Has anyone heard of or played Sword Coast Legends, came out in 2015/2016, no longer available but can be found on youtube.
Its a top down D&D game based on 5th edition and in the WotCoast universe.
You build your character and during a fight, each character does what they do best, no micro management, its fun and fast, it does use Pause in case you get into trouble. The game was about 60% successful due to the lackluster story/decisions etc....
But Larian knows how to write great characters/narrative, build the world etc.... Why not give something like that a shot??
It was somewhat dated when it came out as to its narration/decision making or lack of, the music and world sound/look great.
Bottom line for me, the action is fast, its all about the story telling and the journey. That does not mean that fights can be simple (as in EASY Mode), but they can be faster and for me that's the key!
I'm currently playing The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos, its kind of a starter/parody for turn based stagey/D&D games and its fun but it just does not draw me in b/c of the turn base fighting, some can take up to 15min. if it had a AI that I could set up and let things play out in RT than I would enjoy it more.
PoE:Deadfire, which i played and I played in RTwP, was ok but only b/c I didn't like the story or any factions or characters, it was a disappointment from a narrative perspective, I just didn't see what all the fuss was about. I hope they can write a better story/narrative for Avowed.
For those that like TB, that's OK, that's fine, but I'm trying to get Larian to EXPAND their horizons, don't get STUCK
