Surely they could just make new games in the Forgotten Realms. Instead of BG3, NWN3, Icewind Dale 3 etc, why not Waterdeep?

That's what we need! ...and Eye of the Beholder remaster! 
* Kidding  , though while in premise this is not bad—in practice, in today's gaming era, under the modern player/dev mentality... it would be painfully wretched.  Like a Fallout 4 derived from Fallout (1) ; not even close to being a Legend of Grimrock clone— which itself is an EoB / DM clone.

Hello people and dear DnD mates

Sorry to bring this topic up again, it may have been upped a bit too much over the years. Somehow, an evidence there is demand.

But I saw on Nexus mods an advertising for Nvidia RTX Remix. I was amazed what is planned with that project and I was wondering two things : Is there anyone else thinking this could 100% fit for an Enhanced Edition of Neverwinter Nights 2 ? Anyone know if it would actually work with NWN2 or would the technology used be different ? Would it even work with our beloved Toolset ? (actually, that were three thingies).

I strongly believe yes in the questions above. I have applied for RTX Remix program and will be actively working on improving what can be improved as soon as I am approved for beta tests (or have to wait for official release).

Somehow, I doubt an official NWN2:EE would ever be published, and I fear I have doubts for a Neverwinter Nights 3 either. And .... Baldur's Gate 3 is already so awesome and planned for being out in just a couple months.

So, as a big fan of NWN 1 & 2, all I can do with my simple resources is working on mods and hopefully publish something that can be used by players one day

Editor FreshLook on the Vault has been doing some interesting work to enhance the game appearance:

This would work with the existing game engine, adding ambient occlusion, ground fog, fixes to transparency, water depth, improved shadows, and multiple light sources for grass. Unfortunately, I think this is a long way from release.
