So then you don’t like the traditional fantasy setting, correct? But there’s so much more there, so many unique enemies and environments. How far did you get?

I wouldn't classify it as a setting, rather the inspiration from which the game designers are drawing from.

In Dark Souls 2, I got to [url=http://www.gottabemobile.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Dark-Souls-2-08.jpg]this part[/url].  Whether that's considered far or not doesn't matter, I saw enough of the game.

On a good note, however, I enjoyed the near-intimate knowledge of the game required to play it.  Some of the mystery involved in specific items, correct strategies to fight specific enemies, and the forced cautious-like approach to the gameplay made it something new and exciting to play.

I'm not sure if this is a good way to explain it, but when I play racing games I only like playing [i]street [/i]racing games.  Games where you're on some closed circuit at some official race track never really interested me, despite the two having exact controls and gameplay.
