Someone made the first arc of Baldur’s Gate 2 by modding Dragon Age: Origins, for instance. However, you are right in the sense that you cannot make a game about dragon riding knights, bird people, and FF style “dragoons” (warriors who jump impossibly high into the air and then use gravity to land on enemies with lethal result that somehow doesn’t hurt the jumper), using a Dragon Age engine. There just isn’t any room for flight or high jumps. So, there are limitations in video games that don’t exist in TTPPGs. Still, a comparison doesn’t have to be perfect in order to be valid.</blockquote>
