I wasn’t a fan of a number of choices they made in their RPG systems in the Original Sin games, so until we see what their next game is, I’ll wonder how much of the heavy lifting done in BG3 was due to D&D rather than their designers. Still, BG3 knocked basically everything out of the park, so even a lesser RPG from this team will still likely be great. It would be nice to have the CRPG equivalent of Starfield from Larian, since most sci-fi RPGs tend to stick to the post-apocalypse.

This game is so good. I hope Larian builds something even better for their next go.

Did you like rogue trader at all?
ampersandrew@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I haven’t played it, but it’s on my list. A very long list. And Rogue Trader is 40k, right? Meaning fantasy trappings but in space? That can also be fine, but I appreciated Starfield’s setting for sticking to harder sci-fi tropes, like its obvious inspiration of Interstellar.

Yes it’s 40k, but it’s more like original sin in terms of gameplay kind of. Pretty good, nothing to be bummed about it if you don’t play it at all though. Personal take.

While we’re here, !crpg@lemmy.world definitely could use some love (and by love I mean posters).

Oh man, imagine if they did a Shadowrun game. Take their fantasy credentials/writing and mix it with cyberpunk…
clonedhuman@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Now I’m imagining this too.

They seem to love writing cities and fantasy-tech too, going by some of the stuff in BG3.
Looks like Shadowrun’s licensing is a complicated mess though, with Microsoft at least involved, so I guess it’s unlikely :(
