D&D 4E 4e and Video Games

Remathilis is very wise.

And, apparently, incapable of recognizing my (not) unique brand of sarcasm.

There should also be an equivalent when talking about RPG art and saying it's too "anime".

True. "Anime" seems to be the new "videogame".

Also, Remathilis, your sig is getting a bit too long to read.

I for one would really love to see a BG: DA III.

I think the Bioware folks said at some point (don't have a link, so I might have imagined it) that they're sticking to their own IPs for the nonce. I don't know how NWN2 did sales-wise but I know that it was rushed out the door. I wouldn't mind seeing a NWN3 someday that had an online multiplayer component as strong as NWN1's was.

Don't forget, that NWN2 wasn't made by Bioware, it's from Obsidian.

I would like to see one set in Eberron but not the current MMORPG. Something with the ability to run a character or a few, maybe something that highlight's the setting's history/style, maybe a mystery that needs to be solved -- D&D Gumshoe type deal. Actually maybe a NWN but for Eberron is what I have in mind....

edit: Actually, with Sharn as "3D" as it is, maybe I'd like to see something along the lines of a 1st person/3rd person shooter (not really a "shooter" though). Something along the lines of the Jedi Knight games. I always enjoyed running around in 3D environments as a Jedi, particularly in settings like Corruscant where you could knock opponents off of ledges, jump up or down to get to places, etc.

I'm imagining a Rogue, Swordsage or Warlock in Sharn, themed similar to the Thief games ... that would rule. You'd be an all-day, all-the-time sneaker / sniper, and everyone else would be standard D&D characters.

Wow. Someone write that game immediately.

Thanks, -- N

The MMO isn't public knowledge yet, but... no.

Be cool to see somebody implement the rules, though. Who knows -- maybe the "conversation-as-combat" system will make for more exciting (and rules-based) dialogue exchanges. I like BioWare dialogue, but it doesn't mix well with 3e conversation skills as a general rule.

(sorry for yet another move but now that we have a dedicated 4E forum it seems the best place for it)
