Even if studios aren’t copying BG3 exactly, I would love to see a trend in narrative focused RPGs the way we see lots of Dark Souls inspired games. I don’t expect that to happen, but it would be badass.
Warlocke, I couldn't agree with you more,
I missed out in the beginning on DS1 @ 2, when I first set my eyes on DS3 my first thought was
I want them to do a dnd game. FromSoftware is IMO AAAA Game maker Elden Ring, Sekiro. I would love for them to implement a dnd game on their engine. Ill give them money now lol
I’m not sure FromSoftware could do it, and I say that as an old school Armored Core enthusiast who has loved FS since the 90s. All of their games have this very hands off approach to storytelling. Its very intentional and is used effectively, but also tends to be emotionally distant and reserved. I don’t think that would lend itself to a highly narrative experience, but maybe they could do it. I just haven’t seen that from them and am not sure if they’d even want to try.
I’m not expecting much from BioWare, Bethesda and even Obsidian anymore, and so much of the AAA gaming space has been gobbled up by large publishers, so I’m really appreciating BG3 for what it is trying to do, and from my experience with EA, doing successfully.
I hear what your saying, You really have to search out the lore in the game, its on tomes and weapons, Armor, few, very few npc's However I could see a dnd game being done. NOt one in the tradition sense that we have seen from all the BG games Neverwinter games. Just one character with a torch and a sword in a dnd world with deep lore and monsters. Meh im dreaming but yea love Fromsoftware and their art.
