There aren't many dark RPG's of recent, at least not many that aren't visually cartoony, be it aRPG or cRPG.
Steam-punk, Diesel-punk, Cyberpunk, Larian has a lot of choices for a new RPG, rather then sticking to Fantasy all the time.
Always wanted an RPG set in a world inspired by H.R Giger to be honest. Not many games at all resemble surreal settings, other than Frictional Games SOMA and Axiom Verge, which both aren't RPG's anyways.
Divine Divinity and Beyond Divinity, aside from the humour, be it intentional or not, were actually pretty gothic inspired, even more so than Diablo II.
Seeing Larian go back to that would be pretty damn cool. Not that I don't enjoy a colourful game, of course I do. There just seems to be too many following that trend of cartoon-ish colourful art style, visually.
Besides, who wouldn't wanna see Larian tackle Steampunk/Dieselpunk, or even Cyberpunk (Not the CDPR Game, Cyberpunk 2077, the actual sun-genre itself)
Larian is such an excellent studio, especially when comes to RPG's they could make either of those work.
Perhaps one of those RPG's could even have a better story. Not that Original Sin' story was trash, It's quite good, but only gets to that point after several hours into the game.
Even though Original Sin isn't exactly story-driven, I'm pretty sure they got more talent in the writing department to come up with something a bit more... interesting.
