I'm actually finding myself curious and interested in what those two new projects Swen talks about may be. I hope at least one of them turns out to be a Larian game I will like, finally!

I agree, that this would be good for Larian, good for you, but I don't think it would be good for D&D, and it will definitely not be good for BG franchise. In fact, I think BG franchise just got put to rest (which is not necessarily bad).

I agree with you about Divinity 3, I'm not a big fan of both Original Sin games myself (I loved their first two Divinity games, though) and I hope they will reach for another IP.

My personal dream would be their partnership with Games Workshop and making a game in Warhammer Fantasy setting (or Warhammer 40k, but this is probably less likely, because Owlcat already made a game in this setting). WFRP was probably my favourite tabletop setting, with lots of unforgettable memories from my younger days. I'm not familiar with newer editions, though, I hope GW didn't ruin the lore, like WoTC did with FR.
Unfortunately, at least for me, I can't imagine Larian/Swen will use/create a new IP that is fantasy-based given that they already have that in their Divinity franchise. So it is much more likely they will go with something sci-fi/post-apocalyptic/steampunk etc. And since I only like fantasy-based games and only now am beginning to become open to these other genres, chances are good I'm not going to get a game from Larian that will make me rejoice. That sucks, and it's too bad, because I believe in giving credit where credit is due and Larian as an RPG developer does have some very positive things going for them.
