Zaxares: I'm still only starting out in BG3, but I'm fairly impressed with what Larian's done so far. (There are some minor gripes with the occasional bug and the camera feels a bit clunky, but these are minor issues.) I'd like to see Larian (or another developer) do something similar to BG3, but using RTwP, and set in either Ravenloft or Dark Sun. Those are by far my favourite D&D settings. :)

J Lo: You have really good taste. I was thinking about this a few days ago, with these two campaign settings. If Larian does venture out into another D&D setting, it would likely be Dragonlance or Spelljammer, as those two were released for 5th edition relatively recently.

Rod2000: Hello everyone. Been enjoying the heck out of Baldur's Gate 3 so far, but it's got me thinking about what would everyone's ideal D&D game be? Keep in mind, it can be any genre (RPG, Hack and Slash, RTS, Grand Strategy, etc.). For me, I have two:

The first one would be an RPG format similar to what we have here in Baldur's Gate 3. The twist, however, is that you can select the edition that the campaign will follow (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.). This could create an infinitely repayable campaign trying to figure out what works best with each edition as well as a nice showcase on the evolution of D&D between each edition. This would be such a huge undertaking, so I doubt this would be possible cramming all these rulesets into one game, but it is an interesting thought nonetheless.

The second idea I have is a game where you take control of a dragon from birth until death. It would be awesome seeing yourself start as a baby dragon and eventually become an all powerful elder. You would even be able to choose if you want to be a good dragon keeping order in the universe or one that is hellbent on bringing down chaos and destruction.

So those are my two ideal hypothetical games. Not saying that they will happen (and probably never will), but I find it cool to think about this. Let me know what your ideal D&D game would be. Thanks!

Zaxares: Ooh, Spelljammer might also make for a really interesting CRPG. With the popularity of modern sci-fi shooters, I could definitely envision something like a KotOR-inspired style RPG set in Spelljammer and traveling through Realmspace.

Dragonlance is also a treasured setting of mine, but one of the big drawbacks about Dragonlance is that the setting tends to play out in the shadow of what happens in the novels. No matter what the players are doing, they tend to play second fiddle to, say for example, what the Heroes of the Lance did. That's not always a bad thing if one's after smaller, more intimate adventures where the stakes aren't so much "save the world" level, but in my experience most players DO tend to want the whole "save the world" experience, especially as they start climbing in levels.
