Baldur's Gate 3 devs hope its success pushes other RPGs to get weird: "People can go to a publisher and say, 'Well, look what it f***ing did for them'"
More, please

Developers behind 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Baldur’s Gate 3 hope the game’s success leads to more wei🎀rdness in the RPG space.
Larian Studios’ latest almost needs no introduction following the towering player numbers and fresh game of the year wins at the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Golden Joysticks and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Game Awards. But such mammoth success is normally followed up with mammoth impact - and ꦚLarian’s staff have different hopes for the genre’s future.
. Lead writer Chrystel Ding, on the other hand, reckons it would be “really nice to play a game like this where I don’t know the ending.”Head of production David Walgrave explained: “During the ‘90s, it felt as if turn-based was not cool anymore. When we started ⛄with the Kickstarter for [Divinity: Original Sin] publishers had been telling us for a decade, &♓lsquo;This is never gonna sell.’” That’s an issue that writing director Adam Smith hopes will change, especially after Baldur’s Gate 3’s commercial success.
“I hope [Baldur’s Gate 3] kicks the doors o🥀pen,” Smith says. “If you look at the indie space, RPGs neve༺r went away. People can go to a publisher and say, ‘Well, look what it fucking did for them.”
We certainly won’t see Baldur’s Gate 3’s impact hit for a few years (games don’t come quickly, after all), but we have already heard attitudes toward the genre shift. Obsidian’s Josh Sawyer recently joked about 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox wantiಌng a third Pillar of Eternity ga🌸me following Larian’s success, for example. The RPG veteran is at least open⛎ to the idea, as long as ꦫthe budget matches Larian’s.
