[QUOTE="gyor, post: 7782162, member: 6670153"] By D&D video game standards it's not good sized staff, it's absolutely huge. Their writing staff alone (27 writers) is bigger then the entire staffs for most D&D video games. For example if Neverwinter Online is any example, assuming a writer staff equal to Star Trek Online, it would be a writing staff of one, one full time writer, with none writing staff doing some of the writing as well. 300 Devs, 200 internal and around 100 external. That ia massive, shockingly massive by D&D standards. To compare this is the staff size of Baldur's Gate 1. Lead Design: James Ohlen Design: Rob Bartel, Ross Gardner, Scott Greig, Matt Horvath, Lukas Kristjanson, Raymond Muzyka, James Ohlen Lead Programming: Scott Greig Programming: Daniel Morris Additional Programming: Mark Brockington, Mark Darrah, David Falkner, Debbie Greig, Gautam Karnik, Stan K. Melax, James Ohlen, Justin Smith, Cameron Tofer, Don Yakielashek Graphics / 3D Programming: Gilles Beauparlant Music / Sound Programming: John Winski AI Programming: Mark Darrah Libraries / Utilities: Don Yakielashek Producer: Raymond Muzyka Lukas Kristjanson did most of the writing until Throne of Bhaal. The entire staff of Devs on BG1 & 2 is smaller then the writing staff alone of BG3. Just to put things in perspective. This is why we shouldn't set our expectations based on what previous D&D games did or could do or their limits. It's why I think its at least possible that every playable 5e race up to now and every class and subclass will be in. And I wouldn't even be surprised if out there stuff like flying and mounts and Vechiles and playable Spelljammers and Infernal War Machines will be in. Even spells like Magificant Mansion, Mighty Fortress and Temple of the Gods might be in. With a staff that size it hard to guess what makes it in. [/QUOTE]
