Medieval settings are pretty much a staple in the fantasy genre, especially video games. So I’m curious, what is it about the Middle Ages that fantasy writers are drawn to? They could’ve chosen any era as a basis, but somehow the genre has evolved to the point where you can’t think of the Middle Ages without, say, Skyrim or Dungeons and Dragons—although that’s more of an RPG. I thought this would be a pretty legit question for any gamers or medievalists.
