Which is what’s refreshing about the series

I thought about including them, but decided not to because I hadn’t finished reading! Same reason Snow Crash isn’t on the list.

i went halfway down the comments list and still couldn’t find a mention of Glen Cook’s Black Company series, which makes me sadder than i thought it would. Imagine a Spec Ops: the Line story in a Skyrim-esque world.

I think that’s a good summation. I love his work partially because of that world view and partially in spite of it.

The First Law Trilogy by Joe Abercrombie would be cool as an story driven action rpg. Abercrombie is a huge PC gaming nerd too so Im sure he could do some awesome writing for it. I just want to play a game as Logen Ninefingers and go all Barbarian Berserker on some ememies. Great series btw if you havent read it. Nice…
