I per-ordered BG3 (EA) and am playing and the one thing that I realized is how tiring/exhausting it is to play this type of turn based games!
Bugs/glitches aside (Patch 9), the spell slot limitations, the short rest/long rest, all that stuff just (for me) takes away from the game play, not to mention that things just slow down.
Don't get me wrong, I played Dragon Age Origins way back when and I loved it (companions had AI that I could specify and did not have to micro manage them) and yes, I played DOS and DOS II on PS4
So I say, Larian STOP making these type of games, its 2023, move to a open world "normal" type game, have companions, give them each AI that the player can tune and build a open world RPG, you have the story telling talent, heck, you even have the IP, you could use the worlds of DOS or DOS II to expend upon or create/buy a new IP, there are thousands of fantasy books written every year!
But I'm kind of tired of playing these turn based games, yes I will play BG3 but I wont be playing non stop like Cyberpunk 2077 or the Witcher 3 from years ago (on PS4)
With Starfield and other games coming out, BG3 maybe a game on my "to paly" list instead of "currently playing", yes, Larian Studios got my money but............
First of all, they already made the games you ask for(Divinity II) i think they made 3 games in that series. (really good games btw).
Second, if a company (Larian Studeos) have a huge success with one type of games (Turn based in this case), and people are SCREAMING for more, why the frack would you risk throwing all this away, when you know there is a HUGE market and you are litterly the king of making those games?
Third - What

Just gonna say it. BG3 is based on D&D 5e, which is, hear me out here, also a turn-based game. So it is entirely in keeping with the rules of the source material. If they were making almost any other sort of game, you might have a point. But 'Turns' have been part of D&D from the beginning.
