I'm okay with animal people when they actually look and animate in a bestial manner. It comes off as lazy and uncreative when they simply look like humans with a mask and a tail pinned to their pants.
I am thoroughly tired of magic being only about combat and 'porting between city hubs. If I had a dollar for every time my magic user had to rely on an NPC to make some sort enchanted item for a quest, when he should have the ability to do it himself...
And why do we continue to see games filled with hollow, generic crap of magical styles when there are plenty of evocative, real-world magic systems to draw from?
Also, quit it with the particle effects. Magicians in stories don't cause fireworks shows for every little thing they do.
Finally, why is it a wizard can summon the power to destroy armies but can't figure out how to shield himself from harm?
