Like we have had it in BG2 is fine or maybe like in Pathfinder Kingmaker but the artisans travel with you.
I'd prefer some great smiths and enchanting shops in Baldurs Gate though, where we find interesting characters that are talented artisans making the items for the player.

Crafting without questing doesn't add much to a game I think.

Crafting in order to constantly feed the player success moments will hopefully be avoided.


What we have in BG3 so far is creating a potion to heal oneself which is pretty cool, the spear and the sussur bark weapons although I haven't created those, simply forgot about them.

I hope there will be the option to take good looking armor and have it enchanted or modify already enchanted equipment, for a price. These things can take weeks though so choose carefully which weapons are going to be gone for a while.
