How about making a new but very similar game from scratch instead?

I mean all this luggage, both technical and for some people more or less spiritual. Why not start from scratch instead of tip-toing around in this mess and risking getting nothing done for the sake of not stepping on any toes.

Also you run the risk of ending up with a game that still looks 15 years old

Lets call the new game: Neverwinter Nights 3

Fardragon

1) Because Hasbro won't licence a new 3rd edition game.

2) Because Beamdog is a very small company without the resources to tackle a project of that size.

3) Because without backward compatibility you are taking a huge gamble when it comes to community support.

4) Because NWN never looked 15 years old - It looked 20 years old when it first came out!

I should stipulate that I was joking when I said this in Discord and was vaguely referencing a Spaceballs joke. There are many reasons why this isn't really feasible. I think that the four Farsragon came up with are all very solid however

There is nothing stopping people from making their own OGL game construction engine except money, personnel, time, and skill.

Making a different game wont solve the problems with this one either and it wont make some of the more tricky suggestions less tricky for legal or budget reasons.

If you believe in the idea then you should start work on it.
