Firstly, the game was intensively marketed on pages like this one, and on WotC's own page, in the Dragon+ magazines, and so on, and so on. This will draw MANY people expecting a game build on 5E D&D (which was what was promised).Even if most potential players are completely oblivious to PnP and FR, this game has little draw. The DM mode appeals mostly to PnP fans, the campaign story (which I've heard is good) caters specifically to those with knowledge of the Forgotten Realms - not the casual players. So what you have falling back on would be good action gameplay, but truly, Diablo 3 looks 10x better than this game, is much better balanced, has more exciting loot and is just more exciting to play. My point is, this game has been marketed one way, designed a second way, and plays a third way. It wants to do a lot of different things, and does neither really good. It's not a faithful D&D RPG. It's not a very good action RPG. It's not an extensive world-building tool.Mind you, I could be wrong, but I think they could've landed closer to the sweet spot if they had stuck closer to 5E ruleset. Would've satisfied my nerddom, I can say that at least.60% positive reviews on Steam tells me that not everyone is satisfied, at least. Many of the positive reviews still list several flaws - either lack of 5E, problems with gameplay, or problems with DM mode.</blockquote>
