Will more races and classes arrive as DLCs in future updates as a free update or never come at all?

Mods are your best bet here.

No as a no, not at all, never, not happening etc

BG3 is based on D&D 5 so all the races and classes are already in. They won’t break the rules to add random races that aren’t in the book.

It’s 100% no

There are other races in D&D 5e.

might one ask why? I mean I understand that it might be difficult to fit facial expressions onto a tabaxi but if they release it as paid DLCs I can see a lot of people going for it.

I mean they got to draw the line somewhere

I feel like maybe some Spelljammer content would be cool DLC in the future because it fits with the GIthyanki stuff but I very much doubt it'll ever happen

because its a lot of work for minimal payout - we live in a capitalist society and the cost/return ratio is just not there

Because this company doesn’t do DLCs in general , they also said at the start that doing a DLC would be difficult .

They are already working on divinity 3 so zero hints about DLCs meaning we won’t get any.

Compare this with Diablo 4 where blizzard said from the start that at least 2 DLCa are planned .

In BG3 they said the opposite that they probably won’t do any DLC let alone in 6-12 months as you asked.

Even if they get priced in and do one it will be like 2 year’s minimum and that’s the best case scenario

I am not convinced. But sure.

Larian is old school, they finish a project and move on. No mtx, no dlc, a feature complete and finished game from the moment it is launched (barring bugfixing and similar support).

This is a good thing in my opinion, far better than what the gaming industry has been doing over the last decade or two. Just look at paradox style games (just one example), where they launch a bland game that requires (pre-planned, so they leave stuff out of launch) dlc to get to a point where it is playable, never mind good.

What I know of Larian, they won't do DLCs. They work on a game, release it and start developing their next game. There is the possibility that there will be "Enhanced edition" or similar with some small features, but I wouldn't expect more classes or races or anything like that.
