To be fair, bg3 is more Divinity Souls 3 than BG3...

They just slapped some BG paint on top of it.

Trying to find a studio that can make a sequel to that isn't going to work out well. They need to make the tough call of finding another studio that will take the franchise and make a good game how they know how to make a good game.

    I would love it if someone made a modernized successor to BG2. Real-time with pause. Probably something other than D&D 2.x - then again maybe something based on an osr ttrpg ruleset could be interesting (look, I just don't like thac0). At least a full 6 member party, and full party control.

    They're gonna learn all the wrong lessons from bg3 and copy it

    The lesson should be to let studios do what they're good at. They need to find a good studio they trust, give them BG4, and trust them to make a good game even if fundamentally different than bg3 or bg2.

    It's the antithesis of COD or Madden that release carbon copies every year, give people a new game with a familiar setting
