I’m interested but not especially optimistic. Depends on who is actually making the game, I believe they know tabletop games well, but that doesn’t necessarily translate to a CRPG.
Random aside, the article says Marisha Ray voiced Jaina Proudmoore, but it was really Laura Bailey.
Critical Role could always licence another official D&D game with Hasbro…but my Insight check’s telling me that they might try and spin up something out of Daggerheart.
Eh, I hope not. I’m not really liking what I see in Daggerheart’s hope/fear system and how it interferes with initiative, especially. Plus it reminds me of that subplot from Donnie Darko.
It’s already a game that uses cards, after all, and I can very easily see its systems making for a solid turn-based tactics game. Or maybe they’re not gonna start small, and just barrel full steam ahead into an ambitious CRPG
I’ll bet you can make a small CRPG for the cost of what their merch store brings in in a year, akin to the Kickstarter era from a decade ago, and that’s if they want to be cautious with their spending. Given the layoffs of the past two years, they’ve likely had their pick of any talent they wanted to hire to realize whatever it is they’re building.
I’m holding out for a Mörk Borg game
I’m worried they aren’t skilled enough to do it, they just want that sweet BG3 money.
They literally have been connected to video games development their entire career. They are voice actors. They do that shit all the time.
A great D&D video game just came out recently, and will be the biggest player for a while. How do they plan to outshine BG3?
Are they projecting a release in like two years? Could be viable.
It’s an “active pursuit” which sounds like they have nothing yet. So I doubt it will even be 2 years.
Yeah it sounds like the success of BG3 probably spurred this endeavor. I was giving it two years to be optimistic but yeah most likely longer.
