Now if they had Bioware when they still had some of the original developers there, it would have been interesting.
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.
