Why did Baldur's Gate 3 blow up? Larian lead writer says it's thanks to "a big gamble" with CRPG standards (www.gamesradar.com)

Let’s be honest, they could have put out a large stinking turd with a “BG3” sticker on top and I would have bought it.

I’m so happy it turned out to be really good!

I think the point out that Larian knew this too, and used the guaranteed market to invest in content, not profit.

I appreciate what they've done in terms of making the older games more accessible, but I wish they'd kept their fanfiction out of the Enhanced Editions. Especially with no access to the voice actors for the original characters the integration becomes really clunky.
