D&D 4E Introducing Orcus -- a 4E retroclone

[Zardnaar]

So, I just finished BG3 and had a lightbulb go off.

IMO 5e is not a great fit for CRPGs but 4e would be amazing.

If someone took the time to recreate the original 4e classes in ORCUS, then you could create an CRPG that was essentially 4e, right?

A lot of the BG3 problems would go away (combat unbalanced, etc,). Obviously BG3 production values would be unobtainable for most studios, but Solasta is proof that you can develop a game based on an existing rpg ruleset with a reasonable budget.

One can dream, anyway!

4E could easily be done with 16 bit 2D graphics.

Just depends on your development size and budget.

Tactical RPGs originated around 1992 at the latest.

Young Zard was playing them 1994/95 outside Japan. NA release was 19
93 iirc.

Just few words from France, really nice (and huge) job.
