>fantasy game has aliens in it
How? Why? Elements of science-fiction do not belong in fantastical environments.

>Elements of science-fiction do not belong in fantastical environments.
Says who?

>Elements of science-fiction do not belong in fantastical environments.
tell that to the thousands of science fantasy games movie and books

what a bizarre bait
who are you fishing for with that

Newfag detected.

>I listen to the Conan short stories, while I work out and in one of them he visits a tower of an evil Sorcerer, who is holding a huge elephant-man hostage, who explains to Conan that he is from outer space and flew to his world with wings, which his race last and lived on his planet for far longer than the current iteration of civilization even existed.
>In the Might & Magic games you have an intergalactic network of planets being joined together and having access to very advanced tech and magic, but it degenerated into a standard fantasy world after the Ancients had to cut the network.
>In Sword & Sorcery you often had authors try to make their world scientifically consistent and give hints that magic might just be science and that some ruins might be built by aliens, not Gods.
The desire to have a pure magical fantasy world, unsullied by science and technology, is a degeneration of the fantasy genre.

Extraterrestrial creatures are not sci-fi, there's nothing science about them

>>718475215 (OP)
>creature from beyond the veil of reality can't be in fantasy setting because they came from upward instead of downard
Should angels be reclassified as aliens and be banned from fantasy.
Because the two aliens you posted are really far from fucking standard flying saucer material.

the fantastical technology that gets them to earth to mess with humans leaves them far more scifi than magical

Star Wars
John Carter
Dune

>left one is some primordial godlike being
>right one is literally alien from other dimension/pocket universe only called 'dreams' because the primitives at the time didn't know better
What a retarded take.

>ER: astrology, summoning and possession
>BB: victorian-era tech and alchemy / early medicine

>>718476395
I don't care about either (OP is a fag) I'm just speaking generally

>>718476263
None of those are fantasy
>but dey use a sword
Star Trek is fantasy too then.

FUCK you OP, it's kino.

Nothing better than playing a fun fantasy game where a new set of worldbuilding rules arrive and you come to understand the setting - only for something to be introduced that even the goblins and elves and dorfs can't comprehend. It's kino and fun and you are a faggot and should DIE

death to israel

Cosmic horrors aren't aliens and not sci-fi. What's really doesn't work are the blue LED guardians in the new Zelda games

>fantasy setting is actually scifi in disguise

>How? Why? Elements of science-fiction do not belong in fantastical environments.
Tell that to the Draenei.

>>718476508
Yes.
It's high time you learned that the term "fantasy" doesn't actually denote anything at all.

>>718475215 (OP)
Plenty of fantasy settings have extraterrestrials. They simply get to the planet with magic instead of technology.

>>718476746
Even ignoring the meta narrative between games it's not disguised at all. The vaulters are well aware they came from another planet.

>What a nothing burger.
Ugh ...
>young Germans are having innocent fun at a party
>next day the chancellor himself is condeming them for having too much fun and advocates that a witch hunt should be started to punish them
How was that a nothing burger?

>>718476082
What says they can't just teleport or plane-hop between worlds?
There's nothing inherently science about a creature coming to a planet from outside the planet.
Besides, aren't demons from whatever hell also aliens?

>>718477794
Demons are entirely magical/spiritual in origin, they don't come from some other planet. Calling them aliens because they invade from somewhere else is just splitting hairs.

>>718477432
Because nothing immediate for the betterment of Germany came of it. Maybe you'll have more seats for the right party in a generation but your daughters are still being raped by NAFRIs.

Even in the first edition of DnD you had aliens. There was an entire campaign set in an abandoned UFO turned dungeon.

>Because nothing immediate for the betterment of Germany came of it.
No shit. It was just young people having innocent fun.

>Maybe you'll have more seats for the right party in a generation but your daughters are still being raped by NAFRIs.
That's England, not Germany. We don't have the same problems as the UK. The police in our country does a great job, but the judges don't punish hard enough. In the UK it's also the police, who is refusing to do anything in migrant communities. Don't treat us like we are all the same. Europe is a big place.

I know of this elephant man, stood up and searched my flat for a comic book depicting this very story. I must have left it at my brother's

Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
One might think the Cthulhu mythos is sci-fi because of the aliens and space shit, but their abilities and actions are magical in nature.
Wizardry and Might & Magic both started out as fantasy but eventually evolved into sci-fi, because it's the same shit.

>>718475685
>The desire to have a pure magical fantasy world, unsullied by science and technology, is a degeneration of the fantasy genre.
yeah, another shit trope bequeathed to american autists by lotr, fuck lotr, it all stems from the anglo misinterpretation of german romanticism as a kind of primitivism.

>>718475685
I know im gonna catch heat for this but 'traditional fantasy' models only work under the cosmogony that the Earth is covered in a dome and its all we have. thats the model under which those ancient myths were created, what youre seeing is the logical consequence of working a model cosmogony model into ancient trad fantasy and working backwards then the logical conclusion would be since there are many worlds then magic is explained via ancient aliens and aliens are doing lotr fantasy epics on other worlds too so magic is just alien advanced tech and the writers who are always SOI soft-lads think they are geniuses for this every time. Its even in dungeons and dragons/baulders gate. Its in practically every modern fantasy they literally cant help themselves. And irl real people who believe in ancient aliens essentially share a version of this thinking but have to concede we just 'havent found them yet'
