As I mentioned - they've already stated they're doing a toolset for campaigns. So yes, the plan is for something like NWN.

Well that's pretty cool then if they're planning on supporting both types of DM interaction.

I figure they will sell packs; monsters and environments. From the video, they place a Duergar tile set and Drow monster set on the dungeon, which I take, means a dungeon can have a lot of looks but can be basically the same layout.

Also, Beholder is a add-on based on your pre-order type, so we know not all monsters are in the basic game.

Also, be interesting IF dungeons could interface with Fantasy Grounds as I could see this as a tie in.

Why is everyone comparing it to NWN? This looks more like a bad version of Diablo.

Mainly because it's similar to NWN and not Diablo, I imagine.

If you want to believe it, fine.
I see a lot less freedom in exploring, creating adventures (map editor) and environmental interaction than in NWN. The shown vidoes are a lot more like Hack & Slash games like Diablo or Mage Knight Apocalypse with a Dungeon Master mode tacked on.

If you want to believe it, fine.

Thank you; that's very generous of you.
