It’s been a long time since we’ve been this excited by a new PC release.

    It’s so refreshing to see an RPG that isn’t afraid to be an RPG. It’s not trying to twist and contort D&D into Call of Duty, it knows what it is and is proud of that. Games don’t have to be dead simple and text free to be successful. Games don’t have to have big in game stores or battle passes to be successful. They just have to be complete, an earnest attempt at a creative vision. I would take a game that tries something ambitious and very occasionally stumbles like this one over the most competent trend chaser any day.

        • Aw… I was thinking a little more literally. A real-time, first person D&D game set in Forgotten Realms? Yes please. I know the rules couldn’t work and thus would need to be tweaked, but am I the only one who thinks that does sound fun?

            I suppose Dungeons and Dragons Online kinda resembles that concept, if you squint. Honestly though that would be amazing, I reckon I’d appreciate Faerun done in the style of a far bigger Elder Scrolls game, simply because of how much I love that world. That said, there’s no way that’d be feasible with current tech whilst still maintaining the scope and depth of BG3, which is phenomenal.
