Lord of the Rings

Why are najority of sci-fi role playing games so incredibly shitty and boring? Pic related is one of the very few good exceptions.

Because thats how the genre started?

guarenteed sales from LotR fangirls and nostalgia fags

Fallout New Vegas is boring

Let me guess, you cant "relate" to the character your playing because your supposed to roleplay rather than walk trough half an hour worth of bullshit exlpaining every little detail about the protagonist?

Or because it’s boring. Characters are boring, setting is boring, enemies/gunplay is boring

Don't forget certain characters and themes may be too "problematic" for the soy oy Mass Effect olayer.

>Annoyed. Why do most role playing games take place in medieval times?

i can't think of any rpgs that take place in medieval times, unless you count warband

Actual autism.

Mass Effect really missed the mark by not ever letting the player have non-humanoid aliens in the party

>the witcher
>the elder scolls
>all the elder scrolls
>blood born
>shadow of Mordor
>etc etc

>draw a vagina
>call it a face

How did they get away with this?

>Shadiw of Mordor
>Bloodborne
>RPG's
EL OH EL MY DUDE

>implying that mass effect PC backstories are given a half an hour's worth of exposition

im not saying fnv is bad, but your expressed opinions on mass effect are terrible

Anger, niggers ruin everything

They all bit off of Dungeons & Dragons in the 80s and that became a theme.

To answer the OP, though, it's because it's easy and there's more competition which makes it less competitive

this

>there's more competition which makes it less competitive

it hit the mark, obviously. would have been nice to have a spider companion

racism

Why aren't there any set in the Victorian era?

sf rpg's have to have at least address the science behind the wonder

fantasy rpg's are pic related

That's fantasy, not medieval.

No, just all postapo is brown garbage.

I'm assuming their excuse is something along the line of
>it's too much work to animate
and
>we wanted the player to be able to relate to every crew member
No Hanar crew member for you

>best character in nu Fallout hidden behind the most boring expansion

Also "big iron" is a bad name for a song
