Sad

[Ci(v)ilian]

Man, I'm so sad that we wont be getting any more for this game. Don't get me wrong, I adore it and I think Larian are one of the VERY few good companies that consistently put out, what I would consider, ART.

But I suppose it's for the best. I'd rather a game end on a good note, than keep going and going until it becomes played out or even bad.

Yeah, I'd have loved an expansion, but I can respect that after 5 years of working on the same game, you might just feel burned out and want to do a new thing.
And it's almost always the case with anything creative that people do better work when they genuinely want to be working on what they're doing.

Even tho we are not getting expansion, there is still Patch 7 (that is already being tested by modders picked by Larian)

Evil ending cinematics
Bug fixes and optimizations
And other new features that are yet to be revealed (Who knows maybe some mods will be implemented into base game)

And past that there will probably be Patch 8 with Crossplay and Photo Mode.

So ey, it's not that bad.

Think about it, Rapha - I mean, Hasbro - even fired those who game Larian freedom enough to make this game. It was time to rip that contract to shreds.

The first one should have been in the game at release not added like 1 year later post release. It is a 100 + hour game first playthrough for the average person not even giving a proper ending to one of the 2 choices for an ending the definition of rushed. What to even say there was no actual epilogue at the release either.

The 2nd one helps keep their reputation as a game company up for their next game abandoning a game as bug ridden as BG3 still is let alone what it must have been like at release is not a good look.

On the one hand I agree

On the other hand it just means Larian will make another great game instead, right?

Better they got the game they wanted out before forced DEI from Hasbro or WOTC messed with anything else they wanted to do with the game.
