Going back to the IGN interview with Larian studio head Swen Vincke, we get some insight on what might be coming next, why they decided not to go forward with Baldur's Gate 3 DLC plans and some of the behind the scenes of how their production pipeline works.
What game would you like to see from Larian next? I'm holding out hope for a Divinity Original Sin 3

All i can ask from a studio these days is that they are honest, passionate, and courageous enough to follow the creative spark that makes video games come out of studios thats... thats a product of sheer love. I KNOW Larian will carry on that torch. Thank you Larian for holding such high integrity. Cant wait for the next one because i know its going to be great!

First time on your channel. You have great pacing, a good flow verbally, and solid editing with great transitions into excerpts you pulled from online. Keep the formula and keep grinding.

Nevertheless I know you didn’t need to hear this advice either way but I know it’s nice to have someone reinforce something you’re already working so hard on. Thought I’d tell you

I absolutely LOVE Baldur's Gate 3, but I loved DoS 2 as well. BG3 was great for what it was and added to the already established lore in such an epic way. I feel it will be loved for a long time. I would be very happy to head back to the Divinity Series but I would be happy for something completely new as well. As it is right now, I trust Larian completely to make a great game.

Also worth noting that Sven indicated that their next game will introduce a combat mechanics feature they want for their "the RPG to dwarf them all" project so they're clearly working toward something their current engine can't handle in terms of combat and they want to refine that in the next game. My guess is something to do with modified physics (i.e. different levels of gravity) or firearm style weapons... or in other words they want to do something sci-fi. I could be wrong but my guesses will be based on that assumption... so for their next game I'd guess a Divinity game set either in the future or featuring different planes of reality, then for their "RPG to dwarf them all" I'd guess a long forgotten sci-fi IP such as Buck Rogers or John Carter of Mars.

I certainly didn't hear any skepticism about BG3 when it was revealed (aside from other publishers doing their best to degrade it).

I'm kind of playing n+1 ver of BG3 now. Sdh, Laz, W, Je, Kar... not in my camp completely but I don't feel lack of anything. Infact, when playing with full main companies, it's overwhelming to me and the story is a bit heavy, somehow I feel more enjoyable with 3p. Because of this ver, I was a bit shocked when saw Laz's corpse and a death warlock looks so much like Wyll (but not him). It give me a different feeling when trying n+1, that's how BG3 is great to me beside its combat & colorful story also art style, music and characters... seems like everything 😅

@Jules_Diplopia 2 ай бұрын

If another studio takes on DnD then they need to be prepared to offer an early access and to actually listen to the fans. For me they also need to be able to tell stories. Larian's success is in the characters, the story telling, the voice acting. The risk in them working outside of the constraints of DnD or any other system, is that they may just go too wild. Rules that you have to abide by and work within, are necessary. I do not want a Divinity Sin 3, the characters and the world do not appeal to me, but I would have said the same about a DnD game, before BG3. So I could be swayed. But Swen has talked, I believe, of a space game. Lots of options there, but equally lots of competition and pitfalls. I jokingly suggested Factorio 3, as Wube are another "good" developer. But maybe that is not practical. Whatever it is, Larian, like Wube, have through their honesty with the playing community, assured themselves that I will buy, whatever they produce next. I trust them to produce something good.

Um Bg2. I know its old but still holds up. They did Jaheira and Minsc dirty as well. I think they should of called this Never Winter Nights instead. It really didnt feel like a Bg2 sequel. Also wasnt realtime and broke many 5e rules to make the game so called more fun for the general playerbase. Its too easy even on Tactician and Honor mode. Such a good game but so many flaws. Im not sure why its praised so highly. Im bitchin yet have almost 500 hours. Same goes for my bg1, 2 , icewindale, planescape torment which in my opinion blows almost every game in existence for story. Go play it if you dont believe me. Im gonna go finish another honor mode playthrough now tho seeya lol.

There are only 2 stdios that I'd trust with a new BG game, Both studios have released some really good CRPGs in the last years. I'm not sure if either of them is willing to take the risk though because they have some huge boots to fill here. These studios are either Obsidian (Pillars of Eternity) or Owlcat Games (the Pathfinder games and Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader). That said: A possible Baldur's Gate 4 doesn't have to be exactly like BG3 - it just has to be good. About Larian's next game - unless they entirely depart from making RPGs (which I seriously doubt because that's what they do and what Swen wants to do) I'll buy their next game. I don't care about the setting too much as long as the characters are compelling and the story is good but here are a few things I would really like: - DOS 3 (obviously) - A Warhammer Fantasy game would be nice - something Lord of the Rings related - a brand new SciFi IP

I could be wrong, but I believe it was stated they will not be producing a Divinity 3 game at this time. It's interesting to hear this/these game(s) predate BG3. My guess was based off an interview mentioning the next game will be "familiar but not BG in any way nor Divinity for the foreseeable future", was that they were going to make a Critical Role game seeing as how the studio worked with all the cast in previous works as well as Critical Role breaking out into their own game setting it would not be a far leap to assume a game would be coming soon. Add to the fact that Hasbro is potentially being bought out, no new games would be made as they cannot be promised to continue with a new company. Just how Fox being bought out by Disney destroyed a lot of projects in the works at that time.

yes I remember him saying it won't be D&D or Divinity, but something familiar.

Considering DOS 1 and 2 sucked and I am having difficulty getting immersed in BG3 due to the Larianization of the classic franchise, I am not excited at all about their future projects. If this was not Baldurs Gate, I would never have bought it, even being set on Faerun

@@NeverUseAnApostrophe What is a gamer L? Is it some online gaming jargon? I don´t play online games. I used to play LAN games, Quake, Unreal 1, Half Life 1, etc. Remember Dark Suns : Shattered Lands, Daggerfall and Ultima Underworld?

Larian took a great franchise and made it better IMO. I was equally as excited for this as I was for BG2 coming out and I’m glad they did what they did. Sad to see they won’t be continuing.

I just hope they do something that gets rid of turn based combat.

Nah. Its great combat. Requires planning and its super fun. Elden ring and others are doing a great job in real time combat. This genre is just different.

I will definitely not buy bg3 expansion or bg4 from the force woke hasbro. For me dnd is dead sadly. After 30 years I need to put Larian was the last light for dnd. it in the grave.
