Something I think too much fantasy gets wrong is it treats all religions, myths, superstitions, everything as real and factual, thus stripping myth and superstition of a lot of its actual use and power

I get the impulse, of course, it's fun to imagine a world where you actually HAVE to hold your breath when you ride by a graveyard or hidebehinds are real or whatever but when you do it that way, it just saps a lot of the mystique from the world, it ensmallens it

@coriander you need to play fire emblem three houses

@wallhackio I may be a NEET but I don't have that kinda time on my hands

@coriander you played Baldur's Gate 3 you have what it takes

@coriander in all seriousness based on some of the things I see you complain about other people's prose I'm not sure you'll like 3 Horses. The writing is very.... anime

Mechanically the game scratched a very similar itch for me as Baldur's Gate 3. And once I got past the initial few hours of the story I started to realize the game was actually quite thematically rich and kinda based. It does have a good story (a very good one, in fact) but the writing on a moment-to-moment level is not the strong suit
