    Discworld as a book series is perhaps the most richly written and creative fantasy series out there, it just happens to also be very silly and satirical so people don't expect the one two punch of it actually being pretty smart at times. It's like having the fun uncle tell you a story and you only realize after the story's over that it actually had some profundity and insight to it despite it having a baudy limerick or two.

      It's also incredibly samey in it's tone and jokes. I've read two books and liked them, and the third was exactly the same so i put it down. Way too repetitious for my liking.

    Considering the plot is about making Death popular it’s probably a good idea to bring up how Death is actually a very popular character. He’s been the main character in a few of the books and people in real life will frequently mention that when they die they hope this Death will be the one to welcome them. Someone in your darkest hour to let you know everything will be alright.

    Pratchett's wordplay was unmatched and to this day it hasn't been topped and probably never will. Both games were great and even Noir was decent. Also, I'd very much like for someone to craft an open world game with the main hub being the great Ankh-Morpork. Or a game even set solely in the city would be nice where you as a rookie Watchman would get thrown into the crucible of the city and will need all your wits to get out alive on the other end. I realize this would be pretty much impossible with pterry's passing and any surrogate work would surely be only tarnishing the legacy but still.
