The mid nineties to the turn of the century was a special time. We got Morrowind, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, even Ultima 8 had a pretty interesting setting (even if the gameplay was atrocious). I'm sure there were other games and fiction with interesting settings as well.
Then the LotR films came out, and that was it. Everybody started bandwagoning hard.
