Who is with me: Larian improves the BG3 engine, and starts putting out D&D campaigns, from the classics on. Buck the Baldurs Gate thing, and do some modules as games. Be my dungeon master, Larian.

I'd love that but it's far too lucrative an idea for Wizards of the Coast to ever do it with the way their business is currently being run

Exactly. I'm still amazed bg3 didn't have loot boxes or gas stuffed in somehow. Thx for slaying mind parasites, Larian.

Honestly, the number one thing I wished for while playing BG3 was DOS3. BG3 is great and all and the combat is fun, but there are so many things about DND 5e (and especially its combat) that just don't work well (both in BG3 and tabletop imo).

But DOS3, where every ability would be designed fresh, without any pre-defined requirements, combined with the amazing engine that they've built for BG3? That just sounds soo good imo.

So yeah, I can't wait for them to go back to working on something else actually.

This is what I've been thinking the whole time too. Absolutely love the game, but coming from Pathfinder I find 5e... lacking.

What is DOS3?

Divinity Original Sin 3, I assume.
