Well right now there is no objective standard of what constitutes a "AAA" game... however the term "AAA" has become a buzzword in the industry, and caught on with the user base. Players have decided they want to experience so called "AAA" titles because of the association with huge budgets and quality. Truthfully I think the problem is that there is no central group rating games and development projects, allowing any label like that to be used by anyone for advertising and promotional purposes.... which over time is going to erode any meaning that the label has, since anything an be called "AAA" just like any studio can claim to be "Indie" irregardless of what the reality might be. The bottom line is that nobody wants to be seen as a middle-low end fly by night developer, thus everyone wants to claim to either be a heroic "Indie" or part of the cigar-chomping "AAA" league of fat cats.ScotRotum said:
I'd imagine Bedlam has enough backing, and a noteworthy enough liscence (D&D) where it can't be taken seriously claiming to be indie, so it feels it has to claim to be "AAA" level.
Largely wasting your time explaining lore and canon here. I say this as a huge FR fan myself mind you. It's long been obvious WotC has lost touch with it's older demographic and has for years now been pouring money into trying to draw in new players with a substantial numbing down of various systems and games. I have little doubt that this game has about as much to do with D&D as the D&D movie did.Therumancer said:
D&D is/was about freeform systems, choice, roleplaying and the ultimate sandbox experience. Early games like Balders Gate and Planescape made very good attempts to capture these ideals (/especially/ given the limitations of technology at the time, wow).. but I haven't seen anything come from them in a long time that shows they are still interested in that. Hell even their tabletop system was re-engineered to be more hack and slash.
So.. this is to me exactly what it looks like in this trailer. "Armored Dude Kills Nondescript Skeletons with a Sword... PART TEN!: The reccckoonnninnggggggg!"
I'm sure there will be a caster class, and *gasp* a class that uses bows. If they are /really/ pushing the envelope, maybe a rogue themed class. The urge to roll my eyes is overwhelming. What a waste of an unbelievable license.
Daggerdale.
Not influenced by Daggerfall. Or Icewind Dale.
Promise.
Meh. I play D&D tabletop with my group every week anyway, I don't need a play-alone version. Plus we get to use 3.5.

Nothing wrong with 4th ed, yeah it's more streamlined, but any DM who can't let you do the same thing in 4th that he did in 3.5 is a bad DM. 4th just gives you more freedom on any character rather than specialising in that one obscure skill that nobody else would ever bother picking up.
You want to make some dragon fat soap? How about a crafting check in arcana and nature? Pretty damn easy, compared to 3.5's Magical Soap skill that you put points into instead of putting them into something useful.
OT: The game looks pretty bland, Dragons Dogma screenshots so far look pretty cool.
