Oooh-- the inquisitive could be a changeling, with an "inventory" of disguises for accessing different NPCs. Aside from all the layers of Sharn, the story could also make side trips to other ports, like Stormreach and Vralkek (must unlock hobgoblin disguise first).
People can dream, can't they?
(Well, unless they're kalashtar...)
I have never been a Fan of Forgotten Realms but i do enjoy the NWN Games and i would think an Eberron verson would be great if they keep well to the story...
...is an epic Eberron CRPG using 4E rules.

I approve this message.
And what we need is a game that really shows off Eberron's fluff: that's a focus on Khorvaire, the Five Nations, the Last War, the Mournland, the Dragonmarked Houses. Dragonshard was disappointing in that regard.
I've been waiting years for my Planescape: Torment sequel. If they made something like that for a Sharn inquisitive character? I'd be very, very happy.

It's like you can reach into my mind and describe my ideal computer game. I wonder if it would make any money, though.
I would kill for a GOOD Computer RPG of Eberron... D&DOnline isn't what i want as that game is so far from Eberron in my view...

i agree with this that would be wonderfull!
could we start a petition or something? anyone that know how to do that sort of thing?

I think a community effort to actually build the thing will see way better results than trying to convince WotC to do it (because it'll come down to profit). We need an open source game engine similar to what Planescape: Torment used (I hear that Witcher was built on the same engine as NWN so maybe we can get access to that instead) and tonnes of people to do things like model characters and environments, write plot and dialogue, tonnes of scripting, and then more testing than you can possibly imagine.
4e is far more computer game friendly than 3e was, so expect to see lots of video games of it.
Well, considering 4e was apparently made specifically to feel like a computer game/mmorpg, it should be exceedingly easy to turn into one. None of those niggle little details of the PCs being able to do anything they want anymore, you've just got a set of powers that do specific things in specific ways.

And subscribing to DDI gives you access to an MMORPG more or less. Maps, monsters, lobby to find party members, and your own personal mini to use so you can run an adventure.

We already have things like that. Fantasy Grounds and OpenRPG allow for all that.
-Doesn't Eberron already have a MMORPG? Isn't that Stormreach? Or, was that perhaps General D&D, and not Eberron?
We don't speak of DDO here. It didn't happen.

Funny thing is that I have been playing DDO since beta and still enjoying the game. They do a good job with Eberron like stories if you take the time to stop and read them. But, as a definitive Eberron game it is not what I would like to see. A game with the rich story, maybe in the guise of the old SSI games, with multiple endings. To much hack-n-slash in NWN, but that engine would be a good one if coupled with a mix of intrege and combat.

Yes, it's Eberron. Trouble is, it's set in Stormreach, which means it ignores all the delicious fluff attached to Khorvaire. Coupled with the fact that, as an MMO, it can't have a storyline that progresses as you play, it isn't really a good way to show off Eberron's potential.
There is also the Dungeons and Dragon - Dragonshard game, a RTS game based on Eberron and Xen'Drik. It has some cool elements, but if you are a hardcore RTS gamer it might be more annoying than fun...
i seen Dragonshard game and i did not like it. It would be nices if they made a RTS that has to do with the five nations or the races. i also did not real like that it was in Xen'drik. You real do not get the Eberron feel about it. they could make one where they are fighting in the last war or something.
Thing is, 4e seems *slightly* easier to make a video game out of. Slightly. I think if 3e had stuck around longer, someone would've eventually figured out how to make a game based off it that is both accurate and fun. They came pretty damn close with Tactics...they just took some questionable liberties with the mechanics. All druids have a pet dog and absolutely no shapeshifting!
