Personally, I prefer sci-fi games but on lack of those, cyberpunk will do.

Even tho I'm not super keen of the whole "drugs and evil corporations", I enjoy laser weapons and mechas and I am willing to ignore the bleakness of the setting if this means I can wear a cool trenchcoat.

I definitely had more than my fair share of knights and elves. It's cool and all but "been there, done that". I am ok with low-tech scenery but perhaps move away a bit from Europe. It's not I can't enjoy it but if you are going to do that, it best be very good otherwise it will look super generic.
