Anyway, on Topic, I can't imagine how this video game would actually work. I mean, we've already pointed out how limited 5e is, and that's the TABLETOP version. Video games are always going to be WAY more limited then TTRPG's.

Just imagine a video game RPG where there's only 12 classes (assuming they actually ship the game with all the TTRPG's content) and each of them have next to no features or abilities whatsoever. With spell slingers whose best option is to just spam the same one spell over and over. LMAO, even the SNES Final Fantasy games can boast a better combat system then that! What are Fighters going to do? Just move up to an enemy and spam the attack button? Yeah, that sounds fun, for maybe ten minutes...

At least in the tabletop version of 5e, you can try to ignore the rules and pull off cool tricks and called shots or whatever, if your DM allows it, but no video game is going to be able to do handle that amount of improvisation.
