That's kinda like why I'd actually like to see a LoS sequel set in the 1800s. They'll be FORCED to ditch the stereotypical medieval fantasy and go a little towards reclaiming that "spooky" feel by adopting the setting of Stoker's Dracula, as well as other 19th century horror tales. I don't wanna see more more Ye Olde CVs with goblins and and such. I think I've said this elsewhere, but as it is, I don't like my medieval fantasy mixed with CV. I was skeptical a bit when IGA set LoI so far in the past, that he was going to go all Medieval Times with the series. Those, the best thing he did with LoI was keep the general CV feel, despite it being set during the Crusades. If I wanted Ye Olde adventures with dragons and Wraithkings, I'd play Skyrim or any other game REALLY rooted in medieval fantasy. I don't play CV games for that.
I think some things could've done a world of difference. Next game, limit the day, or just kill it altogether. Perpetual night. LoS was too sunlit. For the CV series, that's almost ALIEN!!
