This may become the best selling CRPG ever, given that the originals shipped somewhat above 2 millions, it almost inevitably will. However, it's probably also the most expensive CRPG ever, as Larian has working hundreds on it. In a way, it's the culmination of what's started back in 2012/2013ish with the first wave of Kickstarters. Had it been not for them (and DOS), this project may have never seen the light of day.
As mentioned above, really curious how this may affect the market. Obsidian's Deadfire was a commercial disappointment for them; one of the last and bigger CRPGS. However, with games such as this being successful, party-based more tactical combat experiences may still be here to stay a while. I wonder if even bigger publishers may start eyeing it all again.
Plus, Wizards Of The Coast may finally get their act together and allow more D&D games to exist again, like in the old days.
Skyrim is sitting at 42 million sold. BG3 won't come anywhere near that. I am skeptical it can reach the more than 10 million in sales for DA:I.
As for more D&D games, that depends. If it is more D&D games across a range of different types of games, that would awesome. If it is more D&D games exactly like BG3, then no thanks.
