I'm sure WotC firing the people responsible for getting Larian onboard for BG3 in the first place had nothing to do with it at all, no sirNot true at all, Larian has said like 15 times they just wanted to make their own IP and game and that they had nothing but positive things to say about working with the D&D license.
Of course everyone keeps playing that up as some sort of lie, despite Larians head being about the most up front blunt person I have ever heard speak lol
Aside from Owlcat and Obsidian, can't really think of who would have both the desire and capability of trying to follow up BG3.
Leave it alone and make a different RPG. There's so many different settings for D&D. Use Spelljammer.
I haven't followed the studio that closely, but I recall Larian speaking fondly of their partnership with WotC at one point in an interview and the decision to not do a sequel to Baldur's Gate or any DLC for the game was their own. Never heard of a feud between Larian and WotC.They done fucked up their relationship with Larian, those stupid fuckheads
That's because Larian's a class act. But everyone saw this coming when the news broke about the firing.I haven't followed the studio that closely, but I recall Larian speaking fondly of their partnership with WotC at one point in an interview and the decision to not do a sequel to Baldur's Gate or any DLC for the game was their own.

Like I said, I'm sure WotC firing the people who were originally responsible for bringing Larian in had nothing to do with it, definitely not.
Folks are trying to will this into existence and there's no real good reason to HOPE Larian was treated poorly. They've been told explicitly no this isn't actually the case but they hold on to that hope anyway.I haven't followed the studio that closely, but I recall Larian speaking fondly of their partnership with WotC at one point in an interview and the decision to not do a sequel to Baldur's Gate or any DLC for the game was their own.

This is a gross misframing of things--no one was saying Larian was treated poorly.Folks are trying to will this into existent and there's no real good reason to HOPE Larian was treated poorly. They've been told explicitly no this isn't actually the case but they hold on to that hope anyway.
It was so easy. Give Larian money to make "Dungeons and Dragons the game". Same engine, allow a dungeon master or group to create the dungeons using tools to piece together your own stories. Drop on enemies, loot, traps, ECT using modular assets created by Larian. Similar to Mario Maker. Publish your "campaign" online, allow groups of friends or strangers to play countless dungeons and dragons campaigns. Huge profit. But, you fucked it up. Oh well

I swear some people will defend corporate fuckups no matter what. This is the WotC. Do people need a reminder of their litany of greedy, awful decisions just in recent years?
If you say so, I guess.Well, we have what Larian has actually said (which not only includes positive comments about working with WotC but also repeatedly stating that they want to do their own thing next) and then we have the narrative you've created in your head.
But yes, it's "defending corporate fuckups" if we decide to point out that what you're saying is almost completely baseless.
Yep.
Isn't Harebrained dead?
Not no one, didn't say you yourself did. Plenty in previous threads.This is a gross misframing of things--no one was saying Larian was treated poorly.
I guess that's fair.Not no one, didn't say you yourself did. Plenty in previous threads.
They were hit by layoffs under Paradox and then went independent again.
There's a lot of great CRPG studios out there but how many can make them with the production value and visuals of BG3?

Like I said, it's one thing to want to work on something else next, it's another to say they won't ever work with the IP anymore.
they dont have the money, or reputation t raise it thart larain had.
