Larian's next game? Can we go real-time action?

[Sir.Rocket]

Larian has giving the industry 2 of the best RPG's in the turn-based genre, I'm praying we go real time for the next one, give the industry the sequel to Skyrim we all know Bethesda aren't going to make. Larian are the ones to do it. They actually have good writers.

Whatever they do is whatever they do.

What do I hope they do? Whatever they do.

Will it be good or better if it's one thing or another? We'll see what we'll see.

Reason I think they will try something else is because they didn't want to make BG4 either.
Their team seems to want new challenges now and then.

Yeah, but I think they mean more like a new TB IP...
We know they are working on 2 new titles.
One of them is probably a new DOS title.
The second one I can see them do something more in the Sci-Fi/Steampunk direction.

Edit: They also complained about the dnd ruleset not letting them do what they wanted...so that's most likely the reason they're not doing d&d anymore...

Yeah, myself I would like that Larian use the Shadowrun IP, but when they make that sort of comment it's not feeling credible.

The best would be an IP without any tabletop base this letting the freedom and still exploiting an IP.

For some science fiction, Dune, Foundation or Robots both Asimov, Blade Runner, Battlestar Galactica, Farscape, more. :-)

EDIT:
Clearly not any Fallout after the series using Bethesda base, not Fallout1&2, and with behind Bethesda and Microsoft.

It is not impossible, but hopefully Larian does newer go away from turn based games!

I dream big.

I don't remind Fireaxis ever bothered, I see no reason Larian would.

There's a fair choice of Real Time developer, and it's still possible that Rockstar finally try make a RPG, thah Ubisoft continue grow up in making RPG, that Bethesda come back to Morrowind blueprint or even, miracles happen, achieve make a RPG with procedure generation really fun, and so on.

There's no need of one more.

Also, as it's kinda in the OP a bit hidden...
Open world on it's own is no virtue...there are very, very few games that actually utilize the open world in storytelling, but there are plenty example, where the open world get's in te way of storytelling...
Kinda curious the R* feels the need to tunnel you into closed off areas for missions, or the famous npcs, that won't leave their path...missions failing because you went away to far etc...
A lot of open world games would have most likely profited a lot from a more structured and focussed approach from a storytelling perspective.
And then you have to fill the world with tons and tons of usually mindnumbing windowdressing content...
Nah, I'd prefer Larian not making another one of those open world games, just to tick another box in hteir marketing buzzword list...

Big project is called Excalibur and an "exploratory" project called Sunny. I thought at first the names meant something, but just learned from watching a brief interview that those are just the names of the 2 puppies Sven has.

The interviewer brought a d20 and told Sven to answer the question on what is coming next based on the die roll and he rolled a Nat 1, so no new info was given.

Yeah, just like the build for BG3 is called "Gustavdev".
I'm guessing it will be until 2025 before we hear anything concrete.
