Comment on Hasbro exec says Baldur's Gate 3 "proved for us that people really wanted great D&D games," supports Larian's plan to "take the time we need"

  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

        What are you talking about? Dungeons and Dragons: Dark Alliance was a whole ass game. It got kind of shitty reviews (currently sitting at 50% on Steam, 4/10 on IGN, 53% on metacritic).

  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.
