D&D 5E (2014) Would you like a 5e video game akin to Neverwinter Nights & Neverwinter Nights 2?

Skyrim's main quest isn't very compelling. The Witcher 3 on the other hand has an open world, and very engaging quests.

I agree. Even simple side quests keep me engaged.

The lubberkin!

NWN EE being worked on Beamdog may be upgraded to 5e if there is enough interest if you believe their live stream recently. I would be willing to pay a lot for that.

Same here. That would be really awesome!

It’s better in that there is a story, I guess. I just prefer games that have a definite, distinct story, and that get to the bloody point.

You mean after you defeat all your enemies another wave magically appears, every time, for every combat?

I actually can't remember how combat went in DA2 except for that.

Hah! It wasn’t that bad. But the actual combat mechanics were pretty much perfect imo.

Th lubberkin quest was when I realized I was playing a game unlike anything else I had ever played before. Really jerks at the heartstrings.

Oh yeah! They took what should of been such a mundane thing and made it really engaging. Just how cinematic it all was. I was awed by it (for a side quest).

I voted YES!, but that's because I would be happy with any kind of D&D 5E video game. But while I'd definitely buy and play a NWN style game if it was released today, it's not my preferred format. What I'd really like to see is a game like Divinity: Original Sin but using 5E rules. Those games have sold millions of copies so there's definitely a market out there for high quality turn-based computer RPGs. Get on it WotC!

To be honest, I'd rather have them forego a construction set and 'but we must' multiplayer feature, and instead get a 5e game entirely focused on a single player campaign, something varied and a little sandboxy. But I also very much doubt this will happen before we have another two decades or so of failed MMOs and micro-extortions.

NWN wasn't an MMO and didn't have micro-extortions. Nevewinter Online on the other hand...

I'd pay....say $200 for this NWN2 style game if it included the editor. Actually I MIGHT pay an extra $100 for the editor.

This. The pause/set action/have everyone move before action takes place style of NWN and NWN2 was fine for the time, but if you actually made turn-based 5E in a video game, hoo-boy!
