Support NeoGAF

[kicker]

Larian has massively increased its studio size and development capacity by opening branch/support studios in several different countries (unnecessarily-cool map from their website below)

Of the big modern 'crpg' devs (Owlcat, Obsidian, Inxile and Larian), they're the only ones whose next project isn't announced or heavily rumoured yet.
Even though I really enjoyed DOS I & II, and will probably love BG3, they're also the only team who have just been making the same games, divinity games, (not all the same genre, but you know what I mean) for a while and I would really like to see something "new" from them. Yes, BG3 is new, and I will probably love it but it is essentially a divinity-style sequel to older bg games.

Personally, I would like them to make another turn-based crpg but in a sci-fi setting with darker tones. Something like The Ascent but as an open-ended crpg.
There are still innovations in the genre that I believe those 4 big studios, and larian specifically, could be able to push.

What would you like to see from them next?

 

[vaibhavpisal]

They need to shake things up.

Would like an isometric ARPG maybe.

 

[T4keD0wN]

They had a Divinity project in the works, but have stopped development on it so theyll probably go back to it.

Id personally wish Larian did BG4 or BG2 Remake. Would be cool if modders remade Baldurs Gate 2 in BG3 Engine as an extra module like they for IWD and BG1 in Neverwinter 2.

 

[AlteredForms]

Larian has become the pride of Belgium recently with some stellar games coming out of the studio. Personally I want them to keep expanding upon the Divinity series, but I would like a first-person camera mode in the next game, plus more romance options.

That’s a lot of acronyms that I’m finding hard to find motivation to figure out.

Edit:Boulders gate! I’m dumb

I always found it weird that the scenario maker in DOS 2 never took off.
Although I never used it myself so who knows

Yeah, the title is long enough as it is, couldn't expand any of the acronyms without it being silly.

Still, I made a poll option just for you, mr guy

 

[Pimpollo818]

hopefully something turn-based, non-fantasy

 

[daveonezero]

I’d like to see the same type of game in a different setting. Sci-fi, cyberpunk, steampunk or something.

 

[Zuzu]

I'd like to see them try a third person action rpg

 

[Fbh]

I'd like to see a different setting. Maybe something futuristic, Cyberpunk or even fantasy but in a more unique setting.

I've only played Original Sin 1 and while I loved the gameplay I was always a bit turned off by the very vanilla medieval fantasy setting

 

[daveonezero]

What was the isometric turn based game that was from the infinity engine era that had the unique steam punk and magic setting?

I never played it but it seemed like a unique concept.

Arcanum? Was that turn based?

 

[Mister Wolf]

Hopefully more DND. It's better than they're Divinity universe with a better combat system as well. The magic armor system in Divinity fucking sucks.

 

[R6Rider]

I'd like to see them tackle a game in a new genre.

 

[Jedusable]

A Spelljammer game would be great, it's what they were leaning before turning it into BG3.

 

[midnightAI]

I'd be AOK with BG4 or DLC but NGL, it better be made PDQ or they could make D:OS ASAP or AEAP or even a new IP AFAIAC either way, IDC

BBL, BBQ

 

[acidagfc]

They spent a lot of time bringing DND5 rules to a computer game for BG3, so I personally would not mind anything in DND setting.
A new Icewind Dale perhaps?

But honestly, any game from them is a good game, so I'd take anythibg.

Edit: oh, fuck, modern version of Arcanum would be amazing. I vote that!

 

[TheDreadLord]

It would be nice to see them trying something more in the Mass Effect style.

 

[ClanOfNone]

Arcanum? Was that turn based?

It WAS Arcanum, and iirc, the combat could be set to real time or turn based. Amazing game. It was a Troika game, the same studio behind Temple of Elemental Evil and another lil game you may have heard of, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines.

 

[Fools idol]

They are the best cRPG developer left by a country mile and it would be tragic to see them stray from what they are good at.

Personally, I would like to see a classic style cRPG from them in the Fallout-esque genre.

My dream game from them would be either a remake of Fallout 1/2 or a true sequel to the early games in classic style. They have aged poorly compared to other classics like BG2

 

[Fools idol]

BG4 or BG2 Remake. Would be cool if modders remade Baldurs Gate 2 in BG3 Engine

for the love if god no. Please don't let anyone butcher my boy. It's a perfect closed book as it is.

I would love to see a Shadowrun game from them. If not, maybe something with Cyberpunk or SciFi vibes, yeah.

Well, at least we'll be getting W40K Star Trader from Owlcat.

Personally I liked Pathfinder WotR better then any Larian game including D:OS2. It was just that amazing. That said, Larian does very good work. Just hoping they would try a different setting vs either D&D or Divinity.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

I'd love to see Dragon Commander turn-based RPG using the same D&D rules and gameplay as in BG3. Dragon Commander was amazing when it comes to story, characters, dialogues and choices that had impact on story, characters arcs and endings, but combat gameplay was... to put it lightly... not very good or interesting.

 

[Nautilus]

The strategy that would make the most sense for them, both criatively and financially, now that they have increase their size by a considerable ammount, is to have two teams: One works on stuff they are known for(So that it gives them financial stability, as those projects are the most likely to succeed) and another team that try and tackles new stuff/genres/ideas that are more risky.

They could do amazing things with the Shadowrun license.

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

They could do amazing things with the Shadowrun license.

I would love a Larian Shadowrun
