Was Wheel of Time on there? I'm pretty sure it was and I don't think the Jordan estate is going to be looking to expand in that direction.
I can't recall, all I remember was The Expanse and Discworld. Although, I did read that WoT's game license was sold to another company but I can't tell who owns it now.
You mean like they have a casual interest in what platforms you play games on, how often you buy games, whether you buy games at full price or wait for sales?
The entire survey was nothing but a gauge for their releases.
Well yeah, they're obviously asking for feedback on how they can maximise how they spend money on marketing and trying to improve their "market impact" (for lack of a better word), which I don't see as a negative thing for them to do.
I never said anything about expanding their playerbase. Using metrics to target IP's that their community find popular is still looking at trying to maximize profits even without "Expanding existing playerbases"
Even so, going after Major IPs would obviously make Owlcat more known and bring in more people to play their games, which is what you seemed to imply they were doing.
When did I ever say it wasn't a cash grab on Larian's part?
HOW MUCH of one is something I wonder. As I don't know if they were offered the DnD IP and took advantage of it
Well, you didn't seem to consider it to be a cash grab when you put BG3 with Elden Ring (Unless you consider ER to be one too) as only attempting to capture a wider audience without pure profit in mind.
And given that ER was an evolution of Fromsoft's rules and an original IP, it wouldn't be in the same boat as BG3.
Also, they did purposefully seek out BG3, given they had to pay for it. (They originally wanted the DnD license after Dos1, but WOTC said no)

For the recent discussion, Act 3 feels the worst for this kind of stuff.
Nothing you do or have done in the previous Acts really change much here; Play good and everything feels samey, play evil and you get less stuff.
And in general, Act 3 feels like a "roller coaster" of sorts, going from one random situation or side quest to the next.
Atleast Durge makes Act 3 feel abit more involved with the main story.
