I've been thinking, whilst playing Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance after recently noticing it has been ported to Steam (Thankfully, I can't play my original copies because my ex-GF has my PS2 and DA, DA2 and Champions of Norrath use an engine that doesn't jive with emulators, though ironically Champions: Return to Arms does work on emulator)
But a remake of the 2 original Dark Alliance games could be sick.
It could come with some interesting modern updates to boot such as:
- Character creation (As opposed to using the 3/5 set characters)
- More classes and subclasses
- More expansive and interesting areas (Without old hardware restrictions, there could be a more open world with exploration possibilities)
- Revamped Feat/Skills system (Take inspiration from modern ARPG's like Diablo or Last Epoch)
- More spells and skills (Possibly even a roll button a la Soulslikes)
- More quests, dialogue, interactions (Whilst still using the same core premise for the main story)
- Potential for companions to enhance single player gameplay (Also a way to implement characters and story elements. I.e. DA2 references that 3 heroes killed the BBEG)
Of course, I could see this as being a niche suggestion given that the ARPG games eschew much of the TT rules. But there could still be a market for a story driven ARPG (Especially with the barrage of modern Live Service MTX ridden loot farming simulator ARPG's)
