The setting is one of the most important aspects of a game, but over the past few years, it seems that we haven't gotten anything super unique. As much as I love fantasy games, I want something that is a little more off the beaten path in terms of setting. Stuff like Tolkien is getting boring at this point I guess. Morrowind is a pretty good example of a pretty diverse setting. It felt very alien with the giant mushrooms and the Ashland and then an architecture style based upon giant crab carapaces (well, maybe not literally)
We have had some outliers recently, such as the Fantasy Caribbean setting that Pillars of Eternity 2 that strays from the common European Fantasy.
So, I ask you, what's a unique setting that we should see more of in games?
