Yeah. If one liked D:OS1/2 and BG3, I expect they'll be satisfied with whatever Larian's next offering is, but those who were introduced to Larian with BG3 are probably in for bit of a shock. The degree to which BG3 early access players had to tell Larian to dial back the immature humour because...

Did you see the thing I linked earlier? If you click the three bars in the top left corner by the search bar, you can change between various maps - eg. from Faerûn to Sword Coast to Waterdeep. It's not quite the diet google maps we'd both like, but decent for a fan project.

Yeah. In my experience, it's basically only the cosmetic and QoL stuff that actually gets finished. I never bothered with any for NWN, but I'd pour over content for Morrowind (and dabbled with the toolset myself). I think I can count on one hand the amount of story/quest/NPC content mods that...

I was typing up a response, but basically what @Ruin Explorer said. Subclasses (or classes, or spells or whatever) could be DLC, but it would have to be optional content (Necromancer for Diablo 3, for example). Larian added the subclasses as part of a patch that people had to download, so it was...

Larian released a new subclass for each class in a major update patch. They simply don't do DLC. The only other way content gets added to the game is via mods by fans. Larian released a toolkit specifically for this, similar to what BioWare did for NWN.

I'd murderhobo for an Eberron game.

I don't think Obsidian is actually a realistic candidate at this point. They moved on from licensing to creating their own IPs a decade ago - Pillars of Eternity, Outer Worlds, most recently Avowed. The Microsoft money would make licensing more accessible for them, but Microsoft want their own...

After what happened with the VTT, I guess I'm skeptical about the level of interactivity this will actually have.

Yeah, but given the sort of things fans have made, with the resources Hasbro has, imagine if WotC gave us a sort of diet Google Maps for each of the various settings. One can dream.

I had a spare moment, so I decided to test this. Using GIMP, I scaled up the maps of north Sword Coast (from Lost Mines of Phandalin) and south Sword Coast (from Scourge of the Sword Coast) and overlaid them on the Sword Coast map from SCAG, and there was enough deviation in form that I'm...

Oh, are WotC finally catching up to fanmade works like this? Would be nice if it was an interactive globe.

Schley's work for 5e has tended to have more colour gradience, while his work for 4e was more flat. The maps in your OP look much more in line with the 4e maps, so I wonder if they're older unused work.

Yeah. If I was in Schley's position, I'd probably map out the entire thing (at least linework) in order to maintain consistent scale, and pull out the area needed for a given book. It'd be more work upfront, but solid futureproofing.

This is definitely Mike Schley's work. Unfortunately, none of the maps that have upside down black triangles have a key, and the ones that have a key don't contain that symbol, so it's hard to know for sure. However, the map of Vaasa uses that symbol for Delhalls, Talagba (both Dwarven mines)...

Blades in the Dark is oft praised for it's faction element. It's fairly light compared to Dungeons of Drakkenheim, but more detailed than Wicked Ones (which barely has anything even though it's a Dungeon Keeper reskin of BitD). Each faction is given: Tier: an abstract representation of the power...

People have already pointed out that it's a guess, but it's worse than that. Not only is there no official info from CR themselves, no inside knowledge, no leak, the author offers nothing backing up their claim. When people here have speculated about whether they'll use D&D or Daggerheart for...

Not packs of players. Individual players jumping in to kill the pack of mobs I was clearing, but I'd run into them every 20 minutes or so. While it's possible there was a dial turned due to feedback from the beta, a quick look at various figures suggests to me that it's simply due to reduced...

The physical products are expected to be available in Q1 2026, yes, but the PDFs for the Player's Guide and GM's Guide are available now. I wasn't remotely impressed with the playtest either, so I'm curious what changes they made that changed your opinion.

This was based on my actual play experience during the beta weekend. It was not just world bosses, or even Helltide events; I would have random players contribute to pack clearing in the open world like it was Guild Wars 2. That's not really the experience I'm looking for in an aRPG, I play GW2...

Yeah, that figure is literally Zelda dressed as Link. However, given Heroes of Cerulea (complete with NES cartridge-inspired trade dress) has remain untouched, I suspect Nintendo are waiting to see how their lawsuit against Palworld plays out before throwing their weight around some more.
