Its fantastic to finally have a developer at the height of their powers with the financial means & technical ability to do this. D&D is massive & that ability to present so much choice in a universe where players are generally only limited by the scope of their imagination & the odd ruleset is next to impossible to implement. I dont think this will set a new standard I think this game will stand apart from all others in relation to D&D in a video game form, heck if the games as good as I believe it will be I wont need anyone else to try to eclipse this for another 20 years ....Im hoping Wizards of the coast & Larian are tied into ongoing contractual agreement for Larian to back up with more content and I'll be happy for years to come.
