Who the f is Shawn, wtf is evolve? Why is every shitty game dev crying that other people make good games, without shame? Oh that's right, based on their releases, they have no shame.

Who are these people? Seems like some randos if you ask me.
Those developers trying to shit on Larian need to cry and seethe more. Terribly incompetent people who can't create good games themselves, why not trying taking notes instead?
Keep up the great work Larian.
The devs are mostly not the problem with the state of AAA games today, it's the people telling them what to do in order to maximise profits.
Same as with most problems we face as a species, really.

People have been saying this game is exciting because of the lack of mtx, but it seems to me that any big rpg gets a lot of attention. Eldan Ring got similar praise last year. Bioware was making these kinds of games fairly consistently about a decade ago and then stopped to make shit like Anthem. It's a design decision not a budget problem.
Microtransactions come with specific challenges. Specifically, you have to give the players a reason to pay them, and that's usually done by making the game purpously worse for those who don't pay.

Hear that Gamefreak, owner of the highest-grossing media franchise of all times?

Why are people pretending baulders gate is the only high selling game with no microtransactions as of late? Off the top of my head Elden Ring and Tears of the Kingdom both released in the last year or so, no microtransactions or dlc as of now.

I have a large backlog of games to play before I even think about buying anything new, but is this even a good game? Serious question because I know there has been a huge amount of press on it, but haven't watched any reviews yet (on purpose because I hate spoilers and don't want to be tempted with a new purchase yet).
It uses DND 5e as the underlying rules set. I hate DND 5e. It's a garbage system full of old bad ideas, and it has such tremendous brand awareness it sucks all the air out of the hobby space.
Baldur's Gate 3 is still an extremely good game in spite of all that.

Do you like old school CRPGs?
Do you like tabletop/pen and paper RPGs?
Do you have one to 3 friends to play with?
If the answer is yes to 2 of those, then I highly recommend it.
I'm not too fond of CRPGs and I'm hooked on this game. It oozes excellent workmanship and appreciation for the genre/source material which makes it hard to resist.

"what funding?"is a dumb question. all companies have funding. especially software. very few companies legit started in a basement and progressed to international status relying purely on profit and loss sheets.
Just as an FYI, the user who posted "what funding?" Works for Larian; director of publishing.
The OP intimated they received funding from WotC to make the game. They didn't.
