BG2 was a huge game too, and it took 25 years for a sequel.

They're not going to pick a studio and crank out bg4 in just a couple years.

I'll be surprised if it takes less than a decade.

Isn’t Wizards of the Coast scummy af?

Larian are the studio with integrity, why wouldn’t Wizards of the Coast go for the cash grab?

My understanding is that Wizards is mostly pretty good. Its their corpo overlords at Hasbro to watch for

WotC is a division of Hasbro now & if you use MtG as a reference you can see the plan seems to be to drain the swamp. I think in their shareholders meetings they want MtG to double its earning in 4 years... So I'd imagine they're looking for angles on D&D & BG may be the flagship for this.
