In order to increase the sense of immersion, fantasy art works often design a new map, in addition to new races other than humans, some also have to design new languages, in a magical world different from the earth, several major races live together. If the map is done well, it can also become the signature of the series and be enjoyed by fans.
To give a few examples, The Lord of the Rings' Middle-earth, also known as Middle-earth, from the map, is a large board, west of the sea, north, south, east of the extension, all over the rivers and mountains, humans, elves, dwarves, hobbits and other races to establish their own cities, sometimes war, sometimes together to resist the enemy.
Now everyone knows that the world is round, and in some works, the world is flat, such as the recent hit animation "Jobless Rebirth". Its world map is a continent floating on the ocean, on the left is the central continent inhabited by humans, distributed in various countries of all sizes, the Red Dragon Mountains divide the continent into three parts, and the protagonist Rudius was born in the far left of the Kingdom of Asura, Fitoya. There is a large hole between the Central Continent and the Demon Continent, separating the two continents, and this hole is the Lingus Sea that was created by the aftermath of the battle during the Second Man-Demon War.
Self-created maps can do everything at will, which is more convenient for making up stories, but if it has a very deep historical and cultural heritage, it can add oil and vinegar to the existing foundation and recreate. For example, the world view of the national RPG "Legend of the Paladin Sword" is to establish a profound Chinese cultural and historical legend.
The Immortal Sword created a second creation of the creation myth, and it was Pangu that broke the ground, but the three great gods born of its essence, qi and gods, Fuxi, Shennong, and Nuwa, were defined as the three emperors. Because there are too few beings in the world, these three great gods use their own ways to create beings, Fuxi creates gods, Nuwa creates people, gods and farmers produce beasts, the gods live in the heavens, the human and beast clans live on the ground, and there is a ghost world as a transit station for the souls of people and beasts.
Later, Shennong died violently, and among the beasts, Xuanyu rose up and was defeated by the Terrans who had obtained the support of the Divine Clan, and Xuanyu tried his last strength to send the beasts to the Otherworld, thus giving birth to the Demon Clan. Among the terrans, some have become "immortals" through cultivation, and some of the beasts have become "demons" through cultivation. As a result, the whole world was divided into the Divine Realm, the Human Realm, the Demon Realm, the Demon Realm, the Demon Realm, and the Immortal Realm, a total of six realms.
The story of "Immortal Sword" takes place in such an environment, since the first generation, every time has been a great chaos in the world. Every past game is quite difficult to show because of the limitations of the times, even if it has a rich background setting, but in the latest work in the series "Paladin 7", due to the use of the new Unreal Four Engine, all aspects of the scene performance have been significantly upgraded, this time finally can see what the demon world is like.
Surrounded by strange rocks, hot lava flows slowly, like a hellish scene, accompanied by sweaty palms, nervous BGM, let the player immerse themselves. When you get to the human world, it is a change of scenery, the babbling of the mountain stream, the conversation of the villagers, the chirping of the birds, the sound into the ears, and the changbai mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles, the snow-capped Changbai Mountain Range, everything is like a famous painting, and the player can also open the light chasing mode to make the scene more realistic. In this game, players can finally see the sacred tree mentioned many times in the series.
So what other fantastic scenes are there in the game? This is left to the player to explore for themselves.
