I hope Larian Stusios will buy this IP, rehire the original writers and so great things with it.
We really need to stop shoving every story related property into Larian's lap.
Ehhh I don't think Larians quite up to the task. Yeah BG3 has an engaging story and some good characters, but politically it doesn't really have anything to say outside of some queer representation. It's the Sunday Friend's favorite new RPG!
Yeah playing DnD isn't some blow against the right-wing theocracy establishment like it was in the 1980's.
Source: Was never allowed to play DnD as a kid because it was 'Satanic.' Grew up during 80's Satanic Panic.
Plus I don't think Disco E really needs flammable/steamable puddles everywhere.
Doesn't it?
Well, when you put it that way...
Mr. Evrart is helping me find my red barrel.

Well that’s why they need to hire the original writers. I don’t think anybody would consider Baldurs Gate especially political, maybe expect for a few fringe right wingers. But Larian have the resources, technical expertise and know how to build a big RPG and if they bought the IP, I’m sure they would respect the source material. You wouldn’t want to make a Disco Elysium game if you where to afraid to get political.
No, because that still gives these assholes money. I hope someone hires the original team to make something new.
