Low Fantasy: >The majority of the world is made up of ordinary humans doing ordinary everyday shit. Go into a village and it looks like your ordinary medieval village. >A lot more superstition, people are confused when something magical infects their town like a haunting sucking the souls out of people causing people to be emaciated once every 2 nights, Everyone stays in civilization because the wilds are dangerous and mysterious, filled with dark horrors/urban legends of unknown things that are lurking there. >There is magic but it's not as wide spread. It's usually that one old wise homosexual who has so much wisdom that he somehow unlocked magical prowess. His magic isn't pooping fire out of nowhere but entirely ritualistic and alchemical. >Monsters are more scary because there aren't every day occurrences.
High Fantasy >Magic is fricking everywhere, it's apparent and so common that it's apart of the daily life where people are using Clerics and Druids to get healed instead of going to a doctor, and its a matter of whether you have magical prowess or not. >Elves, Dwarves, Orcs everywhere. You can't walk 10 feet without seeing a goblin running around trying to attack you for your purse. >Fantastical beasts make up the fauna of the world. Dragon is flying across the distance in the background. >Mercenaries everywhere since the world is filled with beasts that can affect and interrupt daily life like an Troll in a nearby cave kidnapping citizens in a town. Mercenaries are the roach exterminators of their world.
No it's historical and there is no magic or fantasy elements unless you count Theresa because she is a better waifu then is possible to exist in reality.
how is that high fantasy? the only fantastical element is that larger humanoid race. other than that, it's two dudes in armor with swords swinging. high fantasy would be way wackier
Anon a literal shirtless warrior saving a literal prostitute from a literal giant ogre is high fantasy.
Low fantasy is shit like kingdom come deliverance.
You can't have supernatural races and insist your setting is low fantasy. You can't have naked people fighting monsters and insist it's low fantasy.
Anon a literal Bohemian peasant encountering witches and spirits is high fantasy.
Low fantasy is shit like Red Dead Redemption 2.
You can't have ahistorical armor and insist your setting is low fantasy. You can't have alchemy and insist it's low fantasy.
The ONLY good fantasy is Nobledark Fantasy ala Warhammer Fantasy, where the world is bleak, life is hard, Chaos runs rampant, and mutated beastmen from goatmen to ratmen dwell within the darkest places of the world, but a light is beaming within the heart of the human lands, and chivalry/faith isn't dead but a way to stamp out evil.
Frick you Black folk liking Sword&Sorcery and frick that absolute Grimdark homosexualry of Warhammer 40K.
whats low fantasy
Magic is rare, generally low power, and complicated to do and mythical creatures are also rare.
That's Fear and Hunger. Just comes with a side of potential rape and mutilation.
>Just comes with a side of potential rape and mutilation.
You joke but those things give the world and the game such a unique breath of fresh air
Basically historical fantasy with some pitter patter in the magical spheres
bland garbage for losers that are too hipster for fantasy and too autistic for history

I also meet many orcs/ogres in my day-to-day
those aren't green though, that's the low fantasy at work
OP, did you mean DARK fantasy?
no, its low fatnasy
if it was dark fantasy
that blonde girl would have been raped and with half troll half human kids
That's what I want to see
That doesn't look very low fant to me
see
I want a game were muscular white men wrestle against each other completely naked with no femoids in sight and im not joking
Based as frick. Shame we're never gonna get a male only game because women have to shove themselves everywhere, even gay games have women nowadays.
I really hope that ended in strategic flatulence
Black person
