I was impressed with the NPC they added to Dantooine complete with reconstructed voice acting, even though the subtitles didn't match and the Exile's dialogue options were out-of-character for the game. That's an impressive level of dedication.

KOTOR2 is probably still my favorite piece of the old Expanded Universe. Sigh

I had a dream that my friend told me he had found a new game that was "like pirate wars, except its Elvis vs the Freemasons."

I think this game should exist.

Game I wish existed: A non-terrible pirate MMO that isn't Puzzle Pirates.

Literally a non-kid version of Puzzle Pirates. Is that so much to ask?

I too have dreamt of a pirate-themed MMO that wasn't made of PopCap flash games.

Though to be honest I would prefer something single-player. Like a party-based pirate RPG in the vein of Fallout/Divinity: Original Sin/Baldur's Gate/Planescape: Torment. Pirates are just my favorite thing, and I love the idea of a half-simulationist, half-gamey pirate game where you buy and furnish a ship and then sail the seas plundering and adventuring.

I'd like to see a remake of Baldur's Gate that actually used the rules for Dungeons and Dragons. I'm not totally familiar with every edition of the rules but I'm pretty fucking sure that all of them are turn-based.

Getting hooked on Clicker Heroes made me think I'd like an idle game more automation-friendly.
What I have in mind would be primarily a fusion between idle games and programming games, an idle game with an exposed API so players can script their way through, so that interaction with the game is only demanded in parts the player hasn't scripted yet and boils down to finding the best automation scheme. Heck, parts of the API itself could be treated as upgrades that the player has to unlock before using for maximum upgradeness. 
In particular, I'm thinking a base building/tower defense substrate could give lots of automation tasks to toy with.

Being hooked on Idle Games I like this idea.

It being turn base isn that much of a corner stone for the combat found in dnd. Its done as a matter of practicality. You have free movement and hits and stuff while using the rules just fine.

You can never hope to make a 1:1 recreation of dnd rules into a video game. Its an entirely different medium, with entirely different restraints.

Are you familiar with the Uncharted Waters series for the SNES? It's not really group based, though.

I was gonna mention that. UW also had a MMO version called... Uncharted Waters Online, what a surprise. I only played it in beta and tbh it wasn't quite good, but hopefully they'd improved it(if it still exists, that is).
Pirates of the Burning Sea is another name I heard thrown around that time, some people said it was better than UWO, particularly when it comes to PvP, but I never played it myself.

Noted. Will do.

Risen 2 is a (single player) RPG, and it's about pirates. I think you command a ship, but I'm not sure. It's one of the many games I have on my Steam library that I haven't even played... but I read decent things about it. So, maybe that qualifies, or maybe it's just a bog-standard open-ish world RPG with people dressing up as pirates.

I'd be interested in an open-world 2d JRPG in the vein of Skyrim and such where you can recruit various characters into your party.

Are you sure 2D and skyrim-esque get along nicely?

[SealyStar]

More to the point, how can you have a Skyrim-esque JRPG? It's not just a matter of combat style; the structure of a typical JRPG is very different from CRPGs like Skyrim.

[Gatleos]

Meaningful choices in character creation and an open world aren't all that incompatible with the kind of turn-based combat in a JRPG. I guess it depends on how you define JRPG and CRPG.

I just don't understand why people would prefer JRPG combat. JRPGs are typically only better than CRPGs in terms of character development and sometimes worldbuilding creativity (seriously, TES lore may be "deep" but it's basically launching fantasy cliches at a wall and seeing what sticks) so I don't understand why you would deliberately put JRPG combat slog into a serviceable otherwise-CRPG.
