[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9519062, member: 6801845"] There's a lot that could potentially be shared in the back end like the online coordination such as class structures and spells as well as animation and tools for building out the environment. Imagine a game along the lines of BG 3 in terms of size where people could just use all the assets from Baldur's Gate to make brand new cities with a simple drag and drop tool. It also seems like you could easily port over the character builder from Sigil into other games. For all we know Sigil could be a loss leader while the real money will be in games that use parts of it's engine as a stepping stone. I just hesitate to say "It would be easy!" because things like this often seem easy to people from the outside looking in. So for me it's just speculation that they wanted to pull everything internal so they could develop and integrate something along the lines of the Frostbite engine for D&D games. Time will tell if it works, I'm withholding judgement until we have something other than vaporware and vague promises to shareholders. [/QUOTE]
