honestly i'm fine with D&D as an IP just imploding. it was created by a fascist and still has that taint
larian and the pathfinder people (and early bioware) basically polished turds into diamonds

The "born evil" races thing was
all along and as much as I like Larian's work, they didn't really do much to stray from that with how previously "evil" races in BG3 were still portrayed.And I'm so fucking bored of illithids and underdark shit in general and have been since the 90s. It's D&D original-IP-do-not-steal so it's milked pretty much every CRPG.
i think people are attracted to the lovecraftian stuff and drow have that femdom bdsm allure
Sure, and they can be.
I'm just bored with it because pretty much every mainline D&D game since the 90s has kept returning to that again and again and again.
I really hate Wizards of the Coast and their
style promises to not do more rent-seeking skullduggery with their IP or not to fuck with licenses but then doing it anyway, so I hope Larian stays away from them entirely.As much as it pains me, I am glad they didn't rush something shitty. Looking forward to the next game.
IP's are really fucking shit. Bad devs gets good licences, even more good series lies dead in drawers, and worst of all, sucesses gets scrapped of their future for no reason (1000 years of death with iron fingers on whomever fucker who decided Harebrained won't do Battletech 2 but instead shat out fucking turd like Lamplighters)
