Codex, Owlcat is not that big of a studio. A BG4 from them is going to look like indie shit in comparison to BG3. Obsidian making this game won't be any better cause they are struggling now even to make a medieval The Outer Worlds. And this really is why WOTC is fucked.

If I am a WOTC executive in charge I won't even consider making a BG4. I would push to make a smaller game like a Curse of Strahd game.

Owlcats making BG4 would look a lot more like IWD3 or Pathfinder 3 and that'd be great.

Obsidian making BG4 would look like Pillars of Banality 3 if they can get Sawyer to do it. Worse if they can't.

Great maybe to the codex audience....... maybe to the 1-2 million people who would buy the game. To the mass majority of the 15-20 million people who brought BG3 it will look like a joke.

That was partially my point. Anyway, I don't care what the romancefags want to play. :lol:

Actually, I forgot I can't make an rpg right now because I have a real job so this developer can make the game. They already have a strong following of both little girls and the criminally autistic so they will be perfect candidates to develop a sequel to that travesty.

BG3 already looks like indie shit. And Foulcrap has already shat out two massive woke pieces of shit, so a Forgotten Realms-style turd would be well within their repertoire.

Maybe they'll get hired to make some expansions for Bearsex Gays 3, since Latrine has declined.

Baldur's Gate 4 is very likely to expand on romances, cinematic cut-scenes and stupid zany jokes. It's not worth getting even remotely excited for.
Yes, which is why WotC will deliver a contract for Baldur's Gate 4 to whichever game-development studio is best prepared to surpass Larian's capabilities by implementing the motion-captured bear-buggery the Forgotten Realms has always yearned for.

I’d kind of just expect a Baldur’s Gate 4 to be set up as some scenario you can get in D&D digital to help push their upcoming D&D digital platform.

Hopefully Obsidian because it would be funny to see infinitron and roguey(nothing personal you're just the biggest obsidian fans I can think of) cope about bg4 struggling to sell 500k copies after bg3 sold like 20 million.

No mortal studio is worthy.
