Eh. I'm not making not excuses for Hasbro - the attempt to kill off other rulesets, the stupid changes to one DnD - but I would rather have the current WotC team working on DnD that Larian.
While it is true that Larian did the right thing by hiring some real DnD and Faerun fans - chapter 2 was spot on - it's equally clear that the senior management doesn't really get Faerun. See chapter 3 with its factories, grenades, hellfire surfaces and the gods represented as jerks.
Let Larian make DOS3 with its horrible gods, surfaces battles, exploding barrels and bomb in every pocket. It's what they want to do.
Right on! Completely agree.
As much as I hate WotC, having Tencent (and Larian) own the IP would've been way worse.
