Neverwinter Nights 3, Icewind Dale 3, when are we getting these games?

[neuronfly]

I thought after development of BG3, Larian was gonna work on Neverwinter Nights 3 or Icewind Dale 3. Instead we recently got the news that Larian is never going to work with Hasbro and WOTC ever again, so no more DnD games in the future. What will happen to Neverwinter nights and Icewind dale? Do we have to keep playing those 1999-2002 legacy games for the rest of our lives?

im sure WotC will try to get more videogames going but no clue what studios would do a good job

i'm sure EA would love access to a license to make a DnD game but from how hellish the development of DA4 has been i doubt they(bioware) can handle anything like it any time soon

not sure whats up with obsidian with them doing a TES-like spin off of PoE, but assuming they still got the people who did PoE1/2 in there im sure they could do smth good, as long as said spin-off doesnt cause harm to the studio

I have to admit that I don’t understand the point of remaking old games in new engines.

That just seems like a pandering cash grab.

you answered yourself

Honestly. NwN was one of the games that made me quit CRPG, I played DnD tabletop, so, when BG1-BG2 showed up I was just awed... Loved BG1-2, so was expecting much of NwN, never met the standards of the previous ones... Together with Icewind Dale... Although graphically and mechanically very similar to BG1-BG2 the story was as deep as a puddle on a road... on a sunny day... It was but a giant combat arena, not that there is something wrong with that, but an entire CRPG game built around just combat after combat, well...

I have not confirmed this but I am happy that this is the case.
Larian steered hard to fit general expectations of the community since it has begun but I still think that the story and production aspects of the game were disastrously bad. Let them stay awa from NWN and IWD, the community will lose nothing.

You act as though those 90s and early 2000s games are somehow worse than BG3 lmao.

They're unplayable for lazy people. A good Tetris Attack is still full of fun, Fantasy Zone too.
