Oh, wait, there was one, because of their "hands on" approach.

Since Larian is the developer, the odds of Baldur's Gate III not turning out well are low, but I doubt that Wizards of the Coast will have much to do with how it turns out.
I mean, Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance was probably approved by them as well, right?
If so, I'm not sure how that happened since it seems to be quite awful.

The reviews mention poor AI, unimpressive combat and a lack of enemy variety among other issues, and if Wizards of the Coast has a very hands-on approach with Dungeons & Dragons, I'd think that they'd have done something about the game's development after seeing those problems.

Likewise, Dungeons & Dragons: Daggerdale also seems to be awful enough that it doesn't make sense for them to have let it release in that state.
