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

I would be more interested in a game based off of Xcom2 or Shadowrun returns with a hideout and party but using magic and medieval weapons. Also, voiced instead of text spam, large numbers of text boxes increases strains my eyes and increase my play fatigue so I can't binge play as for as long while my wife is out shopping or on a trip with her lady friends.

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.

Did this come about? Personally I'd love NWN 2 as 5e as well.

It came out in March. I doubt it's been updated to 5e though.

I just want a good D&D style game for a console. I do not like playing games on a PC.

I think I'd prefer a more party-based, Infinity-style game to something closer to NWN or KotOR, but I'd be fine with those. These were great games of their own, after all.

What I definitely do not want is a kind of turn-based slog a la the Gameboy Advance remake of Eye of the Beholder. 4e would have made for a fine turn-based gridded strategy RPG, but I don't think either 3.X or 5e really fit that style well.

I'm the opposite, I don't like consoles.

Well, you are more likely to get what you want than I am.

Currently, I only have a kinda-sorta console. I bought a Switch for the kids, which I occasionally use to play multiplayer games with them.

I'm holding off on getting an X-Box until the next Everscroll game or some similar game excites me enough to buy a console to play it. Unfortunately, it seems Everscroll 6 will be a mobile game. If I can get it on the switch I might try it, otherwise this may be the first Everscrolls game I pass on.

I suppose I could go back to playing games on a PC. If I can get a powerful enough PC box at reasonable price that i can just keep turned on all the time and connect to my large plasma TV. But even with a wireless key board and mouse...ick. I just want to sit back, grab a controller and play.

Every time I go back to PC gaming, it just starts to feel like work. I last tried with the re-release of Planescape: Torment, which I love, but I never finished it because I just had playing games on my laptop.

PC Gaming is honestly going the way of the dodo, what with most big PC games getting releases for consoles anyway (and thus optimized for consoles). PCs are only worth it for the modding community, but that's starting to become more and more accessible on consoles too lately. I'm trying to get my hands on a good laptop/tablet crossover (been eyeing the Surface Pro in particular) to run the classics I've got sitting around on my GOG library, but that's really all you need a PC for for gaming these days. The best PC-exclusives at this point are all indie games that don't put a huge strain on your hardware.

Also, the Elder Scrolls mobile game looks like it's going to be a spinoff; Elder Scrolls VI should be a full-fledged single-player release.
