    “We’re making something new but it’s boring and will suck.” said no one ever.

    A quote from Vincke at the end of the post only stokes the excitement further. “I don’t know if we’re going to pull it off,” he wrote

    This is so refreshing. A studio with big Ws that still goes balls out and takes risks. You love to see it. Take notes, gaming studios. This is how you make fun games.

    Okay Larian, let’s maybe not get ahead of yourselves here. Your games have been decent to good so far, but you cannot predict the future like that and expect it to actually happen. A lot can happen in the like 7 years it will probably take you to develop your next game.

      They reached a huge audience with bg3, seems like a mistake to act like they’re a too good to follow up on it. No one except hardcore rpg fans ever cared about Larian’s IPs

        I believe the problem is that WOTC was incredibly hard to work with. They should have a lot more freedom with their own IP.

        They didn’t make more Bg3 because the teams heart wasn’t in it. They didn’t have the drive. You can mourn the departure all you like, but don’t put words in their mouth. They’ve spoken on the decision, go read about it.

        I’ve met more many people who have played divinity original sin 2 than the latest call of duty. If someone makes a good game, people play it.

            The point was that divinity original sin 2 is a very successful and popular game. I wasn’t saying that divinity has more players, just that it’s not a hardcore rpg fan only game.

    That’s a huge shame. I found their IPs to be terribly boring and unimaginative compared to bg3. They aren’t that good at world building on their own imo.
