I voted fantasy because I have come to like aliens and vampires. I didn't think I ever would but one day I got curious about elder vampires and started popping them in new games to see what their powers and weaknesses were. It turned out that most of them had pretty decent traits as well as a skill two. I did the same thing recently with an alien that I was about to delete.
Unfortunately, game-generated vampires come with some pretty awful weaknesses. Two that I see a lot are Uncontrollable Hissing and Undead Aura. A vampire that I'm playing has those two weaknesses and would periodically have the whim to "Make a Friend" which I found can be done but it takes awhile. At one point he had 19 acquaintances and they all disliked him. I did consider having him work on the Master of Mischief aspiration and join the Criminal career to make use of some of those negative relationships.
While playing the vampire I spotted an alien doing his mind thing at a bar and decided to see what made him tick. I still don't know really. The alien and the vampire sometimes run into each other at the library or at a park where one or the other is playing chess. I think the alien routinely erases the vampire's memory because they seem to have to keep re-introducing themselves to each other. The alien doesn't do that when I'm playing him, it only seems to happen when I'm playing the vampire.
The save that they're both in makes me laugh when they run into each other. The vampire re-introduces himself which causes a negative reaction on the part of the alien because of Undead Aura. At some point, the vampire re-discovers that the alien is an alien and he either gets confident, tense or angry. The alien sometimes does something that causes bubbles and the vampire forgets that they have met. The vampire hisses which causes the alien to get up and moves away. And so it goes.
So yeah, I'd have to say that is one of my favorite saves to play. It's definitely fantasy.
