I think they're just going to be using the Unreal Engine like almost every other game out there. I'm pretty sure a bunch of the announced video games from WotC are using the Unreal Engine.

It will always be unsatisfactory for someone regardless of what it's like.

I actually liked that BG2 had some characters like Imoen, Jaheira, Minsc, Viconia and Edwin carry over from BG1, though Jaheira and Minsc were hardly that significant in BG3 compared to the other companions.

Anyways it sounds like it's a 3rd person action game/shooter that's probably using the Unreal Game Engine. There's probably build options like Hexblade or just using Eldritch Blast. Maybe Patron is a choice and possibly one that's plot relevant.

I actually do like their song 46 & 2 that they used for the trailer, but I didn't like how the song was cut up for the trailer.

D&D has been stated to be in the Renaissance already, when they mentioned that pistols and muskets would be in the PHB.

There's the real world case of the deity known as Avalokiteśvara in India that's male, who's known as Guan Yin in China and Kanon in Japan that's female and occasionally called "The Chinese Virgin Mary" by westerners. I certainly think it isn't a stretch that fictional deities can have different...

Tieflings are quite common in Planescape they're one of the "Original 3" of species introduced in Planescape, Aasimar are less common because they came up with the idea for them later, and Genasi even less common because they were conceived near the end of the run. They had shorthand...

I think I remember one of the excerpts saying that Ranged Weapons can be used as an Arcane Focus with the subclass and Arcane Firearm. So shooting Fireballs out of pistols definitely is a thing with the Artillerist.

Geralt is a Ranger with a specific subclass that has spells like Shield, Burning Hands, Thunderwave, Charm Person and Charm Monster on the list. Whatever Yrden is I'm sure is something that already exists on the Ranger spell list. They get some alchemy related special abilities, which would...

If it was Planescape I was running as a DM, I'd insist that the majority of PCs be Planetouched (Tiefling, Aasimar, Genasi, and other more obscure types like Chaonds, Mechantrix or whatever) from Sigil or the other planes of existence or a planar species like Githzerai, Githyanki or Bariaur...

Comics on Kindle from major publishers like Marvel and DC are pricey, the price of those has been rising and a typical book has about 20 pages of content. It was $7 CAD for a major title. And those are items where it's almost all art on every page. One could argue that those DLC might be on par...

I don't think they need to bend over backwards to explain why there's some classes or species changes brought on by Edition changes in the most generic of the D&D settings. Those settings it's easy to adapt things since they were by their nature, quite generic. And what would be a 5e specific...

At least they got to showing different animal types for Rakshasa in the Monster Manual, after so many years of them defaulting to tigers.

Easy ones variants to depict are small bat-like wings or the cloven hoofs that were on a lot of Tieflings in 2e. Or only having tails or only just horns but not both. More subtle ones would be looking just having 6 fingers as a feature, as they are a lot of Tieflings that are descendants of...
