I'm playing a computer game and having great fun with it, called "Clive Barker's Undying". But it struck me that it contains a lot of bad old steryotypes...the central mystery in the game revolves around a great evil that eminates from an ancient circle of Standing Stones in Ireland. And it occurs to me that most games that deal with Witchcraft or magic adhere to these negative images.

Now I don't want to get all stuffy about it, but is anyone aware of any computer games that have POSITIVE portrayals of Witchcraft/Wicca/Paganism? It sure would be a refreshing change.

Legend of Mana, Final Fantasy, etc. all have good stereotypes of faerie folk, nature, and common earthy people.

Good + Stereotypes.
