Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General No Gen, Pre Gen, Origen

Do me a favor and go over this slowly with me, so I'm understanding exactly what you're saying.

To me, it sounds like you're saying you're worried about the extra work. Implying that something magical could be done if not for the extra work.

But you have proof of none of that, right? You don't actually know anything about what's happening with the project management teams, right? You don't know the groups and the deadlines and the internal budgets and the amount of people working on this or that particular project, right?

You have none of that information. So your worry is mostly just this broad nebulous worry. You can't quantify a lack of X because of a focus in Y production.

As such, I would argue that your worry is a fallacious argument.

In other words, for all you know, Larian will deliver across the board. As of now, you haven't seen the Origin play at all, and you've only seen an early access version of Tav play.

Let me come at it from another direction and see if it makes sense to you. Let's say you're talking about Larian making bread and milk. You present an argument that says I might get less bread if Larian is also giving me milk. Okay, that might be true. You don't really know, but it's reasonable that what you're saying might be true. All the same, I may want bread and milk, and I might be okay with a little less bread to get some milk on the side.

Regardless, the amount of bread and milk I'm getting in that scenario is quantifiable.

That's not the case when you're talking about an intangible, though. See? The experience of playing Tav and the experience of playing an Origin character... these are intangibles. Once they reach the level of: "feels excellent" then they can't really get much higher. You can't quantify it the same way.

So it's possible Larian could deliver a product where it feels excellent to play an Origin character and it feels excellent to play Tav. Your insistence that it's one or the other is patently fallacious and unknowable.

That said, even if it was somehow knowable right now, I (and others like me) might be okay with a "good" experience at both approaches because I prefer more options and not less.
