D&D General Hidden Path Making 3rd Person Open World AAA D&D Video Game

Hidden Path Entertainment is recruiting for an "AAA, third-person, open-world fantasy RPG that will be taking place inside the Dungeons & Dragons franchise." The game will use Unreal Engine 4. The company has made games like Raccoon Lagoon, Witchblood, Defense Grid, and has also been involved with Age of Empires and Counter Strike.

An open-world game is one like the Grand Theft Auto series, where the player is free to roam across the world. Other examples include Fallout, Assassin's Creed, and more.

So you're saying I shouldn't compare the game to Zork? But how will people know that they have to have light so they aren't eaten by the grue?

My brother-in-law had this on his Apple II so I actually only played it a few times. I don't think I ever got past the stupid raft.

Also I don't play many video games. I've never heard of "Breath of the Wild" or "Daggerfall". I have heard of GTA.

"Breath of the Wild" is the latest Zelda game. It made a massive splash about two years ago.

I mean, I wasn't asking -- I was answering folks who wondered why I used GTA as an example. Answer being, I've heard of it!

Ooh. I'm curious as to how this will use D&D. Is it another Realms romp? Are they doing Eberron or Ravenloft this time? Hows the 5E system going to translate, if at all? Third or first person?
