Yeah I suppose I agree. But it is intended to simulate the taple top experience and their games do exactly that. I've never seen a DM do any grand open world, it's also small on foot strolls like in these games. I would like to see what larian could do if they could bring in their branching paths to something with the scope of Slyrim/The Witcher 3 and perhaps even real time combat in the way the outer worlds or the new Xbox exclusive by obsidian does. My fear though is they'd have to make too many sacrifices but if anyone could do it, it'd be them. They've already went with full cutscenes the next step is getting an over the shoulder camera and a combat system working... God, Imagine how great Divinity Original Sin 2 was remade into a real time action game like those titles and kept all it's intricacies intact. 😍 

This is actually a reason why I haven't played their games in single player. You get SO MUCH more enjoyment out of their games when you're playing with friends because it's a simulation of the tabletop experience. 

Larian truly is a special studio in that regard. Swen has already said their next game may release by 2028, which I feel like would be a short amount of time if their next game doesn't continue the types of games they make. I feel like their games are too large to be able to properly bring that experience to the scope of a Skyrim or Witcher 3. 

My dream Larian game would be an isometric Fallout game! I would lose my shit if that happened

You gotta have friends to play with friends 😆 but I imagine it would be alright and yeah, I hold no hope they will go that direction, it would indeed be much complexity to make work, they'd be patching bugs for years.
