[HiddenX]

A year after Baldur's Gate 3 release, Larian Studios shares its thoughts on BG3 success, cancelling the Baldur's Gate 3 DLC, and working on Larian's next game:

Why Larian Said Goodbye to Baldur's Gate 3

Thanks Couchpotato!

Hmm. Did they actually answer their own question? It's more of the same really, albeit at a greater level of detail. Gaming's longest goodbye. I did enjoy hearing from some of the voice actors though.

What's funny was Swen claimed earlier this year they were done with BG3 interviews.

From now on they will only do interviews, where they explain, why they don't do BG3 interviews any more.

 

[Couchpotato]

Nah next up is the bigger and larger then BG3 RPG as hinted in news-bits.

From what I remembering reading there are a few unannounced games in development.

 

[bkrueger]

Ok, then the next interview will be the one, where they announce, that they are developing some unannounced games. Or they will announce an announcement of an announcement.

I actually finally finished this just over a week ago. There were various reasons why it took me so long to complete, but I am sad to be done with it, and wish there was some DLC planned. I guess Mods will make do eventually.

We'll see if any new user created campaigns are ever released. I do know the tool-set has been modified, and hacked so it's possible. Though it will take a lot of work to do so.

You could do another run with a different character. The experience might really be different.

 

[Couchpotato]

Well it would take years to play every build, and just to see every ending.

Don't think I'd ever have the time to do so.

 

[Morrandir]

Yep, and there's no need to do it.
But if someone is "sad to be done with it", I recommend another playthrough with another build, until someone is no longer "sad to be done with it".

I have started a Dark Urge run. I'm trying to play it differently, but I'm really not good at role playing evil. Every time I've tried it just makes me sad. Maybe I'll try to overcome my urges, and do my best to just not open every single barrel and box and sack and chest and read every single book...

 

[Couchpotato]

Bah weakling I love the evil Dark Urge play-through. Though it leads you to losing most companions except a select few. A good Dark Urge play-through is possible as well.

You will miss some content but it changes the ending as well.

It's very well possible to play a good Darke Urge. Only in one instance you're forced to do something really evil.
And good Dark Urge is not just an afterthought, but it's well supported.
