Baldur's Gate 43-year CRPG veteran behind Fallout and Wasteland knew Baldur's Gate "could be huge" decades before Larian's RPG threequel: "You're sitting on something that's going to at least do $50 million"

Baldur's Gate Former Skyrim dev praises Baldur's Gate 3 for the RPG's faithfulness to Dungeons & Dragons: "That's as close as we've gotten to tabletop role-playing on a computer"

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 screenshot of Verso, a man with black hair with white streaks running through his fringe

RPGs Baldur's Gate 3 performance director praises Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 for being a "beautiful" RPG "that 100% knows what it is"

Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 director Swen Vincke is "happy" Larian devs talk about "what they did wrong" with their RPGs, but says "they should just chill out" and remember the good things too

Baldur's Gate RPG legend Josh Sawyer says the reason classics like Baldur's Gate disappeared in the '00s was "because retailers told us no one wanted to buy them"

Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 fans can expect more "premium games" from the D&D license holder going forward, but it won't rely solely on veteran devs, and will instead "make some bets on up-and-coming talent"

A screenshot shows townspeople huddled together in a bar in the game The Secret of Weepstone

A group of people gather in The Outer Worlds 2

RPGs The Outer Worlds 2 leads say RPGs like Baldur's Gate 3 helped prove "people really, actually want these kinds of games" at a time where even Obsidian "had to prove ourselves all over again"

RPGs Baldur's Gate 3 director wishes indie dev behind "impossible" RPG reminiscent of The Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall the "best of luck" as it hits 58k wishlists on Steam

Baldur's Gate "Of course" Baldur's Gate 4 is going to happen, Wizards of the Coast boss says, but that's not the D&D game Star Wars Jedi and God of War 3's director is working on

RPGs Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 studio's next game won't necessarily be an RPG: "We don't want to be constrained by story, art style or gameplay"

RPGs Sandfall says Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 winning GOTY "isn't something we aim for," and even though it would be a "nice little bonus," it's rooting for Megabonk

FPS Games Doom designer John Romero could have been "System Shock designer John Romero," but the FPS legend got the offer to set up id Software "the week before" another offer to set up what would become Looking Glass

RPGs Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was inspired by JRPG greats like Final Fantasy, but its director loves gaming because of an old-school 1988 beat 'em up

Adventure Games "I never stop thinking about adventure games," Monkey Island legend Ron Gilbert says, but as his roguelike nears release he doesn't want to make another point-and-click simply "for nostalgic reasons"
