** Also, if you [[Dug Too Deep|dig deep enough]], you'll get to the [[The Legions of Hell|Hidden Fun Stuff]]...
* ''[[Gungnir]]'', which is gritty and set to a [[Black and Gray Morality]] racial conflict. The world has some magic, but anything flashy is bound to be a [[Things Man Was Not Meant to Know|forbidden art]]; there are Sprites, but they tend to stay away from people, and the resident angel's morality and objectives are a bit questionable. It helps that this game is part of the unabashedly [[Dark Fantasy]] [[Dept Heaven]] series.
* ''[[The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim|Skyrim]]'' is an interesting example on account of its two main quests. The first is very much high fantasy with an ancient, indisputably evil force returning and a chosen hero with a unique superpower standing up to fight it. The other main thread, the [[Civil War]], has much more in common with low fantasy as two morally ambiguous and mostly human factions oppress, backstab and manipulate pretty much everyone in the land. The game's sidequests also reflect this, ranging from helping talking dogs and ancient gods on the one hand to a grisly slog to track down a serial killer on the other.
* [[Dragon Age]] is mostly low fantasy, though [[Dragon Age II|the sequel]] (focused on a single city and the kyriarchy within) more so than Origins.
* [[The Witcher]] is made of this. Humans [[Humans Are Bastards|became dominant by conquering other people]], elves and dwarves are so racially oppressed they let aside their differences to start a rebellion together. The word 'human' itself is put into question, the therm 'non-human' is considered a [[Fantastic Racism|racial slur]] toward the other races. Also, it appears there's other earthly races aside the standard European=human, at least an arabic antagonist in the first game.
