If you could live in any fictional world, book/movie/comic/video game ect. Which would you choose? Why?
I would choose Skyrim. It starts off great, treating you like an outsider. You're told the basic plot of the main story line, then you're free to do what ever you want.
Unlike other kick ass fantasy worlds, Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones; you're not forced to join in. You can learn magic, sword fighting, shit like that. You could also do none of that stuff, and simple live the life of a regular dude or dudette.
It would probably take me 30 seconds after seeing my first Dragon to shit myself. Learning I was the last Dragon Born would essentially be like being given a license to kill. I license to kill Dragons. I've always wanted to do this, I hate dragons.
They know magic, have cool Mountain hideouts, and usually steal loads of gold. I'm pretty sure I'd be great at killing Dragons.
Now when it comes to learning magic. I'd learn the fuck outta that shit. Once I knew magic was real, and useful for more than just doing stupid tricks. I learn as much as I could. Anyone could use swords and axes to kill dragons; I'd conjure up Dremora Lords. Being a fan of WarHammer and D&D, the idea of having a Daemon under my command fills me with geek pride. All my enemies would run for the hills.
"Hey guys remember that loser we picked on at school, well he's back. Apparently he's a Wizard. A pissed of Wizard with a Daemon friend. We should run"
I could go on, but let's here what you would do. As long as the world is fiction, you can choose anything. It doesn't have to be fantasy.
