Yeah, this is only in a weird fantasy scenario where there’s only a chance for one or the other, and of course you’d always take a good game over a bad game, but I think the missed potential would sting, and I wouldn’t want devs making a bunch of safe competent games in a row because they’re too scared to make something more ambitious and befitting of the licensed material.
I’m just basically expressing that if I had to think of some dream games that likely may never exist an immersive role-playing Avatar game would definitely be a big one.
Yeah that’s totally fair, avatar has a great world and I’d love to explore it interactively. I loved the kyoshi books because they expand on the lore while keeping it consistent (I highly recommend them) so maybe a game could do the same.
