I read it this way as well. Even if I didn’t trust Larian as a company (I do), it’s pretty clear that taking the time to make a high quality product worked out really well for them.
Considering there were rumored to be several games in the pipeline that all got scrapped at the beginning of last year, I think you’re right. Dark Alliance didn’t do great so I’m sure the execs freaked out.
Hopefully you’re right about the message they received.
Lmao I honestly so hard at this, but honestly they were probably thinking “what’s the lowest fucking bar we have here?” And instead this success told them that a little more investment might actually have better returns
…did they think people wanted bad d&d games? Of course people want great games of their favorite hobby, what does this even mean
If I read between the lines I hear " We are going to try to milk this new cash cow"
I thought it was like: we found out it can be profitable to take the time to make a high quality product. At least when Larian is doing it.
I really hope you’re right
Also be fine if Larian just goes with Pathfinder or their own IP next time. Hasbro can fuck right off.
Agreed, I hope they will make Divinity: Original Sin 3 next!

I mean Lego finally came out with an official DnD Lego set that looks awesome.
I know others have used Legos as minis and battlemaps, but I think it’s cool that they’re officially acknowledging it.
