I remember reading an article saying they want their next project to be smaller in scale. I think they put a lot of love in BG3, but from what I've seen it seems like they don't want to stay "The BG guys." It'd be nice, and probably the scale they appreciate, if they returned to that Divinity Tactical RPG they were working on, the one that looked like Fire Emblem with D:OS characters and Beast had a blunderbuss. BG3 forced them to put that on indefinite hiatus

Without saying any spoilers, I think the game needs an Epilogue or something to do after the main story is over.

I think it'd be cool if they add an Avernus section to the base game for free (especially if it was indeed cut content), have it mesh well enough with the game and Karlach's story, but ALSO do their expansion through the Hells (not just Avernus?). Carry our character forward or maybe let us use a new one, adjust the Mindflayer options so its not so pushy we uh... can that thing we can do with that in Act 3, but get our more triumphant or poetic end, while having bigger doors open for what a BG4 could be. Act 4 in Hell(s) just sounds hot. Avernus can be added to the base game as a test - it wouldn't be just there for nothing, but an introduction to mechanics and concepts they'll put in the expansion.

An actual epilogue for BG3 would be nice.

@nikidelvalle

So here's a thought... Neverwinter Nights 3 already exists, it's called Solasta Crown of the Magister. The thing is, Neverwinter Nights was never really a game, it was a platform for people to create their own content. That role is now more than adequately filled by the amazing tools offered by Solasta's Dungeon Maker mode and the modding tools that have been released which expands its usability. Also, if Larian were to make Neverwinter Nights 3, what are the chances they'll end up making the same mistake Obsidian made on an even larger scale? What are the chances that instead of prioritizing a game that's easy for your average joe to make content for, they just use all the stuff they already made for Baldur's Gate 3? Neverwinter Nights 3 doesn't need some complex cutscene tool meant for mocapped footage and voice acting, super high-fidelity graphics, and a focus on open world zones. It needs to have tools that make it incredibly easy for average people to make modular, bespoke content leveraging the mechanical framework of D&D... which is exactly what Solasta does. It even carries on the legacy of Neverwinter Nights by having a really boring main campaign that comes across more as a template for other people to emulate than anything legitimately creative. I will say that Solasta's tools could still do more (and especially they could be backed by the actual license), but that's why we should encourage them to make a sequel with even more comprehensive tools.

You do have a point there, I'll admit. The thing that made Neverwinter Nights special was the Aurora toolset.

What I can say is that what Solasta does is very impressive and in ways I can almost guarantee are better in some ways than they were back in the day. Solasta's mapping tool is amazing, the implementation of 5E's mechanics is extremely loyal, it has a fully featured system for dialogue and linking together modules to create campaigns, it has a huge catalogue of monsters to draw from complimented by even more added by modders who have done a wonderful job expanding the tool even further. I don't think the community has even fully explored the possibilities of the toolset yet, but as the games popularity grows over the course of TA's future projects I'm sure we're going to see them shine more and more. And I hope that the tool keeps being developed, as I said before hopefully in a sequel. Because IMO, if anyone's going to make Neverwinter Nights 3, it's Tactical Adventures.

You know something I've noticed since I started my second run, a lot of the lacking amount of interactions is just bugs, missing content triggers, dialogue getting overwritten by progressing too fast (especially as it concerns increasing approval), etc. On this run I have been very careful to talk to every character whenever I even think they might have a new dialogue and truly going over every part of the map with a fine-tooth comb, and I am realizing I missed an absolute mountain of dialogue. Just in Act 1 so far, 50%+ of the dialogue from Astarion is dialogue I've never even heard before (because on the first run I completely missed the Putrid Bog), I discovered new conversations you can have with your companions that the game doesn't say is there when it triggers (such as after you encounter Raphael for the first time, all of the companions update with a long conversation about their own reactions), and long resting more often has led to more new camp scenes that I didn't even see in my first playthrough. Even in the first playthrough I saw a bunch of points where I very obviously missed dialogue. On my first run I missed out on every single companion's initial reaction to the dream guardian's first appearance, because by the time I talked to them I had already triggered the second scene with the guardian and it replaces that initial dialogue with something completely new. I really hope even more than them adding content, they actually make sure you're seeing all of the content that *is* there.

Speaking of by the way, I've been playing with the mod "Approval Tweaks", it's been really helping me see a lot more companion dialogue on my second run. I have been a little sad about how it makes the companions a bit more initially hostile but it really helps pace out their content better.

I actually would prefer for more polish now and maybe more interactions for classes/races in certain situations (like warlock patrons/cleric gods actually impacting some encounters instead of flavor text) and the game definetly needs an epilogue like mass effect/dragon age that kinda shows how the world spins withthe descisions you made along the way.

In the lore they only hail from one specific Island I believe and even then there are only a very small handful of them that even exist. If I remember correctly that class was really designed for an Eberron setting which would admittedly be a pretty banging next game for Larian.

If I was making bets, then I'd say Larian's next step is Baldur's Gate 3 Definitive Edition and then Divinity Original Sin 3. That's very disappointing to me though. I'd really love a nice, old school expansion for Baldur's Gate 3... and honestly Divinity Fallen Heroes sounded like such a cool concept and I'm sad they didn't consider putting another developer on the job. Not that I won't be excited for what I think Larian will do, but it just feels like there's a lot of unexplored potential here. On the plus side, I really think Baldur's Gate 3 shows a lot of growth from Larian as a studio (especially in the areas of worldbuilding and characters), so I'd be very hyped for Divinity Original Sin 3 just so I finally could have a Divinity game I can say I like without huge reservations/caveats.

I would personally love a short campaign separate from our Tav story if they were gonna make dlc. Like have a smaller team use a lot of the assets already available and craft a mini campaign (maybe 20 hours) with a good amount of reactivity set in a different location, maybe have it be a lvl 5-12 campaign to give us a bit of a power boost at the start to alleviate the pain of starting a new character and make leveling feel faster, perhaps have some more difficult bosses and encounters to make up for the power boost at the start. I feel like giving the team freedom from the restraints of the main story can give us a new vibe altogether. There are so many forgotten realms locations they could craft a short campaign in.

Hope they do an enhanced edition where they rework the ending and maybe a little of act 3 more broadly. Especially as it comes to companion interaction. In the first 2 acts it felt like my companions were responding to everything I did, whereas the 3rd act they were all crickets outside of their personal quests (which even then, half of them felt like their personal quests basically were resolved in act 2, Shadowheart and Gale for instance 3rd act personal quest felt a little tacked on.)

Hm... In terms of adding things into BG3 for a Definitive Edition, they could probably squeak in an extra subclass option or two, toss in a few spells from sources other than the PHB, grant new forms for Wildshape, and do another pass through the Feats to see if there is anything worth adding.

Hopefully additional sub-class and feat options

Great content as usual! I have nothing but respect and admiration for Larian dedication for fixing and improving their games. I hope that the BG franchise is just the beginning and they can take the reins of some other popular rpg franchises in the near future.

For future new title project, I would love Larian to tackle new genre aside from high fantasy while still in the same TBS CRPG system, maybe something from different series of games/shows/TTRPGs. For example they could tackle sci fi mecha TTRPG like Lancer or maybe something more recognizable like DUNE series. Better yet, something rather controversial if Larian actually get to make a proper return of Fallout in its TBS CRPG platform. Other unique choice would be Vampire The Masquerade series, especially I really think Larian writing style totally fit such series.

It would be cool to see them do an original title set in the Forgotten Realms.

Remastering their other games up to BG3 standard would be good, adding to BG3 with more quests and adventures without increasing the level cap would be fine ala Tales of the Sword Coast for BG1. AND well they could always tackle Icewind Dale 3 and keep the level 12 cap.

I’d love to see what they could do with a game set in the Warhammer Fantasy universe. Such a big world with so much depth would present a lot of opportunities. Also, a game set in the Exandria setting from Critical Role would be really neat to see too. I think I saw somewhere that the CR cast has been interested in seeing a video game adaptation for some time.

If they do end up doing an expansion, instead of raising the level cap they could instead expand sideways with more subclasses, new areas to explore that provide additional alternate paths to take going through the storyline, more NPCs that can potentially be recruited as companions, etc. It would help take an already amazing game and transform it into an even more epic experience.

More divinity would be the most hype option for me. My preference is for the mechanics of combat in dos2, but I'd like to see them try to incorporate some of the traversal and map design work they've got in bg3. The cutscene style is great but I feel like it adds so much to the workload that they'd have to scale back the actual dialogue options of dos2, which I think still had a wider range of choices than bg3. Either way Larian has my confidence until proven untrustworthy, so I'll look forward to whatever they get up to.

If they added a map builder like in Neverwinter Nights allowing for custom campaign creation, BG3 would live forever and be regarded as one of the best video games ever made.

It seems crazy to me that after all the work they put into the system and making it work they wouldn't just do another story in Faerun or another property. We don't need to go past level 12, but we could easily have different plots in different parts of the world (or greyhawk, or ravenloft, or Dark Sun.) They have the system down, they just need to have a few different story modules to pump out.

There also has to be SOME middle ground between Lv 12 and the near godly Lv 18-20. They moved the Lv cap from 10 to 12 internally, they could surely find a way to bring it to around 14-15.

An expansion would have to take into account all the thousands of minor and major decisions you make during the original three acts... this alone makes any sort of expansion a massive challenge from a narrative and technical perspective.

they just need to put a npc that you talk to in the game and he takes you by boat or something else to the new dlc like for example a dlc in waterdeep or neverwinter with a brand new map unrelated to the base game

@@sanderkiki Certain choices in the end of BG3 won't matter so much if you take the story multiplanar/hells and most things out there are your enemy anyway, instead of often an ally on the Physical Plane. They don't have as much obligation to make you (more easily) a wandering hero adventurer. Also there could be some story twist that softens up your... squishy situation you might be in. I don't know what that'd be, but I wouldn't be opposed to a first portion of an expansion that acts as 'are you SURE you want to be in the form of X? last chance! we can fix you!' then you let the chips fall.

I'd love an expansion that focuses on some more freeform multiplayer stuff, level 20, high level spells, more mod support.

I'd like to see them really open up their system to modders, work with good mod submissions to develop content with them (help them with cutscenes, etc.), and then do a revenue share with those mods. So, as with regular D&D, you end up with lots of different dungeons / scenarios that you can play through.

With how much work went into getting the d&d 5E rules and spells into a computer game, I'd be very happy for more stories to be added as paid expansions and/or DLC.

It'd be interesting to see Larian work on Shadowrun. That would truly be a masterpiece. Wouldn't mind seeing Divinity 3 although I don't particularly like that universe idk why. Definitly would enjoy BG3 DLC's, there are a lot of subclasses and stuff that can be added, but I don't think we'll be getting levels 13-20, most likely a wholly new campaign with new classes\ subclasses on top.

One article I read from Swen a month or so ago, he said something like "well we are a development studio, so we know what we want to do next", which I was kind of surprised about! He also said, they want to work on something smaller and not spend 6 years on any one thing. They floated the idea of working on a couple of projects simultaneously, they also talked about downsizing cause they are a bit bigger than they want to be. I can understand that, size can be risky, but it also sucks for anyone who gets laid off... all that said, we will see what they do. I think they might do Divinity 3, which he guaranteed they would be heading back to... and maybe a new IP. They like to be creative and try new things... so with the success of this game, they might see it as time to take a gamble and try something new that they have been thinking about. However, don't expect any announcements for a while. He also said that he is wary of announcing anything too early, cause he doesn't like to announce cancellations... so it might be another 2 years or so before we find out what they are up to. Power to 'em!

They could also divest some of their international arms rather than simply laying them off. There are now 7(?) established teams who are experienced and have a good workflow so you COULD actually just sell one or two.

Maybe an official mod tool because there are some amazing mod makers out there. I'm remembering all of the modules created for Neverwinter Nights 2. The community could keep this game relevant for years.

It sounds like they will be getting mod tools / mod support out there eventually!

I'd like them to remake the Dragon Knight Saga, but this time incorporating the lore and story of DOS2. Swen's original vision for the DKS was much broader than what they ended up with due to financial constraints from the publisher at the time. I don't see Larian trying to do an action RPG-style game now that they are so good at turn-based games, and so I could see them remaking the DKS as a turn-based game, but this time with a much larger world and story involving all the races rather than just humans, which again was a choice they made due to financial constraints.

I've loved Larian Studios since the day I played Divinity 2 OS. I don't know what they'll do next but I know that they'll be just as passionate about that project as they were with their previous games. I hope all the staff at Larian get to take a nice relaxing vacation and continue to deliver their fun and amazing games its crazy how many people want to just throw their money at the studio lol

I personally would like to see a couple new subclasses (plus maybe artificer?) and i know it'd be a LOT of work considering it doesnt exist but i'd love a post game sort of slideshow with the choices you made and a little narration of their consequences especially for your companions. (SPOILERS AHEAD) it'd be nice to have a witcher series type thing with like a little illustration and the narrator saying something like "you chose to save the druids and rescue halsin so here is how the new archdruid francesca leads emerald grove to whatever type of future" for example. i feel it'd just tie a bow in the end of the story cause it felt a teeny bit abrupt

I like how you said "That's no real suprise" while attacking with Shadowheart and her missing her attack at 01:15

I could imagine them going for a palette cleanser away from the CRPG genre. Divine Divinity was kind of an ARPG so maybe they'll make something like that, and on the smaller scale since they have said that they don't want to dive into another multi-year mammoth project. I just hope that this building anticipation and pressure to deliver games at the standard they set doesn't feel stifling to them.

Thanks Mroty son. Really excited for their next title, whatever and whenever that comes ! Would have loved more BG3 content but I think they have dropped enough hints that it won't be the case. A divinity game to the same level as BG3 would be great but they said smaller projects are what they are looking at, so not sure what we'll get.

I'm really hoping they add in a dungeon master mode like they had in divinity OS2. It'd be one of the easiest ways to play DnD remotely with your friends.

I think it will DoS3 because there was something I watched with Sven where he said he wasnt a young chicken anymore. While he was so grateful for getting to tackle and succeed at BG, I would bet he wants maybe HIS series to be his final.

BG3 Definitive Edition - restores cut content, flushes out the ending (adding in a part of the "cut" city). Flushes out a few particular companion quests that are skimped on.

I would like it to be something similar in a more contemporary setting. Like Shadowrun or Vampire: The Masquerade.

I certainly would love to have a few DLC with races maybe artificer. A classic old school exspansion maybe? :o

IIRC they also said they'll be able to work on two projects at once, so I really hope they'll do both something new in the Divinity franchise AND another D&D game, be it BG4, a sequel to one of the old infinity engine games (hell, even a BG1&2 remake would be cool, if unlikely), something completely new in a different setting (Ravenloft/ Eberron / whatever). It would make sense too, they have the tech ready for both, and I'm guessing it would be relatively easy at this point for Larian to obtain the rights for another game from WotC.

keep it going bro!!! Love your content!!!

I dont have a reference for this but he did say in an interview that their next project will most likely be a smaller project compared to BG3

I'd love to see Larian take up a Pathfinder adventure!

@FunctionallyLiteratePerson

Yes!! Other systems would be awesome

I want to see them try an Eberron game with the mechanical systems they developed here, it'd be really cool to see them expand upon it. They did a lot of work to convert 5e to this, and I'd love to see it applied to a new setting.

I hope they put in something like the Rogue-like dungeoncrawler mode, similar to how Pathfinder Kingmaker did. It'd give the game a huge amount of replayability for me, because for now, while I do want to try out the other classes with my friends and see how they work, I dont want to go through the story again so soon. Being able to just group up with 3 other friends and go deeper and deeper into a randomly generated dungeon, getting loot and levelling up with no story sounds very fun in this game. I liked the mode in Kingmaker, but I prefer D&D 5e's combat and Larians' devoted Turn Based mode more, as opposed to the half active time combat Kingmaker had and the more mathematical build approach Kingmkaer relied on. No idea if they will put it in but I really hope so. Would also make the release of new classes/subclasses and races more entertaining for somebody like me too, cause I could take them into that Dungeon rather then starting the story all over again.

Back when Baldur's Gate was initially being announced all those years ago, Vincke mentioned that his favourite D&D campaign setting was Dark Sun. Perhaps they'll revisit that long abandoned D&D campaign setting. Pretty sure Wizards of the Coast wouldn't say no to licensing the IP to Larian to make another D&D computer game.

Aside from Baldurs Gate, I would love to see a game made by them of other systems, e.g. pf2e (especially after the remaster). Distancing themselves from microtransactions, season passes, et cetera has really impressed me and would really love to see the amount of care they put in this game into other ones.

I’d love to see Larian take on a post apocalypse or space RPG. They’ve done so much for the fantasy space and I’d love to see that applied to other RPG genres. Maybe an IP like Starstruck, if there are any D20 fans out there.

Dark sun and space jammer? Hell yeah!

I know they are already making it with Rogue Trader. But a Warhammer Fantasy CRPG, at the level that Larian has made them. Would be absolutely amazing. Imagine having the Ubersreik Five as your origin characters. It would be a good change of pace because there wouldn't be any romantic focus, just pure british banter and some amazing combat and visuals. They used such a huge IP like D&D to bounce off to create something amazing. Warhammer would have similar effect with the diversity of areas, creatures, main characters, storylines, etc etc.

I'd love a follow-up video to your "RPG of the Decade" thing later when we have a more concrete idea of BG3's sales numbers and overall impact. If BG3 ends up winning GOTY then maybe other devs interested in D&D style games or CRPGs find it easier to pitch their projects. Then again it might be hard to communicate what's so similar about something like BG3 and Pillars 3 because on the surface of it everything is so radically different.

More races, subclasses, and companions please.

Id personally love some more features to camp - maybe the ability to adopt a tiefling child orphan, decorate the camp a little, adopt the cat from Last Light or Moonrise, etc. I also got called sir or saer a lot as woman MC in the third act and Id like to see that fixed as it was immersion breaking. Some choice specific slides for an epilogue would also be appreciated for a final polish to the ending. If they did DLC, delving deeper into Avernus and its inhabitants / the ruins of Elturel would be incredible.

The thing is because it's DND related I want more content. More races, subclasses, maybe artificer class. More spells. Like story content wise that's fine. This game is so replayable that I want some of my fav things. Genasi, artificer, etc

They'll most likely do more divinity, but to be honest from a business standpoint, them not making more DnD stuff would be pretty cray

Other than obvious QoL changes such as easier party and inventory management, I really hope we get some updates to companions. Both more companions, like for instance Alfira the Bard or Sazza the goblin to cover different classes/races, but I also wish the game had more party banter a la Dragon Age: Origins and more companion quests. Some, like Karlach, feel pretty weak. Other than that, they're said they're working on giving the community official modding tools, so even if we never see new campaigns as expansions, I'm sure the community will be able to keep this game alive for a long time. Would be cool if they could remaster BG1 and 2 as separate campaigns in BG3 but that's pretty unlikely I'd say.

I'd love to see them do an original sci-fi CRPG.

The CEO of larian studio said he wanted to branch out to smaller games for the time being. Understandable after all the hard work they've done for 6 years on Baldur's gate 3. As for what type of game I would like to see from them, it depends. I am not such a big fan of divnity orignal sin, specifically the system that they used. I would prefer a DnD system myself. I would love a RPG game that takes place exclusively in the city of waterdeep and that delves more on the political intrigue ( I am a big fan of the board game Lords of Waterdeep). Not that I would mind combat but the 'chess games' played by the major character in waterdeep is something that has not been explored yet and could be more 'contained' in scope compared to the massive bg3. That's something that could work and might require far less time on development, especially if they can take advantage of the engine they created for BG3 for that.

I know this is a bit out there but I'd like to see them try their hands at a different setting other than fantasy.

It's kind of ironic that what makes BG3 so great is the same thing that makes expansions/DLC that's usually easy to do a lot harder. Additional race/class? Well, now you need a ton of reactivity to that class so it's properly integrated which means that you need all those voice artists back to add a couple lines each. Everything is so interwoven that you can't really stick something additional in between without massive effort. And tacking something onto the end of a well-crafted story is always tough. The only thing I could see is a prelude - what were the origin characters up to before they got captured and tadpoled. With the way the reset to level 1 via parasite was explained, we can get short stories on multiple different level ranges. Ok, could someone pitch this to Larian, I'm falling in love with the idea.

If they're going to do more than re-add cut content, yes that probably means going all into the project that in some ways doesn't work so easily. Its not impossible if they want to support the game 2-4 years further, but they likely only want to do 1-2 years max with the way they're phrasing things currently.

I am ready for Larian's epic space opera next.

I hope they get to branch off and do whatever they want after all this, but I also really really want them to make 1 or 2 of the adventure modules in BG3 style. Curse of Strahd, Tomb of Annihilation, or Waterdeep: Dragon Heist.

I agree but I also think Lv 14-15 isn't necessarily impossible. If no expansion pack, then sure, more subclasses, artificer, maybe even companions and adding to stories of current ones. If yes expansion pack, I wouldn't mind seeing their approach to some higher levels, even if not Lv 20 or something.

I would really like to see Larian do more D&D games based around pre-existing modules. Weather it's a sequel to a campaign like BG3 is (Maybe like Barovia after Starhd's defeat, or full campaign in Chult after ToA. Or just their take on a pre-existing campaign.

I would be fine with just more companions added to give more variety during replays. It was one of my favorite aspects of the BG1 & 2 remasters.

i'd be more than happy with more customization (more spells, classes & race, faces, weight options) for bg3, but honestly the game has been amazing! main priority in my opinion would be having the issues addressed (for me & my friend's playthrough, it has been buggy with framerate drops, random crashes, advantage not workin on checks & other bugs)

Am I the only one who remembers that modders take an amazing game and turn it into a god-tier one? I'm waiting to see hilarious mod videos at the very least, and game-defining ones that completely transform our already-positive perspective of the game outright.

Larian Studio's developers deserve a raise and a rest!

I'd like to see them organize into a number of smaller teams and work on a number of new and different IPs, instead of another game on BG3 scale. They've the money and people to do it. Expansions to BG3, in my world, would be given to either inXile or Obsidian. I'd be super excited to see whatever ideas either would bring to that specific series.

I really want the endings flushed out a bit and that’s basically my only complaint. I want to be able to walk around and talk to the people depending on the ending I took in a small area or even the city depending on what ending you took. I think it’d be pretty cool and tie up a lot of the loose ends that were left off

I think another question that might be worth entertaining is what's next for BG/CRPGs. This has been a huge title. AAA isn't going to miss out on their own iterations. Every studio that can, will oversaturate the market with their own versions. Onward to 300k. All glory to the algorithm.

I would love to see Larian take on a sci fi game, same turn based deep dive player choice RPG. If they made a sci fi RPG set in the battletech universe, that would be Awesome. (pun intended)

Main thing I want is polish. Maybe some subclasses and races, wouldn’t be mad at a DM mode like they had in divinity. What I think would be cool is if the dlc they release was actual modules, being able to play tomb of annihilation or curse of strahd would be so cool.
