Good evening everybody! This is Aifos coming to you a-live from none other than Russia! I've always wanted to go to Russia, and unfortunately that dream is still on hold, because rather than actually being there, I am only there fictionally, with Nikolai and Anastasia in Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia.
But dreams to go to Russia aside, Assassin's Creed is a perfect example of real locations in a fictional world.
An example of the opposite would be something like Elder Scrolls, wherein Nirn is not Earth (obviously).
[b]Tl;dr? Here's my point![/b]
My question to you today, general populace of the #Gaming subforum, is which do you prefer?
Do you like twists on history (like AC), or predictions of the future (like Fallout or Halo), or do you prefer visiting worlds created in the writer's minds (like Bloodborne, or Elder Scrolls)?
[b]My answer:[/b]
[spoiler]I prefer purely fictional worlds, especially when they're fleshed out, as I always find them so fascinating![/spoiler]
Edit; this is [u]not[/u] a question of fiction vs nonfiction. It is referring to specifically whether real locations appear in fictional worlds.
Edit 2: I am [u]not[/u] asking where you'd want to live
