[QUOTE="SteveC, post: 9730907, member: 9053"] This isn't surprising in any way because (as so many of you have said): money. I'm just wondering what kind of game BG4 will actually be. If we're talking anything similar to BG3, it will require years of development and may be used to transition to a full-on 6E. That's how long these games take to make, and it makes me wonder if I'll even still be here to play the game. There is another alternative, and that's spitting something out that's a free-to-play, mobile-centric, or perhaps something based on the Monopoly Go engine. Let's hope that doesn't happen. There is another alternative, and that's to go to Larian and actually negotiate with them to continue along the same lines and to use the existing engine for the new game. Larian doesn't seem to want to do that, so it would require some serious coin, along with WotC executives not having too heavy a hand in the game. I'd love to see that, but ... I doubt that will happen. That would be the option I'd most like to be pleasantly surprised by. [/QUOTE]
