Dragon Age Co-Creator Says Baldur's Gate 3's Influence Won't Be Felt For Years

I love watching the dev community squirm as they pathetically try to convince everyone BG3 hasn't set a standard.

BG3 was a wonderful anomaly, but these games have a very small but dedicated audience. I have to believe developers understand this and we will see other games like it, but not many.

Veilguard is Anthem 2.0. Good chance the new Mass Effect game will be transfered to another dev because i am not seeing Bioware being intact after Veilguard launch.

BG3 is too tedious man. Players are insane.

OMG
"BioWare recently revealed that The Veilguard will be a mission-based linear game instead of featuring an open world"
No thanks. This is the first DA:x I won't be buying on Day 1.

The original BioWare was as good if not better than Larian in its current form. They just didn’t have the mass appeal. They now join Blizzard as once great companies and now trash.

In other words it’s going to suck. Just say you know your game can’t compete with bg3 if that’s the case. There is no reason why you couldn’t take lessons from that game unless it’s just down to timing of the release. BioWare just is NOT a good dev anymore. Haven’t been in years. Maybe they’ll prove me wrong but I doubt it. And to the idiot who said bg3 sucks, get a cat scan bud you have brain damage possibly. Bg3 is the best game in the last 10 years when it comes to RPGS bar none. To say it’s not is just being argumentative and lying to yourself. There’s a reason it has universal acclaim. It’s an amazing game.

BG3 sucks

I was excited for a new Dragon age game then i saw it.. I'm not excited anymore

From the article above, what I am worried about is Bioware signaling that the next Dragon Age game is going to be far removed from the first DA game, and maybe farther removed from CRPG like games. With a more heavier emphasis on twitch action based combat and reacting to the story, not participating.

For me, for my 'group of friends', (that cut their teeth on CRPGs, on truly incredible ways to tell stories) have seen more and more cRPGs in the last 5 years then every before. This is a truly great RPG renascence.

I will admit Larian Studios has been a huge mover behind this. From the Divinity series to BG3 it has been amazing. I have also enjoyed the Pillars of games, Disco Elysium, and Shadowrun all incredible games. The last couple of Wasteland games.. wow. Then you have countless CRPGs lite games, and indies. It is hard to believe but there is a market for CRPGs of old, not only a market a thriving market. Games are getting funded and, getting made and coming out each year.

BG3 is also a commercial juggernaut, so yeah, you are going to have a dozen clones before too long. Which is fine, Larian needs the competition at this point, as they are the studio with a 'come at me bro-nerd' sign on their back. Most gamers will not have to wait years, there is CRPGs out all the time, are they going to be like BG3... haha lordy no, but there are some really great ones worth checking out.

I really hope DAtV is at least a decent game and reasonably optimized game at launch. The bar is low Bioware, at least try.

Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. BG3 only came out last year, so anybody expecting a return to DA:O was having a pipe dream. Still, I hope Bioware takes it into consideration for future games, whether they be Mass Effect, Dragon Age, or a fresh new RPG IP.

I don't want BG3 formula in all my RPGs. The game was tedious to play.

The husk that's called bioware could never make a game half as good as bg3. Now owlcat, obsidian and inXile can make excellent real RPGs and they will absolutely learn from bg3 you know because they make RPGs. A conversation wheel with shallow xp systems and banging your teammates doesn't make your generic hack and Slash game an RPG

Sadly, we got the game influenced by Fortnite/ all the rest of the hack+ slash games. This doesn't look good.
