  1. I think I've said something like this before, but imagine a company like #Larian declaring that any time a game of theirs makes above a certain level of profit, they will immediately reinvest a certain amount of those profits into making that game as accessible as possible: a version for blind players, a version for deaf players where all the characters speak to each in sign language, a version that can be enjoyed by people with intellectual disabilities, et cetera et cetera. #accessibility

  2. Divinity Original Sin 2 feels a lot weaker than BG3, but it has some seriously great moments.

    Can you guess where this scene took place?

  6. Hey, did you enjoy Baldur's Gate 3? Do you want more of the same design philosophy with fresh characters and underlying systems? Good news! GOG has Larian's Divinity: Original Sin II Definitive Edition on sale for $11.25.

    You don't need to have played any of the previous Divinity games, and I won't argue you should. They're very much... of their time, and much harder to enjoy these days. D:OS2 does a great job of building out its own world independent of the existing lore.

    D:OS2 doesn't use the D&D5e system or the Forgotten Realms but don't worry, the system they use is very good.

    This game was why they got to build BG3. But that doesn't mean it's just an audition; it's a wonderful story and game by its own merits.

  8. Heute mal wieder *Baldur's Gate 3* angemacht, "nur kurz schauen" – 4 Stunden später bin ich immer noch in Akt 1, habe eine völlig neue Klasse ausprobiert und Gale versehentlich in die Luft gesprengt. Klassisch. 🎲💥

    Das Spiel ist kein RPG, es ist ein Lebensabschnitt.

  10. DOS2 is a very good game, but pre-BG3 Larian is basically pre-CK3 Paradox: "Here are 234 mechanics that we will point and laugh at you for not knowing how they work. And that's AFTER you do the tutorial".

  12. Нейросети и геймдев. Как ИИ помогает делать игры и почему это потенциально полезно для индустрии

    Последние несколько месяцев в сети идет очень жаркий спор на тему ИИ и нейросетей в игровой индустрии. Если свести все претензии в одну, то можно сказать однозначно: нейронки геймеры не любят и готовы отменять целые студии за их использование (привет, Свен Винке из Larian и разработчики Expedition 33 ) под одобрительный рев толпы. Но что, если отбросить эмоции и посмотреть на проблему более трезво и без предвзятости? Насколько ли губительна роль ИИ в разработке? Сегодня и узнаем.

  13. You can currently get #Divinity 2 -- the action #RPG #Larian created before going to round-based #games -- for just 2 Euro from #GOG:

    gog.com/en/game/divinity_2_dev

    I consider that as one of the best games of all time (and one of the biggest surprises for me -- I spent hours upon hours just flying around as a dragon ☺), so I think that deal is really worth the buy.

    (and with GOG you’ll still be able to play it if GOG itself disappears)

  15. Baldur's Gate 3 director agrees with No Rest for the Wicked lead that Early Access is "a positive thing" for games like their two RPGs – when it works

  17. Baldur's Gate 3 studio boss calls out "hurtful", "personal" videogame reviewers - "sometimes I think it'd be a good idea for critics to be scored, Metacritic-style"

  18. Honestamente, es una gran idea que #Larian esté tomando notas de mods de interfaz de #BaldursGate3 para mejorar su próximo juego. La comunidad muchas veces tiene soluciones creativas que los estudios pueden aprender a integrar.

  19. I'll get back to it and try to play it again soon - but the hardest thing to accept about Baldur's Gate 3 is that it's called Baldur's Gate 3. If it had any other name, it might be easier to accept that it's not RTWP combat.

    Been thinking on this as I replayed Baldur's Gate 1 recently (and currently playing through Pillars of Eternity again).

  21. CW: queer workplace safety in game companies

  23. And “what’s going on the industry” includes Larian’s terrifying statement—which isn’t about texture assets or algorithmic “AI” production tools but a profound obliviousness of what the research phase of the creative process is about.

  24. Даже Larian используют: станут ли AI-инструменты стандартом в разработке игр (и насколько это плохо)

    Последние месяцы индустрия игр активно обсуждает тему искусственного интеллекта — и не только в контексте новых технологий, но и скандалов. Один из самых заметных случаев связан с Larian Studios: признание в использовании AI‑инструментов вызвало бурную реакцию, ведь речь идет о разработчиках, которых принято считать «чистыми ремесленниками». Но это лишь симптом более широкой тенденции, а в разработке автоматизация существует уже давно. Эта статья попробует разобраться, как игры пришли к нынешнему моменту, какие плюсы и минусы несет внедрение AI, и почему разговор о будущем разработки — это разговор не только о технологиях, но и о ценности человеческого творчества.

  25. So apparently not only do Larian have shitty hiring practices (Just like Paradox) but also Swen is apparently completely taken by surprise that his pro-AI statement is causing blowback.
