpowering force?

Gods/ascendants are prominent in Malazan, and they're powerful, but they're also vulnerable. Most of them are just really powerful immortals, and when push comes to shove they can be killed just like any mortal.
Think more Greek gods/demigods.

I guess that's relevant to Sup Forums's interests, huh?

I want to read Malazan, but the first book is terrible, and I can't get past it.
