Making ingame avatars who look like Sarah Palin, for instance. Many of my favorite pastimes are at least two of those things. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. It is almost always ridiculous, irrelevant, and juvenile. How can you go back to mere history after that? How can you go back to something as mundane as levies with nothing but a tunic, a spear, and a pair of sandals, whose most dramatic upgrade will be heavy armor and some sort of halberd?Īctually, the more pertinent question is “how can you not?”įantasy is a narrative crutch. Queue up some waypoints for your dwarf gyrocopter to drop bombs on hapless minotaurs. You equip legendary magic items, level up various flavors of fireball spells, and build a reliquary so you can recruit ghost soldiers who ride on ghost horses.
You capture elf strongholds and sneak through orc tunnels and stave off the taint of chaos corruption. You do things with them that you never did in Total War. You have stuff you never had in Total War.
A lot of the appeal of this Total War is that you have monsters and wizards and spells and ogres and things that fly. Total War: Warhammer is the pinnacle of what Creative Assembly has been doing for over 17 years.
