Beamdog mentioned something about having a D&D license to make a new game after meeting with WotC and they did mention something about choosing to base it on 4th Edition.
Games I've been playing are: Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition, Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition, Divinity: Original Sin, Wasteland 2...looking forward whatever "Adventure Y" is from Beamdog (which appears to be set in the Baldur's Gate series), and Pillars of Eternity (of course), and Torment: Tides of Numenera. Numenera is truly an epic setting.
