Please make more games that are complete, thanks. The whole game + season pass model is annoying. The in game shops are trash. I can't stand battle passes and seasons.

Fuck open up the engine so people can play d&d in it lol

Sadly Hasbro is hoping to make big bucks off the Virtual Table Top they're developing, so I don't think they'd allow that.

Yeah.

We can hope that the mod-tools that are confirmed to be in the works will be open enough that the community can develop something. But I doubt Larian will get the go-ahead to implement actual GM-tools (like in DOS2) for this game.

Every time I open the multiplayer lobby browser the field showing the adventure being played gives me a little punch of hope that there is an editor of some kind in the works

I imagine studios will be rushing to make them off the back of BG3's success. It's better if a game is made in it's own time from passion, rather than trying to cash in on a current trend/genre popularity.

Even with the time they had, you can tell that Act 3 didn't get nearly the love that Act 1 did. I imagine anything done in a rushed manor won't have the charm.

Game should have ended in Act 2, the game does start to fall apart in Act 2 but Act 3 is absolute fucking mess. A shorter more polished experience would have been preferable for sure.

Preach. The Act 2 to Act 3 transition is brutal. >!The BBEG is marching on the city. Better stop to catch a circus act and have ASMR sex with three hookers.!<

Do a Warhammer one, or a Lancer one, or literally any other TTRPG like this and I'm down. I dont even care if its partially a clone as long as the story is this deep. Shit Larian can just do another one up lets go.

Edit: could you imagine a fallout like this? Or a Vampire: Masquerade? Or maybe a Star Wars: EOTE?

40K Rogue Trader is something I’ve had a bit of hope for for a while. Something about 40K videogames never hit right though imo.

Its hard to hit those thematic notes of the setting while also shoving your own story in there. If GW gave me a license I have a soulslike thats perfect for 40k's entry.

Man, I would play the crap out of a Fallout game like BG3. I'd probably play the crap out of any such game, but especially Fallout.

The first few Fallout games were top-down CRPGs

Yeah, but there a big difference between those and BG3. I've tried getting into classical CRPGs before, they don't really work for me.
