Honestly, after DOS2, I’d play a Larian game in any setting just based on them being the devs - and that goes double after BG3. Their handle on storytelling and environments is so good I’d trust it would be enjoyable even in a setting I’m not interested in.
I would love to see them do sci-fi. Imagine something like Mass Effect from Larian…
Imagine fallout actually being good holy shit. Fallout 76 plays like a casino. Before they added Atlantic City.
Even the Bethesda Fallout games are pretty damn good, and if you want a modern version of the classic games, there’s Wasteland.
Imagine fallout actually being good holy shit.
Why imagine it? Fallout 1, 2, Tactics and New Vegas exist.
@ampersandrew It’s not that they’re not good games, but they are not very good RPGs compared to RPGs like the originals, or baldur’s gate. They’re pretty good action games, tho.
I would love to see their take on Fallout
Honestly, the Larian writing style and humour would have probably been a better fit for Fallout.
If love them to make a Discworld game. So many characters would be perfect for a D&D style game.
That sounds far more interesting than fallout. Fallout as an IP seems kinda overdone now and it’s restrictive (they don’t even want to do anything outside America).
Its restrictive because Bethesda has no creativity anymore. A lot of the old ideas cor the world back around the time of Van Burens development is really interesting. For example a solid chunk of the south was supposed to be overrun by a jungle from a corrupted GECK. The midwestern Brotherhood of Steel had more in common with Caesars Legion, and also recruited ghouls, super mutants, and sapient deathclaws. And just look at the New Vegas DLC for an idea of what the plans were for in the southwest, most of the DLCs are based on different areas in the Van Buren design Docs.
