Epic fantasy has for
thousands of years been the realm of story telling then it moved into
the realm of writing. When Television and movies came along it made the
transition easily. Now epic fantasy has moved into the realm of video
games and online games. And this is a transition of enormous proportions
because now instead of witnessing the hero on his quest you can become
the hero.
No longer do you listen to, read about or watch the hero conquer beasts
and adventure through new worlds but now you can actually be the hero
and do all of this for yourself.
Epic Fantasy games for
PC, platform or online play have quickly evolved into incredibly rich
worlds that you can explore. There are many different types of games.
Some focus on Player vs. Player combat. Some focus on empire building.
Some focus on The accomplishment of quests. ANd all of them incorporate,
to some extent, all of these characteristics. Do you want to be a muscle-bound
warrior? A wizard? Or maybe some type of non human character like a dwarf
or an elf? You can be that now - all through the marvelous new world of
Fantasy games.
Persistent worlds
In the games of the past
few years you would play the game then save your progress. When you came
back to the game it was exactly the way you left it. But today the worlds
are persistent. That means that even if you are not playing things are
happening and changes are being made. Changes that permanently affect
the game.
- A dedicated game system
brings amazing reality to a fantasy game. And now they are capable of
connecting to the internet where you can play with other people and explore
complete worlds that change in real time.
The prices of platform systems can vary between two hundred dollars and
a thousand dollars. And the actual games usually cost around fifty dollars.
You can even rack up additional expenses by paying for accessories and
online subscriptions. But these expenses are quite reasonable if you consider
the many hundreds of hours you can get from playing a game that you really
enjoy.
