Is it only me, or is anyone else getting bored with western RPGs? There's an outcry when anyone makes a shooter set during WW2, yet I can only think of a few computer RPGs that are not set in the same Medieval-England-Lord-Of-The-Rings style universe. Sure the lore and art direction might be different, but The Witcher, Dragon Age, Fable, Oblivion -they all seem to be very unoriginal in terms of story and setting, which I find strange in a genre where these elements are so significant.
Fallout, Mass Efect, the KOTOR games and most Japanese RPGS take place in actual fantasy worlds. Surely they're popular enough to warrant a step away from Elves, Goblins and European architecture?
