At this point Bioware is just a skinsuit worn by EA. Once the skinsuit gets too stinky they will dispose of it and buy a new studio to make a fresh suit.
If someone makes a new kotor game but uses the same extremely janky DND 3.x rules I am going to search my house for the monkey’s paw. That would make me so mad.
Please don’t use the money’s paw. It will almost definitely change the game system to FATAL, and I do not, under any circumstances, want to roll for Zaalbar’s anal circumference.
Wizards of the Coast owner Hasbro, which says Larian’s “mega hit” RPG, having driven around $90 million in revenue in the last year, is a good sign for more video games to come from the D&D license.
I don’t know them, but this seems like they have understood that D&D is beneficial to their purse.
Hasbro wants more games but that doesn’t say Larian wants or has been contracted for more. It’d be dumb for Larian to at least not make an expansion. Though I do understand expanding the level cap is super difficult and a LOT of spells will need to be limited in scope.
In short, at 7th to 9th level spells shit get stupid really fast.
In any case, the sweet spot of the 5th edition ruleset(which Larian vastly improved upon) is levels 5 to 10. Under that and you’re too squishy, over that and you start getting into the plane shifting and just outright death spells.
I doubt Larian will return to D&D for the next game.
Give them Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and the internet will go berserk
Can we give them Dragon Age, because BioWare doesn’t seem to know what it’s doing anymore.

Don’t worry, they will go full HERO System :)

Why is level cap hard to expand?
