  1. Baldur's Gate Larian is moving away from D&D, no BG3 DLC or BG4

    BG3 already sold like 2 million copies in early access, it was already a success before "look you can fuck a bear". And much of it is because of the fanbase Larian built with the DOS games.

  2. Baldur's Gate Larian is moving away from D&D, no BG3 DLC or BG4

    What's there stopping Larian from making a DOS3 with BG3 assets? If they want to, they can even make it a 5E game without asking for WOTC's permission.

  3. Baldur's Gate So... Which Studio Should Replace Larian As The Developer of Baldur's Gate 4?

    Sawyer made it clear he only cares to make an isometric game if it gets the same budget as BG3....... and WOTC will only care about a BG4 that at least has BG3's production values. Some of you folks here need to have a reality check, the truth is that a simple Curse of Stradh adaptation from...

  4. Baldur's Gate So... Which Studio Should Replace Larian As The Developer of Baldur's Gate 4?

    IWD2 source code is lost, a full remake of IWD2 is necessary. This is the whole reason why IWD2 EE isn't coming out ever.

  5. Baldur's Gate So... Which Studio Should Replace Larian As The Developer of Baldur's Gate 4?

    Beamdog is in their current state because they fucked around too much after the success of the BG rereleases. They should have gone straight to making an original RPG after BG2, but instead they wasted time and money on other IE shit that was never going to bring in a lot of money. Game dev is a...

  6. Baldur's Gate So... Which Studio Should Replace Larian As The Developer of Baldur's Gate 4?

    There are issues with Owlcat games which goes beyond their production values, just look at the steam reviews of their games. Kingmaker is at 77% positive, WOTR is a 83%, Rogue Trader is at 76%. Meanwhile Solasta is at 88% positive and Colony Ship is at 87%, these are by devs with WAYYYYY fewer...

  7. Baldur's Gate So... Which Studio Should Replace Larian As The Developer of Baldur's Gate 4?

    Owlcat games sell 1-2 million and they have failed to grow their playerbase beyond that limit......... the truth is their games appeal to the codex audience and have limited appeal to the casuals. Everyone complains about the shitty strategy mini games that Owlcat keeps putting into their games...

  8. Baldur's Gate Larian is moving away from D&D, no BG3 DLC or BG4

    In the year which the first Baldur's Gate came out (1998), Starcraft came out and that game sold 11 million copies by 1999. I think it is ridiculous to pretend BG was anyway near as "dominating" as Starcraft. Also TSR was bankrupted and sold to WOTC in 1997 and D&D was in a dark place then until...

  9. Baldur's Gate So... Which Studio Should Replace Larian As The Developer of Baldur's Gate 4?

    Great maybe to the codex audience....... maybe to the 1-2 million people who would buy the game. To the mass majority of the 15-20 million people who brought BG3 it will look like a joke.

  10. Baldur's Gate So... Which Studio Should Replace Larian As The Developer of Baldur's Gate 4?

    Codex, Owlcat is not that big of a studio. A BG4 from them is going to look like indie shit in comparison to BG3. Obsidian making this game won't be any better cause they are struggling now even to make a medieval The Outer Worlds. And this really is why WOTC is fucked. If I am a WOTC...

  11. Elder Scrolls The Elder Scrolls VI - officially announced but you'll have to wait

    Swen is open about how he is building towards his "very big RPG that will dwarf them all"...... how he still doesn't have all the tech to do that and Larian's next game is just taking steps towards his goal. Does Todd have the same goals of TESVI? It seems Starfield was already his dream game...

  12. Atlus Shin Megami Tensei V - It's been hurting my OCD.

    SMTIV is the most accessible of the SMT games, sort of a middle ground between the plot lite SMTIII/V and that "full anime retard" of Persona 5.

  13. Baldur's Gate Larian is moving away from D&D, no BG3 DLC or BG4

    https://www.ign.com/articles/baldurs-gate-3-director-swen-vincke-answers-all-our-questions-about-foregoing-dlc-aaa-development-and-more I interpret Swen's words as only possibly meaning two things: either they are doing a genre shift but familiar turn based gameplay, or they are doing the same...

  14. Baldur's Gate Larian is moving away from D&D, no BG3 DLC or BG4

    There will be idiot devs/executives who think BG3 sold well despite being turn based shit, imagine how much more BG4 would have sold if it was an action game. And they would fight for the game because of that. In their mind it doesn't matter if they disappoint BG3 fans if they can attract the...

  15. KickStarter Solasta: Crown of the Magister Thread - now with Palace of Ice sequel DLC

    This is another of my pet peeve, it's never should I cast Haste or Fireball. It's always I need to cast Haste and if I have any more spell slots I will cast Fireball.
