Let's face it, creating a world, especially a detailed and complicated one feels good. But why is that? Is it just a sense of accomplishment, or is it just because people feel passionate about what they created? Whatever is the answer, one thing is for sure: World Building is capable of amazing things and it is a thing of beauty. My quesion is, what do you think makes world building worth it, what makes it such an amazing thing to do, or maybe even just watch?
For me, World Building is amazing because of its potential to have an epic scale and a massive, all-encompassing scope. I always had a fascination with big, complicated things, and this also tends to show in the worlds I enjoy, not to mention in the worlds I create. Whether it is the science fantasy world of Dune with its detailed society of Fremen, psychic powers and political intigue, or the world of Foundation with its psychohistory, I enjoy settings which do not limit themselves to a single planet or they spend an impressive amount of time building a planet. In short, I think world building is awesome because it is capable of achieving such level of detail, because it can create complicated and complex worlds.
