You may not believe me, but there are really a lot of players who think that DnD system is bad/boring for video games, which is why Swen says that "you can't add everything from DnD". Because some of the players actually agree with him.
It is hard to believe you on this, simply because there is no evidence. There are like two people here on this forum that constantly say "dnd sucks", you being one of them. Again, there are more people that like D&D than there are DOS players, and D&D players like video games too.
Fun fact, I never said that! All I said was that I didn't know about DnD too much, that's all. About "others", try to go beyond this forum. And think about why Larian changed dice. Even in steam community, you could meet a lot of "haters" dice system. But this is the tip of the iceberg. Believe me, many who bought this game, do not even go to this forum. That's why you don't understand why Larian do this and what they are talking about DnD system. Not all players who love RPG games have played DnD. Is that so hard to believe??? Am I saying some unimaginable things?
