I was thinking about the meaning of fantasy by the many games, and when it say fantasy game, it mostly the middle ages, with swords and magic.

So I think, why can't fantasy and sci-fi mix, you can have high-tech buildings and flying with wings. Sci-Fi can be fantasy also, by mixing magic with technology.

But i'm wondering why there not many games like that, do people think fantasy as myths, legend, middle ages, sword fighting, and magic in the age of war. Myths and Legend did come from the middle ages, but instead of having a castle, how about a modern building of magic?

Is it a good idea to mix Sci-fi with Fantasy? It will be like have High Tech Bows that shoot Plasama, and Laser Swords. Most of the Sci-Fi and Fantasy games are like Star Wars, have dark backgrounds, like Perfect World, you can add a bright background. Next Thing you know, you have peaceful high-tech cities, modern human activities, with magic and wonder, and gears engineered by magic.

    I use to play a sci-fi mmo. Once you have plasma (and the barrels that launch it) you're talking about a weapon that is 6 inches longer than you are tall. With the image that produces for your toon, you won't ever want a crossbow.

    When your game includes several varieties of machine gun sound effects, the twang of a crossbow just isnt going to cut it.
