I really would like to write an old-fashioned fantasy. In my opinion, the genre has been going downhill for awhile, with a few gems scattered about. Harry Potter, The Underland Chronicles, etc. (Not Twilight. 
)
By old-fashioned, I mean elves and dragons, and dwarves; mages and clerics. I just want to make it original; not so old-fashioned that everyone's heard it. Any suggestions on how to put my own spin on it, without making it like the modern fantasy going on now?
I just want to make something like... Baldur's Gate. Have you ever played that Computer game? You should. It's awesome. Mages, pickpockets, the children of a dead god, nymphs, dragons, elves, half-elves... I wanna write something like that.
