Yeah anyone apart from Larian making BG4 is basically fucked. Maybe if they wait 5-10 years and a studio with an established brand comes in, but that isn't what's going to happen.

Prior to BG3 I held BG1&2 somewhere in the top 5 games of all time. BG3 had an impossible bar to meet and they not only met it, but far surpassed it.

I'm genuinely sad at whatever BG4 releases as. It's like someone who loved Diablo 1&2 looking at Diablo 3&4. Diablo 3 was a shell of Diablo 2 and I literally just had to check if Diablo 4 was a released game. Maybe it's fun to someone, but I've completely checked out of the series.

So here's to BG4, BG:TCG, & BG:Mobile, shells of the greatness that came before them.

Oblivion Obsidian is the only other company that can hold expectations currently

Obsidian's last open world game, The Outer Worlds, was best described as "whelming"

Thanks for the chuckle, this comment helped brighten my day a little!

Obsidian hasn't made a good game in like 15 years dude. They're a has-been. I doubt they even have any of the same staff.

Who?

Lol, pretty sure they meant Obsidian.

Yep. I could say it was autocorrect but more likely my brain was just not working .

The last obsidian game I played, Tyranny, turns to absolute crap halfway through
