BioWare of 10 years ago at the latest, maybe. After that, they really started going downhill, imo. The only other developer I might've trusted with this was Obsidian, but who knows how Microsoft would've influenced that development.
I have reservations about this one, such as Larian's writing style, as others have brought up. I also wasn't particularly enamored with how they heavily borrowed gameplay elements from their D:OS series for that gameplay showcase. At the very least, I hope they tone that down some for the final product, so that BG3 can be it's own game to some degree.
The Larian people do have a lot of passion, though, and I did really enjoy the D:OS games for what they are, so I hope that their overall passion and experience carry over to their next game.
