Ok first of all I been DM'ng for about 18 years now been playing D&D for geez maybe 20+years anyway the game has potential to be absolutely amazing and in general just mind blowing trend setting if done right here are my suggestions.
1. Allow a party of 6 not 4 in 98% of D&D campaigns especially 5e its almost standard to host a party of 6 unfortunately party of 4 is rare and almost non existent now.
2. Add more NPC characters or allied characters.
3. The lag is ridicule's I know it is early release but it almost makes the game unplayable.
4. Relationships need to be much more in depth and realistic and more graphic in my opinion realism is key.
5. Add all the classes and races that are played in D&D.
6. Many of the quest need to be more balanced some you get no map mark or hints that are relevant so extremely difficult to complete.
7. 80% of the traps my rogue can not disarm or even notices.
8. Romance options are very very limited trend set this and change that make it much more unlimited.
9. Use alignment much more efficiently like it actually means something.
10. Also there needs to be a system in place where if your talking and you have a option to use a skill like persuasion or intimidation exc that other party members that are more effective in that skill set step up and say maybe I should handle this or something like that because come on your a party it should not just rely on you this is with any type of skill check or skill use in game.
11. Also trend set you are all traveling and battling alongside one another relationship building should play a huge role in the game, maybe you are not liked by a party member does not mean the other party members might like one another more basically make character development a huge factor not just with you but everyone in your group or at camp together.
12. D&D is all about choices that make a huge impact on the world the DM created around them this goes for shop keepers as well if you continue to go to the same shop keeper over and over at some point a relationship builds between you and them could be good or bad all depends on interaction.
13. I enjoy dungeon crawling but a open world is much much much more efficient and fun in my opinion it also is a huge factor in D&D 5e open world is the way to go now days.
14. Also there's a lot of issues with loading saves I had it crash on me multiple times trying to load a save or fast travel, allies I added to the party not going with me when I traveled or left camp others not following when going somewhere others stuck in a previous area.
15. Also we should be able to build up our camp with cool stuff like trophies or statues nice beds and tapestries and so on you should allow us to create our own keep or guild or base and so on.
16. I have waited for a game changing game created for customizable options and relationships building your own army or guild and so on a true D&D video game would be absolutely ground breaking and amazing phenomenal.
17. Much much much more Lore and quest and storylines would be astounding.
18. last thing I can think of is the modifiers on dice in 5e you add your bonus to whatever you roll not take it away from the roll this should definitely be fixed.
Lastly I am no game designer but a huge D&D person yes so I don't even know if any of this is possible to put in a game but I am giving you guys my honest opinion and my own thoughts keep up the amazing work and thank you for all your hard work.
Sincerely
Shane Garvin
