I dont fear Larian being sold to anyone, M$ or otherwise.

The experience with Bioware shows that the moment you sell to a big company like EA, Microsoft etc, its downhill from then.

The reason is actually very easy for anyone who knows companies like this: they only look to make big bucks on the shortterm. There is no longterm thinking there. Longterm the company will be ruined ? The owners will just sell their stock and move elsewhere.

Well an in case of Bioware it apparently also was the rampage of an especially woke leadership. Apparently the boss checked everyones socials before hiring new people, and unless you are terminally woke, you wont get hired. Great way to kill any company.

Hello Larian team, I hope you are doing well while working on your another masterpiece we all can't wait to get to play it one day and get lost in it. Saw you guys mention the romances are about to be deep and detailed and I got all excited for that.
Just wanted to share a dream of mine that has been living in the head of mine for the past 15 years I think and who knows maybe it could inspire you in some ways or you could like the idea
I'd love to see a young male companion who is strikingly beautiful - truly gorgeous, in that effortless, unfair way and masculine in both looks and presence. I created a man like that in my head and named him Vivian. I think either rouge or sorcerer class would suit his personality perfectly. What I always imagined is that he is morally complex and has a rich backstory and he did some questionable choices along the way in the past so he isn't exactly squeaky clean but not exactly devil himself either...Maybe circumstances in the past forced him to do evil and he did what he had to do and those things have effects on him now and he isn't exactly so easy to be around. I tried to draw what I mean but I haven't drawn anything in 8 years... still I took a pencil and did it and I'm happy about the result! This is my Vivian:



If something like this ever finds its way into Divinity - even just as inspiration, it would be like winning a lottery but I believe in reaching for your dreams no matter how small the chances are!
Thank you for creating worlds and characters we get to fall in love with.
Posted with a smile wishing everyone on the team all the best
