Like I have said since the beginning, I don't think it is going to be game of the year. Though I think it is going to be a fun game to play. I have zero interest like in all games for co-op or MMO, so I am hoping there is 30-40 hours of single player game play.

I see it the same way. I'm starved for some good D&D stuff, though I'm doubtful this is going to be the new Neverwinter Nights. Definitely not a day one purchase, but I will give it a try once the discount spiral sets in.
Which is really sad as the engine and camera and controls seem better then both NWN1 and NWN2.

My gut says this is going to be a shallow action hack n slasher with very linear weak single player aspect. Going to wait a while and decide if I will get it later. I'm a huge forgotten realms and RPG player and would love another baldurs gate style game but I'm skeptical over this.
Seems like each d&d game tries to "broaden" the brand by making them more casual. Its odd because most fans of the setting and game are not casual gamers....so they don't make games for their core audience, very frustrating.

Agreed. But licence holders for D&D and Forgotten Realms are probably not interested in hardcore games. Its harder or impossible to convince them if you dont go into MMO or casual territory.

Well… If you are a biodrone that is.
I thought I slipped onto one of my teenaged sons websites for a second after seeing your post.

Me too!
Lets talk about Rage of Demons.
Am I correct in believing that WotC is releasing a 5E tabletop campaign and at the same time it gets a faithful videogame counterpart in SCL. This is what's happening with Rage of Demons, right?
That's an opportunity for PC players to actually get to play legit PnP campaigns with real maps and encounters just like the tabletop folk.
Then once the editor is finished I'm sure people will port their favourite campaigns.
Anything is possible, really. Launch is just the start of what it can become.
Here's a super scary CGI trailer for rage of demons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpYpZlcWFV0&feature=youtu.be

You need to get some ACME rose-tinted glasses…those usually do the trick
Along with a few drugs, I'm sure it'll look like the greatest thing ever
If they'd called it Diablo Legends, I'd be more interested in this as a cooperative snack or something.
But as a D&D game? It looks really underwhelming.
Still, there's no way I'm not checking it out - and I've been wrong about these things before.
Would it be fair to say this isn't the type of game for which you'd pay $10 a month until its release? Which features are missing, compared to one you would pay that amount for?

I'd say it doesn't look like the type of game I'd pay much for at all. It looks like a shallow action RPG with clunky visuals and subpar animations.
I'll know for sure when it's out, and I'd be more than pleased to be wrong.
