The example of Larian Studios can inspire, but not everyone wants to follow their path.
The full version of the role-playing game Baldur's Gate 3 has become a big hit. Some industry participants are looking at the Larian Studios project and highlighting something useful for themselves.
Recently, CDPR co-director Michal Nowakowski, during an interview with PC Gamer, noted that Baldur's Gate 3 inspired the developers, but they will not repeat the Larian game formula:
Baldur’s Gate 3, really inspired us, but we still stick to the approach laid down in The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk [large-scale open worlds]. However, we don’t just want to make another game in the same spirit, only with better graphics. We want to bring innovation.
Nowakowski did not explain exactly how this would be implemented, but clarified that the game will not be similar to Divinity or Baldur's Gate 3:
We definitely won't make the game like Larian. This is the type of game they can make. However, much of how they interact with the world has definitely been a source of inspiration for us.
