I think its a YMMV whether Dragonfall was a strong SP module but it was unquestionably better than the first Shadowrun.

All I'm saying is that using NWN as an example isn't persuasive.

I hear you clucking, Big Chicken. I just ain't the one laying that egg.

For me personally, I just am not viewing it as multiplayer. I've got back into PnP and been playing on Roll20's website since the start of the new year and don't see that as MP anymore than I see this as. The real-time does have me concerned, but with some good design it can avoid being an MMO experience and really replicate the tabletop with the DM capability.


Or so I'm hoping.

Doesn't sound like it

 

Uh...well, I do.

[archav3n]

It looks interesting. I will keep an eye on it, but I see that the party limit is to be four instead of six.

 

I would really love a party of 5

[DarkKnightHolmes]

Looks nice. Hopefully it'll deliver. I need a game like DAO in my life again.

Party of Five?



Also, as further proof that IGN has some of the worst qualified journalists in the industry:



The fact that the first criticism of the game is that it doesn't have D&D in the title is telling. I mean, clearly a game's name is the first thing of importance when discussing a new title. And what D&D-based game has EVER succeeded with using D&D in its actual name? I mean... aside from the Baldur's Gate series, the Neverwinter Nights series, The Icewind Dale series, Pool of Radiance, Heroes of the Lance, the Eye of the Beholder series, Blood & Magic and whole host of other D&D games I'm sure I am forgetting.

You know... aside from THOSE, what D&D-based game would EVER want to not use D&D in the title?!!!1!1!11!!!

New Update from the devs on some questions:

Updated OP with pertinent information on DM tools, combat, microtransactions and other items.

There have been many new updates on this game recently. I'm going to do my best to update this OP tonight with some new info and links.

I have little interest in the multiplayer aspects of this game, but that there's a single-player option sells it to me.

 

I seem to be the only person who liked the NWN OC (played it several times), so the single-player component of a multiplayer-centric game doesn't dissuade me at all.

[Lotion Soronarr]

Interesting. Would love a proper D&D session on a computer.

You have Open RPG, but it's very time-consuming to set-up.

 

Still... 5th Edition?

Yeeeah....

2.5 (Pathfinder) is the best. Period.

If you can find a few people you can use roll20. That's what I use.

I don't understand what anime avatars have to do with the lack of responses

 

??

...And why should it?

[Lotion Soronarr]

I'm interested but cautious about getting too optimistic. I love D&D and things like it, and really want more D&D games, but I feel like, personally I want either 1 or 2 things.

 

1.) A full-on Baldur's Gate esque adventure with companions and a single-player story (not necessarily utterly old school gameplay wise, just in scope. Like...a Bioware game! Like...I want writers involved and a lengthy, hefty, single-player experience with party control and deep mechanics (though I also think there MUST be concessions for it being a video game - Temple of Elemental Evil and Baldur's Gate played SO damn slow because it seemed like they just took the rulebook and plopped it into a video game. BG2 was a little better cuz you were at a higher level, but still slow, I thought.

 

 

You are everything that is wrong with the world

[Il Divo]

Meh, I think he hit it right, in some respects. More so than the combat, I thought the heavy emphasis on open world exploration and slow movement speed made Baldur's Gate play at a snail's pace.

I enjoyed it as well, but I was a big Forgotten Realms fan at the time. 

 

Ever since they moved the timeline forward by 300(?) years I stopped caring though.

[cotheer]

Well.....color me impressed and interested.

I thought the increased movement speed in BG2 harmed gameplay significantly. I want that slower pace.

ToEE combat, being turn-based, played quite a bit slower than BG's did, but it was still really fun.

And, of course, the toolset aspect of the game. Which is shaping up to be capable of making content for players to experience, as well as edit an existing campaign on the fly.

There's been discussion on the n-Space boards about having the game have the option to pause from realtime after every set of party character actions was complete, replicating a turn based system in a real time environment.

That sounds excellent.

Okay, a day late, but I have updated the OP with new article information. Also, once the Twitch stream is posted somewhere for the public to view, I'll get a link of that up and relay any relevant info.

[animedreamer]

have they given a guesstimate release date?

[animedreamer]

okay i just checked my PC specs over at Can I run it systemslab, and my apparently dated GTX 660 Ti, lacks the video ram (1gig), needed for the recommended 2gig video ram game that is Legends of the Sword Coast. Should I let this concern me? Will this effect performance all that greatly? I'm more concerned with slow downs, freezing and so than resolution.

 

Should i buy a new GPU? If so would a GTX 970 fit my rig? I looked at the images of the 970 and its monitor ports are horizontal to each other as oppose to vertically stacked like my 660 Ti, which i think a sign of incompatibility at least physically with my tower/PC correct. I'm new to PC building and how this all works out.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that at Lowest settings, a TI-89 could run this game. It's a locked over head perspective, realistic number of units present at once and graphics that, while I'm sure will look appealing, are still the product of an indie studio and not a full fledged AAA developer.

Just my own two cents.
