    In answer to your question about if I want more D&D games, I just morphed into a mind flayer!! While the face tentacles are cool they are rather cumbersome… 🦑🦑🦑

    To be honest I would kill for a D & D video game where it’s either first or third person (idc which) that has like a official campaign and a option for home brew if players want to make their own imagine the possibilities



  4. Wise Ferret on June 26, 2021 at 1:22 am

    My favorite was Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor.



  5. Bertrand Barbier on June 26, 2021 at 1:22 am

    Awesome!



  6. DeathGun on June 26, 2021 at 1:25 am

    I want a official D&D Game where it comes with a default campaign, but the meat of the game was custom made stories made by other players, that people could play with their friends.

    I think temple of elemental evil was the closest thing we get to the tabletop version. It have solid story, character build and tactics. Well not as great as play it on table of course, but i hope they gonna remake it to the better version without bug and stuff. Honestly i enjoy the game soo much 😀



  8. Sadmiral on June 26, 2021 at 1:27 am

    All I want is a drizzt game



  9. Brien Luck on June 26, 2021 at 1:29 am

    I remember playing Eye 👁 of the Beholder for PC.



  10. InfernalLeo on June 26, 2021 at 1:29 am

    Still haven’t managed to make a single player version



  11. Sagar Patel on June 26, 2021 at 1:32 am

    I didn’t find a d&d pc game that I played. It had stages of clowns, venomous snake girls, Trex, flying turtles etc… Sound effects were brutal. Anybody knows the title of it?



  12. flyfishincrazy on June 26, 2021 at 1:34 am

    Great video



  13. Dan Grubbs on June 26, 2021 at 1:34 am

    Give me Expert Rules (1980?) Turn based game with a classic party classes, Fighter, Magic User, Thief, Cleric, classic races, Human, Elf, Dwarf, Hafling, up to six characters where I control the entire party and play against the computer at my leisure. Basically a modern version of the Pools of Radiance I could not afford as a kid.



  14. Jakob H. on June 26, 2021 at 1:35 am

    Im definetly hyped for the new Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance game thats coming out. Dark Alliance is the best DnD game series in my opinion. 🙂



  15. brandon7d1 on June 26, 2021 at 1:35 am

    I wouldn’t mind if they just made more DnD games that ran exactly like BG series and IWD. Same engine, just new stories… I’d play them all.



  16. PanzerFaust WOT on June 26, 2021 at 1:36 am

    More of the old RPG’s, not those polished new ones where you really don’t have to think for yourself anymore.



  17. ChronoXShadow on June 26, 2021 at 1:37 am

    I want either a Witcher-like game filled with lore and easily recognizable mobs with a cool spin on them. Or, a game that greatly reflects the tabletop pen and paper game. A game where no playthrough is the same, with multiple locations, where you can play with other people and thusly interject with buffs or attacks when they’re being computationally eaten alive. You rarely get a table top game that resembles most video games that have come out. Divinity Original Sin 2 is probably the closest in recent memory, but that needs a multiplayer option with an optional party size of at least 4.



  18. Stogie Guy on June 26, 2021 at 1:39 am

    Warriors of the eternal sun… most underrated D&D video game ever!



  19. - 𝗧 𝓲 𝓽 𝓽 𝓪 - on June 26, 2021 at 1:39 am

    No One game can reach the level of the original DnD❤️



  20. Cycro nizer on June 26, 2021 at 1:43 am

    Wjere is drizz



  22. João Sérgio Pereira on June 26, 2021 at 1:45 am

    What about Solasta?



  23. Ariel Carmona on June 26, 2021 at 1:45 am

    I still play DDO I like that mmo which is soooo different than wow. Neverwinter was ok, but DDO beats it. I would really like more games based on Eberron which is my favrote D&D campaign setting



  24. Jo's Stuff on June 26, 2021 at 1:45 am

    Less cutscenes next time and more actual gameplay footage please



  25. Justin on June 26, 2021 at 1:47 am

    I want… ever so badly. Neverwinter Nights 3, with a toolset, on PC.

    1k ~



  28. Reiper X on June 26, 2021 at 1:50 am

    I want Gold Box games, but in modern graphics, and 5e rules.



  29. Scott Swain on June 26, 2021 at 1:57 am

    You left out Ultima, Ultima 2 (1984 or 1985), Ultima 3, Ultima Underworld (3D), and finally, Ultima Online, which was the first true graphical MMORPG 🙁 You also didn’t mention EverQuest, which was the first true first person 3D MMORPG. Also, you barely mention WoW, which was arguably the best D&D-like video game made at that time. I hate Blizzard as much as the next person (from their antics lately) but geez, give credit where it’s due! And to answer your question at the end: My current preference is Elder Scrolls Online.



  30. Zhulian feags on June 26, 2021 at 1:59 am

    Ddo still is going and has many expansions.



  31. Thomas Shaner on June 26, 2021 at 2:00 am

    Planescape



  32. Joshua York on June 26, 2021 at 2:00 am

    More more more more more more moreeeeeeeee



  33. Anthony Tedjamulia on June 26, 2021 at 2:01 am

    Need. More. Dark Sun!



  34. Hari Seldon on June 26, 2021 at 2:02 am

    An updates version of Spelljammer would be great.



  35. Arvaniz on June 26, 2021 at 2:04 am

    I find the quick off-hand mention of Planescape Torment insulting. That’s the best CRPG based on D&D… ever.



  36. Lt. Bran Wulfram on June 26, 2021 at 2:06 am

    A Witcher/Assassin’s Creed style open world hack and slash MMO in the 5e format, where you can choose the campaign settings from Neverwinter to Eberron, make an extended cast of characters and explore the world.



  37. Christian Andersen on June 26, 2021 at 2:08 am

    There is so much high fantasy, that I would love some more dark and gritty fantasy – with adult themes. So pretty much like the Witcher/Diablo 1-2/Darkest Dungeon.



  38. Randall Johnson II on June 26, 2021 at 2:08 am

    DDO is pretty good



  39. Samuel Ana on June 26, 2021 at 2:08 am

    This was very well done. Great narration and very informative. Thanks!!!!



  40. Dylan Davis on June 26, 2021 at 2:09 am

    Loved the dragonlance series of books I’d like to see something around then



  41. Mikey 77 on June 26, 2021 at 2:12 am

    Strong hold dark sun dungeon hack I got in a bundle randomly as a kid it was awsome



  42. Austin hadley on June 26, 2021 at 2:12 am

    I wish they would follow the temple of elemental evil model but with Storm King’s Thunder, Tomb of Annihilation etc.

    The idea of a self contained adventure that emulates the rules in 3d turn based combat is my wet dream



  43. RACKUUN on June 26, 2021 at 2:12 am

    VLDL love these games



  44. Tara Kristjansson on June 26, 2021 at 2:13 am

    I grew up playing Dark Alliance and I LOVE IT so much, one of my favorite games ever.



  45. Руслан Руссиян on June 26, 2021 at 2:15 am

    Как там ваше ‘ничего’? Fandom Games
    БИП! БИП! Обнаружен годный контент! 🙂
    Я пытаюсь снимать крутые видео по играм. Оцените на досуге. Спасибо



  46. The Shadow Sovereign on June 26, 2021 at 2:15 am

    DDO is still going strong. 9 million in sales last year. A new expansion, ‘Feywild’ just came out in November 2020 with more expansions in the future. Why wasn’t that mentioned?
    Neverwinter Online? 3 months playing and ‘NEVER’ again.



  47. Pan Darius Kairos on June 26, 2021 at 2:18 am

    Baldur’s Gate 3 says hi from 2020.



  48. The Tactician on June 26, 2021 at 2:18 am

    Not only is Baldurs Gate 3 being made, but a new Dark Alliance game and apparently 4 other games that are unannounced, 2020 going to be big for dnd games



  49. Druid Jedi Master on June 26, 2021 at 2:18 am

    All’s that needs to happen is take the most advanced graphics systems out there, cherry pick the best parts of neverwinter from 2016 and DDO. Merge them together and stick the to rule book for 5.0, never deviating. I used to be a devout Dungeons and Dragons Online player but the player base has died. Neverwinter is not as versatile as DDO. It lacks the authenticity of learning spells and fighting styles. DDO is not as advanced in lore as Neverwinter. It lacks graphics, and has grown too old. I might be happy if the entire game was brought up from scratch by bringing in much updated game mechanics, software and hardware.
    But as it stands, DDO was ahead ofit’s time, now the times have caught up, but no one has created a good enough Dungeons and dragons game to lay the old one to rest.
