Very interesting concept.
I agree with both of you, D&D just doesn't fit in a video game format... and Im not sure why.
I spent most of the '70's & 80's playing D&D in the back rooms of local Hobby stores and I always fantasised about playing the game with visuals. At the time we used small lead figureines that we painted to represent our character or characters. I always thought... wouldn't this be cool if we could actually "be" our characters and actually "see" the enemies that we fought.
I think I was wrong, it seems that using your imagination is more fun. I've had alot more fun playing D&D with dice and a pencil than I ever did with a mouse.
I disagree on the level thing, you have to pay your dues before you can be the BMOC Dragon Slayer.
