[@nilocblue]

Baldur's Gate 3 isn't overrated in the least, it deserved all its praise. One of the best games I've ever played.

[@TheHiyy]

@@beethovenlivesupstairs4182 Spiderman 2 stan spotted

[@AndrewThoesen]

The way it made me feel as an adult was the way Super Mario RPG made me feel as an 8 year old. I hadn’t felt that child-like wonder in almost 30 years

[@moonwatcher99]

Okay, something just hit me big time, at 20:41, when Swen starts talking about mistakes, and especially mistakes that were being pointed out by early access players. His response is such a contrast with other studios, and I think it really is the single biggest explanation why Larian has the success and goodwill that it does. Their response to being told 'mistake' is light years away from the response you see with other studios, who just look at players and tell them that they're just playing the game wrong, or they just don't understand what they should be thinking. Larian's just like 'Well, we have to listen to our players; they're the whole reason we're doing this', and they're not too proud to make changes. Class act.

[@rrrrthats4rs]

I feel like Swen was actually right about the second person narration and I desperately want to play the game he was trying to make-- but I nonetheless appreciate that this aspect of Swen as a game director has on balance led to WAY more good outcomes than bad

[@svetakirko8427]

​@@rrrrthats4rs yeah, me too, actually many of their decisions were amazing players just weren't ready for them, but we don't know how would it influence the production, maybe less variety etc. So it is what it is, amazing game

[@literallyjustgrass]

I like the general argument that players are very good at finding problems, but not always as good at providing solutions. I do think it's possible to 'play the game wrong', but it's often a result of the design failing to communicate the developer's intention properly, and the player's bad experience is valid and something worth addressing. But if you remove that element of design, you also remove a piece of your unique vision, so you have to be very careful to not make a bland product P.S. example: the entire history of world of warcraft and it's redesigns lol

[@johndeighan2495]

I came round to your way of thinking over time. I think you mean first-person narration? It would have worked for origin characters. But it wouldn’t have worked with Tav, and that was the problem. I remember Sven playing as Astarion with first person narration and thinking “no no no!” But that’s because I was thinking more about Tav than origin characters. I wouldn’t want the story to be told by my Tav voicing his thoughts in the first person. But it’s different for Astarion because he’s a character in that world already. I didn’t invent him. I don’t have ownership of his voice and thoughts in the same way.

[@moonwatcher99]

@@literallyjustgrass For me it's more that they're actually willing to consider the complaints and actually think about them Contrast that with the total passive-aggressive tone that the Starfield responses had, and it's night and day. When you have that many people saying the same thing, and the response is basically 'You don't understand our Great Vision because you're doing it wrong!' it's not going to endear you to the community. (I personally am usually fine with just accepting something as-is, but I saw some of those comments and responses, and I was shocked that no one was fired over it.)

[@celestialcthulhu773]

I love Swen's take on concept art. It's not meant to be the basis for the final end-goal, it's to explore what world and tone and environment you want to experience and not to inhibit that with: 'Well, here's the ONE concept art we did, time to start making it.' I adore Larian so much!

[@20storiesunder]

Yeah, I've seen folks fall into the concept trap way too much. Heck i've seen it happen with concept demos, pivoting the direction to better match the demo (never ends well)

[@spacechannelfiver]

its not exactly an original take is it, its just part of the art/design ideation process.

[@alconeuskhan4747]

The way Sven talks about crunch and overtime etc is exactly how the rest of the industry should be. keep it up.

[@OfficialNinjaNoodle]

i listened to it as a sort of podcast while doing house chores. when did Sven talk about over time and crunch and labour stuff? im rly interested to see how a few game studios still try to give their employees labour rights and work only 8 hours a day unlike most studios where over time is the norm

[@cole9799]

I have 1400 hours of gameplay in BG3, these three people are my heros! its 35 work weeks of game play. Nothing has captured my attention since the early days of wow

[@OneWingedRose]

I'm continuously amazed at how replayable I find it. Like, I've similar hours to you and I've never used any mods or anything, so it's always the same locations, enemy spawns, gear drop locations etc. but I never seem to get bored of it!

[@1957DLT]

I'm approaching 1000 hours. Am currently running act 2 in Ghost of Tsushima, thought I'd hop over to BG3 and fire up a new character for a fresh run (to just get myself all set, get her out of the nautiloid...okay, get her to Emerald Grove...and Withers....) and here I am now in the Gaunlet of Shar and poor Jin in GoT is languishing.

[@emilsohn1671]

It certainly is the the most ambitious RPG released, I guess, since WoW which was ofc an MMORPG. But BG3 is the first game in a very long time that has such a massive scale, ambition and polishing that I have to look back 20 years to find something resembling it. I have not forgotten The Witcher 2 and 3; they are also up there, really excellent, but I do find BG3 to be a true S+ tier game, The Witchers IMO are A+ or S-.

[@vincenttichler5461]

Can I just quickly shout out the interviewer and all the people who came up with the questions. Some of the questions were really good and interesting and the interviewer did amazing with responding and giving the guests room to answer! Well done!

Astarion

[@boris2581]

I could say that this game is a masterpiece, a work of love or all those things that have been said millions of time. But when I think of BG3 there is always one thing that comes imediatly to my mind, this is how I felt when I saw the credit. This massive emptiness and this mix sentiment of joy and sadness. This is the first time that I experienced that kind level of emotion just playing a game and I can't thank them enough for that.

[@TheChaddisBack]

Sven looks like hes fed up with the game, and in my opinion thats a great thing because hes focused on his next project, and i want to play that lol.

[@enightc]

Sven is like any Gamer, once he is immersed in a game, he eats and drinks that game, which means his mind is filled with the New Game he is making and that is great. That is why he is done with Baldur's Gate

[@theKonfusion]

he's been on this project for like 6-8 years or so, it's normal he wants to do new refreshing ideas and stuff. Probably had cool ideas from year 1 but couldnt work on them until now.

[@stevejackson4340]

I think he is fed up with Wizards of the Coast, and who would blame him.

[@FactoryOfHorrors]

I’d say “done” rather than “fed up”. He can be blunt and matter of fact and I appreciate that about him. I’m also beyond excited to hear about their next project. Here’s hoping they do an extended EA again.

Big “Michael Jordan after his first three championships” energy. Which bodes well for his next project

Oh no! In past interviews Swen always said his favourite class was Wizard! He's been converted! The Sorcs have taken him! Lol, loved the interview, adore the game, got over 2k hours in it now and haven't even tried any mods or anything, thank you everyone who helped make it for us!

[@Hauke-ph5ui]

I think Swen is happy as long as he can blow up stuff with fireballs....one of the other devs let that slip in an interview once.

[@Lerppunen]

The Dark Urge is a sorcerer by default so probably that’s why he chose that class.

All 4 of these are brilliant. Jane an amazing insider and interviewer as always, Swen showing the difference between a good CEO who cares and gets it vs all these Zazlav style garbage modern CEOs, and the writing and testing and development teams putting in the care and attention and communication and crucially *time* to make it great. Other studios (EA springs to mind for me, can't remember the last game I enjoyed from them) could really change everything they do to learn from this and become a good gaming company again, but they'd still turn it into a money driver DLC machine because they can't help themselves. It's why we should really support and invest in smaller studios and independents etc.

I agree that “crunch” should be viewed as a last resort and not the standard in the gaming industry. Well done!

[@ANGRYWOLVERINE2060-ft2nc]

Obviously Sven wants to put this behind them and I understand that. He must be tired of saying the same thing over and over again. Yet I think it would be a mistake to say ok people you won't see or hear us for the next 4 to 5 years. There has to be some contact to keep the fans interest. Otherwise people will drift away and say well we can forget about them until 2029 or 2030 and the entire landscape for video games might change likely will change. So we need to still know Larian still exist and they are still hard at work and that will be hard if we just get dead silence.Just my opinion.

[@ShinPG]

Apparently you were right on in the money with the new channel they just created.

[@lennyslog2693]

BG3 really was such a special work of technical art, its incredible that it exists as it does and didn't go down a different route. What an honor to see the Larian team get to speak here, I'm truly proud of the team for listening and delivering as excellently as they have. I'll be sure to see what they have cookin' next :)

[@tehol1]

I love this team of game creators. I got the game when it released and could not get into it. The combat for me was just not working. I knew the game was good, just not my cup of tea I guess. One day I went to my buddies house and he was playing the game with another friend, they were doing an evil playthrough. I watched them play for about 3 hours and it made me give it another whirl. I am now 40+ hours into it and loving it. When I beat Baldurs gate Im going to go and check out Divinity Original Sin 2. Cant wait to see what they put out next. I will absolutely be part of early access whenever that is a thing. I wish them all the best.

I think what Sven said about having a good feeling was very important. The game doesn't need to be perfect, each game of this size is going to have its problems and will keep having them, but if you have an overall good time, you are willing to forgive small moments of frustration.

[@NovusGM]

I can not thank Sven Vincke and his team at Larian for making Baldur's Gate 3 and making it an AMAZING game! They have proven what can be achieved when you put your heart and mind into a game, and I thank the player base for the recognition. They deserve to be cherished and loved indeed.

My canonical story is good Durge. I love it so much, and as a fan of the first 2 games, it really resonates with me as a culmination of all the events and struggles I experienced with my MC in the previous games. That MC, unfortunately, could not achieve what BG3 Durge could achieve. So having this new story and that feeling of redemption just felt so good. Like, 20 years in the making, more than half my lifetime wanting that kind of resolution for this story kinda good. So good.

[@valkyrie-randgris]

Nah, @alenafraskova6903 is right about that one. (Admittedly, The scene worked WONDERFULLY my first playthrough, though only because my first playthrough was a bitter sweet DISASTER that would have made DA2's ending look upbeat. The accidental emergent narrative I stumbled into on my first go round was the exception rather then the rule.) An ideal situation probably would have been to have some sort of background flag/s set for whether he runs off by himself or something less... horrifically cruel happens, whatever that might be. (Similar to Shadowheart's various background points systems for her story choices. Maybe one of the other companions who doesn't have a scene still upcoming could be chosen to run off after him?) Or at the VERY least, have the player go after him and find him huddled up on the docks (like he is in his Origin run) if he's been romanced, and do so DIRECTLY after the other scenes conclude rather then just... sort of finding yourself in bed with him later. (Personally, I hate locking important character beats and empathy behind romance alone, but bg3 already does that, what with gating the proper conclusions of companion stories behind romances, so *shrug*.) I mean, I know they need to keep other character's story's rolling and not have the player cut away from the rest of the scenes, Karlach's scene in particular being very important, but... I mean have y'all ever DONE an Astarion Origin run where he remains a spawn? --Spoilers ahead-- but even if Wyll chooses to become the Blade of Avernus, the whole pack of dinks left behind at the dock after you run off is apparently incapable of suggesting that him and her go TOGETHER to Avernus if the player avatar isn't THERE for that scene. (There's also a very silly and simultaneous silent scream pose that every npc left behind does in unison as soon as Karlach's engine shorts out that, unfortunately, completely nuked the drama by making me ugly laugh.) If we can let THAT logic swing, clearly the ending could be a biiiit more optimized. (Which is VERY MUCH to be expected with a game this complicated!! I mean, they say as much themselves, and don't mean any shade. Only that it DOES feel a bit like some parts of the ending fell through the cracks/still don't add up exaaaaactly right.)

I got my golden dice - move on to your next idea - i wanna play it. Is Baldurs gate just good because of super high AAAA quality? - No, but it adds to it. (you are in Rockstar Land now) Was the writing good - YES!!!!! - Presentation? Perfect! That is how a story should be told. Make it with nicely drawn pictures and it works out almost the same. (not the same we know that) I know it was a risk and super hard to pull off. But even a step smaller would be super good. All the best for Sven and his great Larian Studios all over the world.

i played through BG3 twice. and both times i saw some congruency bugs or discrepencies that didnt quite work.

Making something interesting and impressive is more important than making something perfect.
