I'm sad to see the old gang go, but Larian really doesn't need the Baldur's Gate IP or D&D to make another groundbreaking RPG

Karlach and Tav in Baldur's Gate 3 share a tender moment, tieflings of opposing colours in a hazy city-scape.

Larian Studios, the developer behind Baldur's Gate 3, has recently announced that it'll be moving away from D&D games, also citing a general lack of enthusiasm when it came to developing DLC for BG3. And honestly? I'm pleased as punch.

Well, for the most part. I am admittedly holding some conflicted feelings about these characters' stories continuing elsewhere, and the fact there won't be any Larian-quality expansions for one of my favourite games. But as I said back in September last year there are plenty of nerdy, mechanical reasons why a high-level D&D campaign would struggle in a videogame environment.
