This is what I am hearing endlessly about why Baldur’s Gate 3 is a success. I say that’s a crock of shit sold by bad companies and developers and an insult to Larians hard work.

These are the things for my opinion:

  • They have 20 years of experience making CRPGS with the Divinity series
  • They do Early Access to test and perfect their systems
  • The listen to customer feedback and distill the good from the bad, ending up with a better product
  • They don’t insult their customers and respect them
  • No microtransactions or Day 1 DLC, or mention of upcoming DLC and Season Pass
  • They hire Writers, Composers and Developers BASED ON MERIT!
  • You can see the love they put in the games from the Panels from Hell and social media

I am sure there are many more things that add to their success but random chance and luck is not the reason; hard work, dedication and good management is!

Just a little rant and pet peave I wanted to get off my chest.

    Imo having a good early access is what made the game incredible. They listened to player complaints and polished the game which lead to a positive experience with barely any bugs at launch.
