Yeah that's why it's a hope and not an expectation - it's a shame and deeply ironic, because it's a sign of huge compromises being made, which is exactly what the 'don't hold BG3 up as the new standard' discourse seemed to be about; Larian being able to avoid compromises due to size and budget. I guess it just shows that game development is too large and complex to ever go to plan, no matter how much time or resources you have.
