This page has almost become a joke. Reading the first few paragraphs I got the impression that Low Fantasy is "fantasy with very little fantastical elements", something like say A Song of Ice and Fire. However there are so many examples that are essentially "This work is set in a High Fantasy world full of magic and other stuff, but focuses more on traditional drama." The Witcher one being a great example. Now, I've only played the third video game but that had so many different creatures, witches, elves and dwarves and and the protagonist is a magic spell-casting monster-hunter. Calling it Low Fantasy is ridiculous.

Too reliant on anecdotal evidence to make a good repair effort. Not opening.
