  1. I wonder how each protagonist character in #BG3 would act during a Scientology Speed Run.

  2. The worse #BG3 #hottake I saw recently was someone saying #Astarion can't be a dark romance hero because he's "effeminate and wears perfume." Um, our beloved pansexual #vampire absolutely CAN be a dark hero. Dark hero does NOT equal toxic masculinity.

  3. Analizziamo il fenomeno Larian Studios: la sfida di Swen Vincke ai giganti AAA, l'effetto alone sui giocatori, la coraggiosa mossa di distacco da D&D e il tempismo cruciale del successo, oltre il marketing. #Editoriali #Videogiochi #BaldursGate3 #Divinity #DivinityLarian #divinityoriginalsin2 #larianstudios

  4. [P] The point is is that if people are going ooey-gooey over a Mr. Good Guy in corporate? That person's going to be an idiot at best, but often an exploitative parasite at worst. AA is no different than AAA for the most part, and it's thanks to the kinds of Dark Triad sociopaths and narcissists who invariably staff corporate/executive positions. The only way to avoid that is to not have those positions.

  7. [P] I mean, I've been pretty easy on Larian so far. I haven't even spoken about their exploitative hiring process ("Write us a few PLAYABLE quests for our latest game, FOR FREE, and MAYBE we'll think about hiring you."), or their Shades-of-Ubisoft sexual harassment dealings ("Anyone powerful in our company WILL NOT face any repercussions, YOU will."), or how BGIII's gender options were an internal ironic joke.

  10. [P] I use Larian as my example of how AA is dying. I mean, it's easy to say I'm wrong, but let's wait and see? I'm the kind of autism that loves patterns, and I see AAA's failures being replicated in AA. I feel like the best advice I can give to aspiring devs is: make smaller games of the sort you like, and skip hiring out-of-touch corporate stooges. I know you likely can't afford their wages anyway, but still.

  12. Look. I’m excited that Larian is working on a new crpg because they’re Larian. But who in the name of marketing thought that excessively gross pre-rendered trailer at the Game Awards was a good idea? I mean, who does that actually appeal to?

  13. The industry wants #LarianStudios to fail 👎

    The only make me preorder #Divinity 🤣

    I don't care if they use #AI or not. I want a good game, which means being done by real people without hidden agendas.

  14. Turns out it *is* a new Divinity game that Larian is working on, and it looks amazing, not much is revealed by the first cinematic teaser, but I am here for the terrifying and mysterious 'Medieval Midsommar' vibe.

    And, to be honest, after Baldur's Gate 3 and the level of attention they poured into the story, the characters, and the gameplay experience, I'd be invested in anything the studio planned next.

    (Content warning for the trailer for gore, torture, human sacrifice, NSFW, and general *very* graphic content.)

  15. I wonder how the next #RPG will be reviewed by critics, now that #BaldursGate3 exists.

    The RPG bar is high and anything below what #LarianStudios made is going to be "good enough".

    Take for example #TheElderScrollsVI, supposedly on track for 2025. Imagine so much hype for what could end as a "6/10 game" that does half what BG3 does, and then some.
