    Yeah, I agree. The reason BG3 was a bigger success than DOS2 is because it has the Baldur’s Gate / D&D license (and has broader appeal since the system is one that a lot more “casuals” understand thanks to the real-play podcast boom), not because it’s a much better game than Divinity. If Larian’s next game isn’t D&D, it’ll probably not sell as well, regardless of quality. In a way though it should relieve some of the pressure on the studio.
