Just because the computer tracks spells and consumables (I assume that's what you're referring to, since that's where I brought up the computer handling bookkeeping) means they're no longer a gameplay factor? WTF? By this reasoning, because the computer tracks hit points, that means they're also no longer a gameplay factor... again, WTF?Nobody is "adding more stuff".If you mean adding stuff that isn't in the 4E rules: Consumables are already part of 4E. Daily item powers are already part of 4E. Daily spells/class powers are already part of 4E.Nor is it a case of adding stuff that wasn't in BG. 4E Daily powers? Check. 4E at-wills? They just substitute for standard sword swings. 4E encounter powers? Trivial to handle in a videogame, where what constitutes an encounter can be programmatically defined.I have no idea where you're getting this "add more stuff" from. The only major part of 4E that would be problematic for a videogame is immediate actions, and you solved that neatly in this very thread.Certainly. But nothing that you have written shows that building a BG-ish game using 4E would contravene that principle.</blockquote>
