    I haven't read the linked article, but I'm curious whether this was actually Larian's choice or Hasbro's (Hasbro being WotC's parent company).

    My understanding was that Baldur's Gate 3 was pretty successful, so it would surprise me if Larian deliberately chose not to do follow-ups.

    They way they are talking it sounds very much like they are tired of working in the D&D Universe and want to other things

    A Larian Studios representative corroborated IGN’s report in an email to Kotaku, sending over the following quote from Vincke’s talk that “sums [the situation] up” pretty well:

    I told you at the beginning that we were a company of big ideas. We are not a company that’s made to create DLCs [or] expansions. We tried that actually, a few times, and it failed every single time. It’s not our thing. Life is too short, our ambitions are very large. And so, like Gustav [the codename for BG3, taken from Swen’s dog who recently passed away], Baldur’s Gate will always have a warm spot in our hearts. We’ll forever be proud of it, but we’re not going to continue in it.

    We’re not going to make new expansions, which everybody is expecting us to do. We’re not going to make Baldur’s Gate 4, which everybody is expecting us to do. We’re going to move on. We’re going to move away from D&D, and we’re going to start making a new thing. I’m saying it here because I have a forum and [we’re getting] bombarded by people that expect us to do these things, but that’s not for us. It’s going to be up to Wizards of the Coast, because it’s their IP, to find somebody to take over the torch. We think we did our job and so, for us, it’s time to get a new puppy.

     

  2. The Lions have released Cameron Sutton

    This comes one day after comes out that Sutton is wanted by the police over his alleged involvement in a domestic violence case.

    It should be noted that the police have been "unable" to locate Sutton since March 7 and apparently Sutton's attorney is also MIA

  3. This is probably "big" enough to mention here and not just in the BG3 thread

    Quote

    At a Game Developers Conference (GDC) panel today, Larian Studios founder Swen Vincke dropped something of a bombshell by revealing that the developer isn't planning to release any expansions or DLC for Baldur's Gate 3, nor a Baldur's Gate 4.

    Instead, Vincke said at the panel, Larian plans to move away from Dungeons & Dragons entirely and do something new, leaving the IP in Wizards of the Coast's hands.

    I’m sure it’s been addressed somewhere but I’m guessing the Korea games are at the Gocheok Sky Dome (16744 seats) instead of a larger stadium like Jamsil Baseball Stadium (25000 seats) due to the roof and not wanting to get rained on?

    They just completely overhauled the stadium so that number might not be accurate

    Over 100,000 spectators are anticipated to visit the venue, according to the metropolitan government. 

     

  5. In A Violent Nature

    For those who haven't heard about this one basically think of it as an entire movie where you watch from Jason's perspective (I am using that as a analogy - the movie has nothing to do with the franchise)

  6. Marvin Harrison Jr has opted to not work out at the Ohio State Pro Day

    He also didn't work out at the combine

    He will now drop like a stone, end up in KC and we will all be enraged

    Boy I certainly wouldn't give Chase Young $13 million let alone guaranteeing the full amount but I am not the Saints

    Clearly the Saints don't give a fuck

     

  8. I have the live stream on and they immediately announced "Onslaught" which is a new activity that is indeed a horde mode (they used a different term) that defends the Last City

    I have to hop in and out so I will probably just wait till it ends
