I'm coming here to the forums because trying to have similar discussions on reddit has led to me being overwhelmed with downvotes because people seem to not understand the point I am trying to make and immediately jump to calling me an entitled crybaby begging for DLC. I've never once made any comment about the fact that there aren't going to be any expansions or sequels for the game coming from Larian, as that isn't something I ever expected.
All I'm trying to open discussion about is the fact that it's incredibly upsetting to see that Larian so suddenly decided to stop making substantial updates to the game and move on to their next project. Since the launch of BG3, Larian has done a beyond amazing job of responding to all sorts of player feedback and making updates to the game to help turn it into the best version of itself that it can possibly be. This is why I'm so baffled by their sudden heel-turn of saying "Well we're done with the game and burnt out on it so we're going to explore our next projects". It's incredibly frustrating to see the developers' passion for the game suddenly fly out the window in the way it did. I don't understand how voicing my criticism some parts of the game makes me entitled in the way that some people are saying I am. I've never once made an unreasonable request like "Please add a path where I can turn Wyll into a bad guy" or "Let me have the Chosen Three as romance options and companions if I'm being evil". All I've ever wanted was for Larian to keep making tweaks here and there to the heavily criticized parts of the game as they have been for months. They went out of their way to record whole new dialogue and create the epilogue party, so why would they call it quits on the game without smoothing out the other problems (ie. the massive lack of dialogue and scenes for Karlach, Wyll, Halsin, and Minthara, especially compared to Astarion and Shadowheart)?
I'd ask that if anybody responds to this thread they don't turn it into a place where people start hating on Larian. I've noticed that whenever people bring up sentiments similar to mine it always becomes a conversation where people call Larian a terrible company that makes bad games. This game is my favorite piece of media I've ever consumed, which is why I'm simply so passionate about it. I know that for the longest time, the developers were incredibly passionate about it too, so I just wish they would give us some answers on exactly why things changed when they were so close to the finish line...
