    I’m curious to see if other CRPGs also had big revenue increases from BG3’s success. After beating it I’ve bought Divinity Original Sin 2, Disco Elysium, Pathfinder WotR, and Pillars of Eternity II so far. I had never paid attention to the genre before and now I am deep into it.

      Larian are really the only ones that play nice with a controller.

      I understand that a lot of people play at literal desktops and prefer mouse/keyboard, but a lot more (regardless of PC split, it’s also almost all console owners) would rather play with a controller. Having an official control scheme for one is meaningful to broad adoption.

        I bought that on the GOG Anniversary Sale pretty much because I finished BG3 and was in the mood for something new but similar. Hadn’t paid any attention to the Dragon Age franchise before.

        I’m amazed at not only how well it holds up, but how much inspiration BG3 seems to have taken from it.
