WTF, stop hijacking my thread for tall tales about Eldon Ring! THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS THREAD WAS STARTED FOR!

This thread was started in order to discuss if Larian should produce a open world RPG, in the way of The Witcher 3 or Cyberpunk 2077 or name any of the other great RPG's that you like and are in a open world type of environment (don't you dare bring up Elden Ring!)

Something that is NOT turn based, isometric but a real breathing world where you are the adventurer, exploring, saving the Kingdom (or whatever), helping the helpless (or killing them), something that is not as tedious as a turn based game, heck, try RTwP during combat (have a AI that the user can set up and let the characters fight to the death, or pause and take control if your loosing) (yes I know, threes a thread about RTwP already)

Get the idea??

I enjoy open world formats when they are done well and are interesting to explore, which is to say, not made by Ubisoft. I also don’t think CDPR make good open worlds either.

If Larian want to make one, I’d be excited to see how they handled it. But I don’t want them to stop making turn based tactical games. It’s a niche genre, with only a handful of big name titles. If Larian stopped making them I would be left with Fire Emblem and the odd indie game.

Larian have struck gold by being a big fish in a small pond. I’m not sure how interested they would be in competing in the more crowded open world game arena.
