I disagree. It would have become forced first person since that is what they seem to be making nowadays and I can't play those. I haven't played any other Larian games yet but so far they have held my interest with BG3 and that is hard to do because I tend to find isometric TB boring and unimmersive. Can't even finish the first BG because of this.

Agreed. Often there is a disconnect between what the corporate types who see only the money making want to see, and what the developers want to create as well.

Systems like Vampire and Cyberpunk are not traditional party-based RPGs, they work very well in first person, as Bloodlines already shown. For a game in this setting an immersive FPS is much more interesting than a top down isometric game.

Would have loved to play these but FPS makes me puke. I agree that TPS/FPS is more immersive though.

DnD is turn based per definition and 5E is harder to put in real time than 2E or 3E, at least I have not seen a real time 5E game so far.

I would love to see 5E done as a TPS, unfortunately I don't think it would be possible.
