I think, they lost love for the game in the end because of WotC. They don't seem to be the easiest to work with and I remember Swen or someone else from Larian mentioning, that all the people, they worked with on WotC are gone now. That can't be easy.

I think the fact, that they work with their own IP now should be helpful.
True, that was maybe a big part of the problem and it was completely out of their control. But still I'm wary. Even though they seem to be very conscious about what went wrong, tthis time they are "even more ambitious", aiming higher. I for one would be fully satisfied if they would manage to develop a game of the scope of BG3, that delivers on its promise (i.e. completed and polished.)
