  If I read between the lines I hear " We are going to try to milk this new cash cow"

    I thought it was like: we found out it can be profitable to take the time to make a high quality product. At least when Larian is doing it.

      I really hope you’re right

      Also be fine if Larian just goes with Pathfinder or their own IP next time. Hasbro can fuck right off.

        I would love Divinity: Original Sin 3 and hope they will make it!

      I read it this way as well. Even if I didn’t trust Larian as a company (I do), it’s pretty clear that taking the time to make a high quality product worked out really well for them.

      Considering there were rumored to be several games in the pipeline that all got scrapped at the beginning of last year, I think you’re right. Dark Alliance didn’t do great so I’m sure the execs freaked out.

      Hopefully you’re right about the message they received.

        I am shocked to hear that an unfinished game didn’t do great

    I mean Lego finally came out with an official DnD Lego set that looks awesome.

    I know others have used Legos as minis and battlemaps, but I think it’s cool that they’re officially acknowledging it.

  Lmao I honestly so hard at this, but honestly they were probably thinking “what’s the lowest fucking bar we have here?” And instead this success told them that a little more investment might actually have better returns
