If you had to move to a scifi or fantasy civilization, which one you would choose?

I'll choose the Warhammer 40,000 universe as I've played Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War before and it's expansion pack, Winter Assault.

I'll go with the Space Marines for this one.

Okay, time to kill some Orcs. So, where do I sign up?

A brave new world, for certain. I'm a doll, so I would fit right in.

I would prefer to stay here, but if I was forced to move, it'd probably be LotR, but I wouldn't be happy about it. Narnia would be cool.

Elder Scrolls, anyone? and yeah, narnia would be cool

@Joku

Here's some information about Culture and some other civilizations

Thanks for the link. Well, the Culture is not my cup of tea to be sure, I do read and enjoy a lot of scifi. I was pretty familiar with all the others, just had never encountered "The Culture", oddly enough.

@LordAce

Narnia would be cool.

Absolutely!!! I'm checking the backs of all my armoirs and wardrobes.

Physical, mental and sexual

I think "Red Dwarf" would be great... a huge empty spaceship with just me, drifting through space. Now, if I could just turn off the silly hologram and get the cat to stay in the other end of the ship, life would be perfect!

See, here's the problem. For a relatively un remarkable guy like me, I would end up as "Slovenly Palace Guard No. 5" - the one who gets eaten by the Luggage. Even in the somewhat utopian world of Star Trek, I would end up as a non-descript Security guy wearing a red shirt, or maybe as an unnamed asteroid miner.

People who want to live in the fantasy worlds always assume that they would be a Jedi Knight or Dragon Rider or something quite grand. Its the same thing with those people who think they've lived past lives - always as Egyptian Goddesses or Roman Centurion Heroes.

Remember - if we all lived in Star Wars world, D!ck Cheney would be the Emperor, and Bloodstalker would be Jar Jar Binks. :speech:

See, that's part of the whole appeal

I think I go with Forgotten Realms this time. Becasue I am already living there in my head, I think I live life as a mysticall diviner of varius dieties from the Faerun already, so I probably would have a better job and lots of friends.

I like waht Fable said, add a few chooses and don't forget some people don't want to move from this world.

How about Hyboriean Civilization of Conan.
Or the Marvel Universe or world of DC.
Now that I think about we should all make our own world a personal fanticy, and enjoy life to the fullest.

How about the world of darkness?
Not as bad as it sounds btw.

It's our normal boring world, but with the supernatural... except nobody believes it's real.
So there would be magic and creatures of the night that nobody knows of.... ok never mind.:laugh:

Don't forget about immortality! Now that would be a good reason to change realities...at least for me.

it would be nice to live in a world with a 'save' and 'load' option. i think everyone's wished for that at some point.

Fljotsdale · Post by **Fljotsdale** » Sat Nov 04, 2006 5:20 pm

I like Bloodstalker's choice of Discworld a LOT!

Yes, I'd go there like a shot! Preferably to the Granny Weatherwax/Tiffany Aching areas. Though Ankh Morpork would be.... interesting.

But another place I like a lot is Albion. Most of you won't have played the game; not one of your top-class games.

But I loved it, and I loved the world.

Philos wrote:If those were the only choices and I absolutely "had" to change to one, I would probably go with either Lothlorien or Rivendell on LotR. The choices seemed pretty stilted towards Scifi. I am not familiar with "The Culture" but of the others listed, 6 were scifi and only 2 were fantasy. Thinking of other fantasy worlds how about Piers Anthony's Xanth. That would be a interesting place to live. :laugh:
I'm sure there are a lot of other great fantasy worlds as well.

Xanth is another good one!

And so is Pern. I'd love to be a dragon rider - but if I couldn't, I'd still like to live there.

Ah... did you ever read "Thud!"? The Yeti's in Thud! had a 'save' function. If they died, they came back at the point in their life they last saved...

I loved that bit. Made me laugh gently.

Fljotsdale · Post by **Fljotsdale** » Sun Nov 05, 2006 6:09 pm

Terry Pratchett. Could it be anyone else? :laugh:

lol! I agree with you there... Terry Pratchett is wonderfull

... And Granny Weatherwax is my very favourite fantasy 'anti-heroine'

..Hmmm.. Ankh Morpork, eh? Having a a craving for a Dibbler bun by any chance? :speech:

How could you not be attracted to a world like [url="http://www.lspace.org/books/pqf/moving-pictures.html"]this[/url]?

That would have been my choice as well. I'd rather kill myself and donate my body to medicine than be stuck in any of these one-dimensional, boring, predictable stereotype excuses for a "world".
