Well, maybe because they are an amazing studio that makes great games with little money. They have in my opinion the best track record of the decade, only rivaled by Fromsoft: New Vegas, PoE1, PoE2, Stick of Truth and Tyranny. Even Outer Worlds has great reception even though it sucks. Larian has one great game in the decade with DOS2 (DOS1 sucked).
did DOS1 suck because you did not like it or you are talking in general? because it was never receive badly and got a really good score overall (from the critics and from the users)
No, it just sucks. The flaws are so in your face that the scores the game received still baffle me. Maybe because of the CRPG revival? A game with randomized loot where enemies don't respawn and almost never drop such loot, not even the gear they are using; ugly characters, bad soundtrack, stupidly difficult combat (for real, every fight has you outnumbered 2x1 at least, with enemies higher level than you), overreliance on surface effects, no respec in a game where you can hit a wall very early and might have to restart.
