It would actually be incredibly easy to make a game better than BG3 if you were allowed to use literally any system other than 5E.
Make it an extraction shooter
In the time it takes to one-up BG3 the mainstream/AAA gaming industry will be dead anyway.
I wonder if Larian would be willing to license out the Divinity engine and associated tools. If not, BG4 is going to have to be remade from the ground up.
Who else is even making CRPGs these days? Owlcat? They worked for Hasbro’s direct competition in Pathfinder and are now busy making infinite money from 40k properties.
Baldur’s Gate 4 by Spiderweb Software lmao
Just increase the size of the studio by 25000% and we have the next hit on our hands, I assure you.
The Rockstar formula
Honestly not sure if another studio could benefit as much from the Divinity engine.
I think Owlcat do better writing and they’re certainly experienced enough, but they probably wouldn’t want to try and replicate the absurd moment-by-moment permutations Larian attempted - and having to do voice lines for everything would suuuuuuck. If they did do BG4 it’d be much closer to BG2, a good game (albeit forced to be in 5e Faerun, blech), but not at all the clone of the IconicTM Franchise Now With More Bear Sex that the ghouls of Hasbro demand.
Damn, Hasbro are such a bunch of weincompetent parasites. Can’t even do a good job exploiting the customers they hold such contempt for. Always have been, but the thoughtless arrogance to jettison the BG liaison team and lose Larian’s trust…
I’m so happy they got their hit and can keep making Divinity. I have only played DOS2 but I loved it. also loved bg3 still not done game too long
do a fallout and make it a first-person shooter. if you know you can’t complete the assignment do something completely the fuck else
Fuck it, I’ll make Baldur’s Gate 4
There’s a reason nobody with other options is willing to work for Wizbros
