[QUOTE="Burnside, post: 9061303, member: 6910340"] Undermountain wouldn't be my first choice, not do I think, on paper, that it plays to Larian's strengths. But I'm sure they'd do a good job with it. Nor would I characterize the WotC 5E version as "dungeon crawl trash". In some ways, it's a brilliant book and imo more coherent than Waterdeep: Dragon Heist. Having said that, I can find zero real sources that actually suggest that they are considering an Undermountain DLC, nor do I think there is anything in the EA game that suggests it, nor do I think most fans would want them to do it. Sure, Undermountain, Waterdeep, and the Yawning Portal get mentioned, but so do Rasheman, Thay, Phandalin, Cormyr, and lots of other FR things, because the game is set in Faerun. I do know that Larian, several years ago, in-house, did a non-public adaptation of Lost Mine of Phandelver which they presented as a proof of concept to WotC when they were trying to get the license, and WotC gave them a "not yet" at that time. I'd love to see them use other classic FR locations for future games, but I would rather they develop their own stories rather than adapt existing adventures. If they DO decide to adapt existing ones, there are options I think would suit them better than Undermountain does. But I would still LOVE it if they did do Undermountain. [/QUOTE]
