Wow, giant versions of things that are on Earth are so original and refreshing. And elves are living in them? Oh my gosh, I can't have possibly imagined such a thing.

So what sort of setting would you find original and refreshing?

The human mind cannot fathom an original setting.

Right. Since we've already established that every setting you're familiar with is equally unoriginal, it wouldn't make any sense for you to comment on the originality of any setting. No setting is any less original than another.

There's this Thane who named his dog Alduin in TESO.  It made me smile.

Yes, I'm glad we finally see eye to eye. Both Oblivion and Morrowind have generic fantasy settings.

Relative to nothing.  They're just generic fantasy settings in the same way that every fantasy setting in the world is generic.  Why do you keep asking him this same question?  His answer is stupid, but it's not going to change.

Why? Are you under the impression that for Morrowind and Oblivion to be generic fantasy settings, there must be a setting that isn't?

There does, or else your language in using generic is redundant to the point of stupidity. If all fantasy settings are generic then those generic traits are part of the definition of setting.

There's a quest in Skyrim where you have to collect blood samples from an Altmer, Bosmer, Dunmer, Falmer and an Orsimer, so that a guy can use them to synthesize Dwemer blood. If the Dwemer were actually Dwarves, and not related to the Mer races, how could blood from the Mer be used to create Dwemer blood?
The Mastery.

In order for you to call something generic derisively, yes, there must be.

Oh, well in that case I can't condider Earth (though not its human manufactured areas) a generic setting since it is truly original.

What? We aren't discussing absolutes. Originality is not a binary scale. Obviously you believe things can be more or less original than one another, otherwise you wouldn't sarcastically claim that something is "original and refreshing".

You do?  Even I thought that was taking the dumbing-down too far.

At first, I thought so too. What benefit do classes really provide, though?
