Okay we can't keep having to go accept these rewards, it's wrecking our production flow. So we hired Larry here to be our official award acceptance guy. Oh and those new shelves have been finished so we'll be getting all the trophies out of the break room by tomorrow.
First name: Larry
Last name: Ann
Larry actually goes to award ceremonies and says "wow guys, we are so thankful for this award but can't accept it. Like, literally can't. There is no more space to store them, Jim had to give up his office and the cleaning crew is complaining too. So yeah, take this back please"
Could you give us, instead of yet another reward, some competition? Like, any at all? We want to do even better, but have nothing to compete against. Please. We can even pay you (in free trophies, no micro payments needed).
This is the industry's plan to finally catch up to Larian. Sadly, they still haven't figured out what they actually need to be doing with all of that free time though.
And the best part:
Larian isn't going to get shut down by some shitty vulture capital firm which bought up a ton of studios and then killed them all when times got tough.
No you forgot to step or forcing them to develop a crap game with a bunch of micro transactions that no one buys because it's full of micro transactions. Then they shut the studio down for being unproductive, never mind that it was made unproductive by their decisions.

I'm still having so much fun with this game that the lack of DLC hurts my feelings, lol! I'm just amazed they didn't give Larian a blank check to do anything DLC wise once the awards kept flooding in.
Oh, they definitely could have done DLC. But they didn't want to. They just didn't feel like it. And I think this shows how great this studio is. Instead of making a shit-ton of money with some mediocre DLC they instead opted to follow their passion.
I think any DLC would have been far from mediocre. Given how much post release support they've done, I have no doubt DLC would have been stellar. But that's my point, the passion for the core game is so clear! But I'm excited to see what the mod community can do with good tools.
Might just be my opinion, but DLC in this game would've had to be what we used to know as an expansion pack. Think Age of Empires games where the expansions added completely standalone campaigns.
Im currently on my 3rd playthrough once I found out you can recruit Minthara as good guys:X. I learn alot of new things every playthrough.
