Hello, im a TSR Fanatic, and pretty much I love everything they have ever made which includes DnD and all of these games we play like IWD and IWD2 and bg and so on, anyways to my point, se I dont like storylines all that much some can be good but others just bore me like in bg2 i did almost every sub quest I didnt care about Irenicus, so back to my point, if you've played DnD or whatever then you pretty much could be like yeah i want to go to this little store and buy some bottles some cloth and some lamp oil and i want to make some Molitov Cocktails, well in DnD you can... see I want to convince black isle to consider to make a DnD computer game where if you want to go into the mountains to kill a dragon you can but if you want to stay in town and sell off crops that youve grown then you can, if you want to climb a tree and wait for that wolf to come back so you can jump on its back and kill it you can if you make the roll, see when I play DnD like in the last campaign i played in that me and my friends are still working our ways through im currently making my way through faerun trying to find an old abandoned barn then im gonna fix it up and start farming, then that will be my cover as i try to convert the towns people to the favor of Talona... but anyways see like in DnD my friend Toby built his cottage with the aid of some farmers in the local area, in baldurs gate or icewind dale can you build your house, no you have to save the city or kill saeravok, I just want to chill out in a town or join the guard duty, become an apprentice for some wizard that I meet! do you guys understand what im saying sorta? would'nt that just be somthing really great, like you start up the game and you pick single player then a menu comes up and you pick a rules edition you want to use, ill pick 3rd, then I make my character and pick the town I want to be born in sorta then instead of you being some little kid your a young adult by your race standards like if your dwarf your in some dwarven city in the mountains or whatever and you can pick a god, cause not only clerics and paladins and the like get to worship a god a farmer can worship Lavender or Thor, like if they could get the AI of NPC's then you could make a profit in a bar or as a wizard identifying things and selling scrolls you make, being a dwarf make some armor and sell it and make some gold in the game, then maybe sell your shop you build or was left to you cause your master passed on, and become an adventurer travel to distant citys just to learn about the man that inspired you to become a monk, like maybe even have different realms pick the rules you want then pick the realm you want to start in dragonlance then go for it id prefer to stay in Forgotten Realms or Ravenloft but whatever floats your boat, amybe if you kill abunch of innocents then you might just get sent to Ravenloft for being all naughty and junk im just throwing out my best ideas for a game me and all my friends would love to do untill then we are stuck with pen and paper and our imagination

Thank you,
Draven Drakehorn

The closest they've come to what you're wanting is Neverwinter Nights. If you have a friend/acquaintance who has the game (and you both have broadband connections to the net) one of you can be the DM and create everything from scratch. It's *almost* like pen and paper D&D. Creating what you're wanting may actually be counterproductive for TSR. I also believe it is beyond the capabilites of a standard PC game. I know there are Massively Multiplayer Games that exist online (Ultima Online) that might come close to what you're looking for. Maybe TSR is moving toward that with Neverwinter Nights.

Hmmm, a alternative universe SIMs... I like it!

Draven Drakehorn, i will punish you very badly... your post gave me a bad headache and my eyes hurt...
Play Neverwinter Nights, i think, it will give you what you want...

Next time, please try to use paragraphs...

I need to close this thread, since it is leading away from this forum's main objective...Icewind Dale II.
