Hasbro exec says Baldur's Gate 3 "proved for us that people really wanted great D&D games," supports Larian's plan to "take the time we need" (www.gamesradar.com)

Anyone who played Larian’s previous titles can tell you the only thing DnD brought to the table was a popular IP.

And it was used to great effect. There's a ton of good stuff in the D&D mythos that can be made into other solid games.

Hasbro will fuck it up, I agree, but the potential is undoubtedly there.

Yeah I agree. They deserve a lot of credit for elevating D&D rather than relying on it to elevate the game. The result is greater than the sum of its parts; both D&D and Larian reached a wider audience through the collaboration.

5e combat is better than their garbage elemental system from Divinity. Stopped playing that shit after the tenth flight with necrofire covering the entire battlefield.

that is an extremely debatable, incredibly hot take. i wasn't a fan of cloud and surface spam but lets not pretend that 5e's combat is universally loved, either. larian made it work pretty well by sanding off some edges here and there but it's, at best, a sidegrade.
