I just watched that first video.
Is it just me or does it feel like one of those videos a 16 year old makes in windows media creator using WoW cutscene/cinematic footage set to the most '16yo' edge music he could find?

All its missing is the intro of a black background and that skinny puppy font in green of his guild name.

To be fair though I'm definitely not the target audience for something like this as neither couch-op nor brainlessly hack 'n slashing around are my cup of tea Razz

LOL me either. I'm not its target audience at all.

I dont even like mindless hack and slash "Getting big numbers and crits is all that matters" in my tabletop D&D. Diablo it's fine...its all its for. To do it to D&D is ignoring the depth and story possibility D&D is for.
I am the OLD school D&D tabletop player, where your character and persona of them is more important than how well you can stat stack your numbers on your sheet in front of you. As I tell my players "Make a character..not just a character sheet".

So hack and slash "My character bro is bad ass look at those stats! everything I did was for optimising his dice rolls" is the wrong way to make a character for my game. You put all the energy into min/maxing him and nothing else? I will make sure he runs into a lot of situations that work off whatever you min'd... Razz

Yep.

"Black Isle" is currently probably one part time assistant learning to code while waxing Herve Caen's porn moustache's ghost and taking shifts in McDonalds to keep Interplay afloat.

Haha, judging from the Gen Z-like tone of the company's Twitter account that doesn't sound too far off from reality Laughing

Doesn't look very good, a casual 3rd person ARPG i guess and not cinematic enough to make up for meh gameplay.

What's wrong with the narration?

I think it's perfect for 11 years old console kids.

From "Polygon" Review : Dark Alliance isn’t the best the action-adventure genre has to offer, but it still manages to be a great time with friends and even by myself when I simply wanted to be in the world of The Forgotten Realms. It doesn’t have the depth of Baldur’s Gate or Icewind Dale, or even the Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance games, in terms of narrative presentation, but it was enjoyable all the same. Despite all of the game’s flaws, I am elated at the thought of playing with my group of friends. The one thing Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance is capable of providing, buried deep beneath its technical issues, is a solid multiplayer experience.
