Speaking to Edge, Larian CEO and Baldur's Gate 3 director Swen Vincke said that the game's overwhelming awards success was greatly appreciated, but began to cause a problem. "It affects development - there's a lot of them. This has been a real problem." Sending a team of developers out to one awards show is one thing, but when it became clear that Baldur's gate 3 was going to keep winning, Larian started sending "rotating teams" to collect those awards - "different people went to different award shows."

I think the level of creativity at display in linear levels will always outshine an open world

Also the amount off various tools
 
Yeah, I think it was around the time they rolled out the more fleshed-out endings update.
It's understandable. Swen had to move so much for speeches and awards and probably had to overwork for post-launch support
 
Dont to feel happy or sorry lol

BG3 was fantastic but so were the post launch updates. Its amazing how they pulled that off
 
First time I saw the director of the game saying the success was too much lmfao


He deserved it though. In a good way
