Comment on Anon hates dark fantasy

I would love a video game based on the Chronicles of the Black Company. Good dark fantasy has alive women, not everything is ruined, and people sometimes telling the truth. Because when everything is fucked there’s nothing left to lose, so who would care?

Yeah, I loved this series. If someone could translate the slightly sardonic tone into a videogame that would be great. Currently reading Steven Erikson’s Malazan series, which is excellent. If you liked Black Company, you might like this too. Different tone, but both basically follow soldiers dealing with fucked up stuff.

I got into Black Company based on a Lemmy user recommendation, so I think I’ll have to look into Malazan for sure!

You’re in for a treat, I wish I could read them for the first time again!

Something to tide me over while I wait for my library’s copy of the new Black Company book. Cheers ^^
