Re: What is your ideal concept of fantasy?

I want a good yarn with interesting character, the world might be realistic or totaly fantastic it doesnt matter. Very low on magic. A story where there isnt much difference from the villains and the heroes except their acts in another word i want gray characters. A simply yarn in fantasy, no extremly complex political fantasy that seem to dominate the genre these . Very few of those i can like.

No cliche white and black story where the heroes are so shiny and the villains so ugly and monstrous.


If you have ever read DG you know what im describing

My ideal hero in fantasy is Shannow/Druss/Rek like. Very humane,makes mistakes. Anti-hero really. Only their actions that do some good make them different from the villain.

I dislike the idea of the shining knight in white armour.
