As much as I liked Icewind Dale and its cousins, it didn't feel like "D&D", somehow. I enjoyed the old SSR games at the time, but they haven't aged well. First person doesn't feel great - I like having a diverse party to manage.
The only game that has come anywhere close to the feel of D&D (for me) was Temple of Elemental Evil. I love that game and still play it occasionally. It had awesome character creation, crafting, turn-based combat, skills that mattered, ways to dress your character in all sorts of fashionable gear. But boy did it have bugs! Some really annoying ones, too. Mods and bug fixes helped a LOT!
My dream D&D CRPG would follow the model of TOEE (isometric, turn-based). It would have good stories, work smoothly, look great, have top notch AI, and be 5E. It would support parties up to 6 strong, offer content for all three Pillars and enable all skills and PHB races, classes and subclasses to be represented and useful. It would be as replayable as Fallout 2, so open world/sandbox, not a linear grind. NO SUBSCRIPTIONS! Completely offline as a standard option.
Not much to ask, I know, but I would lose myself in a game like that. Maybe too much.
