[QUOTE="GreenTengu, post: 6941215, member: 6777454"] The last actually good D&D video game was Neverwinter Nights II. The MMORPGs are well... MMORPGs and suffer from the setbacks from that. The pay to play becoming pay to win model once they go free-to-play, further setting all half-decent (and let us stress half-decent) content behind pay walls... and everything in the game designed to make you play the same levels over and over and over again... plus the whole "respawning mobs" thing. There was an RTS set in Eberron that well... gave a fairly weird impression about the setting all together, I am not even sure why that game needed to be D&D. Daggerdale was vanilla to the point of being absolutely dull. A few pregenerated characters and totally dull combat with no options.... actually, if it just put auto-death traps everywhere it would probably be the absolute perfect game for Grognards. Perfectly encapsulates their version of D&D. But for anyone who actually likes options and creative direction, it isn't very fun. After that, other than Sword Coast Legends, the only thing they put out were the enhanced Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale games... I tried them, but I despise the 2E game system, particularly the spell system... between that and having to micromanage 6 different characters at once, I didn't get terribly far in them. Actually, I think I was getting through the first pretty well and then ran into a bug where one of the characters got stuck inside something and so I couldn't continue the game at all. Not without reloading the save and redoing the last hour of tedious play. So while people praise these games up and down like they are a gift from the gods, I can say I have had much better experiences with other games. I can't even try Lords of Waterdeep because it never came out on Android. I haven't tried Arena of War, maybe I should. Anyway, I can't help but think it is a shame something akin to the Elder Scrolls games can't be made based on the D&D license. [/QUOTE]
