To be fair, BG3 is like bottled lightning, and I think it’s unreasonable to expect many (if any) other studios to produce something like that.
Even the Divinity games were way above par, with a much more lukewarm (but not unsuccessful, I guess?) reception.
Shit I loved Divinity Original Sin and the sequel, but even I don't think Larian could match or exceed BG3
