But I think asking LARIAN, which revolutionized turn-based 3D top-down CRPGs and permutation gameplay in the CRPG scene (where it was more of an immersive sim thing before), to be the one to drop everything and produce what everyone else is already producing is a mistake.
This right here is the most cogent defense for Larian continuing this project I've seen so far, and is absolutely a fair perspective.
