Good. Let this one marinate. The modding community has barely begun to show what's possible with this game. Over time, all this will only feed the appetite for similar quality, and hopefully make a dent in industry trends.

Please, someone lend them the KOTOR IP.
What the hell is this? A corp not trying to squeeze every single penny they can get out of an IP? Damn commies hope their next game flops so bad they're back to living in their momma's basements.

Kinda bittersweet. I just finished BG3. It’s so well done. The textures, maps, voice acting, music, sounds (that spell casting echo/reverb!), stories, details like books and the stories within, artwork…just every detail is so fucking good. My only complaint is that the console version is a bit buggy here and there, and sometimes downright breaks the game (anyone who has reached the Netherbrain on console knows).
I’m excited to see what’s next from Larian!
I’m kind of alright with this.
BG3 is genuinely the best video game I’ve ever played and I’ve played like.. quite a few of them over 20+ years. A combination of lightning in a bottle and just genuine hard work.
At the same time, I think the story is very much over. They’ve tied a ribbon on it and I really feel like further “expansions” could only make it feel more murky.
As for BG4, this one took about two decades to come out, so I can’t really say how I’ll feel either way in 2050.
I'd been waiting for a Game of the Year or Complete Edition before picking it up. Knowing there's no point makes me very happy, and just sold them a license.
I would have liked, at the very least, a “DM” mode like Divinity 2 had. Oh well. Maybe modders can hack one in.
To be fair, they said no dlc or expansion. Doesnt mean they wont add modes or free content updates :p
But ye, i could understand them. This is a game that took everything they had to give. I too would want to do something else after 4-5j hehe.
I also think that if perfect mod support was added ( which is on the way ), the mod community will have you covered :)
The article really makes it seem like it's Larian's choice. Which seems odd to my capitalism-poisoned brain. I'd have thought maybe Hasbro was shooting themselves in the dick again and choosing to not let them make a sequel. Well I hope they find their next passion project soon. Eagerly awaiting what will come next.
I think it's the case that the "easy to work with" people at WotC got fired and Larian realised that they wouldn't have carte blanche on future projects like they did for BG3.
My money is on Neverwinter 3
Be still my aching heart. But hey while we are dreaming: I heard they will also release a tool that automatically transforms NW1 and NW2 modules to NW3!! :D
Maybe Icewind Dale?
I'm okay with this. I liked BG3 but I really intensely dislike D&D as a rules system.
