    Can they make a dwarf-sized RPG as well? One I can finish, perhaps? Glad to hear they are on their way, though!

    Yeah, maybe we can give them a second chance. Because you know baldurs gate 3 was basically an empty game with no content or no post launch support…

    Right?

    Jokes aside, I’m sure they will do it. They are a fantastic studio.

    I really think that the ‘‘density’’ of BG3 is it’s biggest drawback. Don’t get me wrong, the game is great, but it’s so daunting it’s also kind of a chore. It’s barely playable if you only have 1-2 hours every other day to play because that’s just not enough time to do any real progress on a quest. I honestly wouldn’t be able to enjoy it if I wasn’t on holiday.

      I think most drawbacks of the game are also present in D&D:
      -Combat gets boring and same-y very quickly
      -the time commitment
      -when trying to wrap up all the stories, the game becomes “a chore to finish” and not “a game to enjoy”

      That being said, I still liked the first two acts in BG3. If Honormode wasn’t a thing, I wouldn’t’ve finished.

      I haven’t been able to play it entirely blind, which is a flaw, but it has led me to view this gameplay more as a form of authorship. You save scum and you try again because that’s not the story you’re trying to tell. I don’t save scum games that are less storylike, because the game is traditionally the gameplay. With tabletop RPGs, the story is the game. This is an interesting middle ground.

    I don’t like this kind of ambition. It can only fail. BG3 was already big enough. Just make a game in similar scope and everything would be fine.

    Phrases like:

    I think there is some tech that we don’t have yet,

    And I don’t know what the specs are on the next gen [of gaming systems] yet, but I hope that it’s going to bring us closer.

    Are very discouraging. And this easily could become the next Star Citizen.
