Kind of a nothing article, but I say just let them cook. Baldur's Gate 3 was the game that pushed them into the spotlight better than any game they've made. And now people are going back to play their old games and realizing they are great games in their own right. They opened up a genre of gaming to people that would have never even considered it. You can't accomplish all that without feeling an immense amount of pressure. Even if the next game isn't on par with Baldur's Gate 3, I'm just glad they are still doing what they do.

Can confirm, that was my case. Before this game the closest thing to a turn-based CRPG I had played was KOTOR, now I've already purchased DOS:2 and I'm looking forward to Larian's next title.

Divinity was absolutely baller and I much much prefer its combat system to d&d's.

Their next game will be better, 5e held them back as much as its recognition boosted it's popularity. WotC will spend the next decade chasing the success of BG3 while these guys rinse and repeat as they always have.

There's no reason to believe there was anything special about BG3 other than any WotC funding and lore.

WotC funding? Reverse that, Larian had to pay WotC for the right to be able to make a baldur's gate game. This has been confirmed by Larian.
