[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 9819523, member: 725"] Eberron already has two computer games to it's name: [LIST] [*]Dragonshard (2005), an RTS. [*]D&D Online (DDO, 2006), an MMO. It's first name was [I]Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach[/I], later it was renamed to [I]Dungeons & Dragons Online: Eberron Unlimited[/I] and when they added FR content it got it's current name DDO. What little I played of it, it was probably the best D&D MMO experience I ever had, adventures actually felt like adventures. Although I don't think I really played the Eberron content... [/LIST] Neither really felt all that unique or what made Eberron slightly interesting for me, the magic trains/airships, the magic/steampunk like setting with 'robots' that decorated so much of the promotional material during the 3e launch. So what kind of game would we want? It being D&D I would say, a RPG. Going for the obvious BG3, getting Larian to make a BG3 like game of Eberron with the really iconic stuff would be interesting. But as Larian is not returning to D&D, it's an unrealistic idea. If we were looking for a more isometric game like PF Kingmaker or Rogue Trader, then Owlcat could make something spectacular. If we're looking for something more FPS, but still epic RPG, CD Projekt Red did some awesome work with (RPG) properties like The WItcher and Cyberpunk. They could do some awesome work with Eberron iconic visuals. There are other teams that made awesome games, but honestly I suspect that many of those would stray from the source material (D&D + Eberron) more then necessary or it would just be a game with the Eberron name taped on with [I]maybe[/I] a Eberron skin. The only thing I'm missing is something like a third person RPG with DM building tools like Neverwinter Nights 1/2, but I don't see Bioware or Obsidian ever going back to their earlier works and the quality of those works. [I]Maybe[/I] something like Solasta, but I wouldn't be all that hopeful. [/QUOTE]
