Hasbro is very safe. They see something that works once, they will milk it endlessly.
Do you understand how a quote works? Did I quote what they said? I was paraphrasing. Hence no quotation marks. The fact that you have to put quotation marks on my sentence without changing the "they" to "we" alone makes it clear how disingenuous you're being, that quote no longer makes sense. Why would they refer to themselves as "they"?
Let's just cut through the bullshit: Do you really think that people thinking the firing of WotC's staff that helped make the project happen could possibly be one of the reasons Larian doesn't want to work with WotC anymore is a "conspiracy theory"? Or are you just trying to be condescending and talking down on people you disagree with?
Both of these points have a ground of truth, but it's not so simple.
I wonder if half of this forum is even aware that WotC pissed off a lot of people early last year by trying to overhaul the OGL as a means to give them legal ownership of all third party content created thereafter. BG3's success went a long way towards drawing attention away from that.
Based on some of the reception I got ITT, I doubt it lol. They also likely missed the fact that some Larian people have called out WotC's layoffs on social media. Yes, Larian said good things about their partnership and they likely parted in good terms. But it doesn't mean there couldn't have been other reasons for Larian to decide not to work with them anymore.
Those characters appear in other WotC products. They were in Magic the Gathering around the same time early access happened. WotC wouldnt do that if they didnt own it completely. Larian wanted to work on BG and knew what that meant. Also vampire elves are not exactly some new thing.
Not sure why people are saying Bioware, when they have their own fantasy RPG that would probably make better use of development resources.
