BG3, yes. Massive success.

Veilguard is a massive flop. It sold a lot compared to other games, sure, but based on the amount of money they spent and time in development, that was a shit investment. They were expecting like 10m sales, doing 1.5 instead according to whistleblowers.

I’m sure it saved time starting from the template from Hogwarts legacy. The real problem is veilguard isnt an RPG. Divinity original sin 2 is a better game IMO.

And from the same developer. It’s almost as though who makes the game is just as important. 😉

Dragon age isn’t a particularly good example. It was a massive flop.

There are always gonna be complainers. Like, I’m not super happy that Ciri seems to have undergone many plastic surgeries in a world without plastic surgery (but hey, maybe she popped into our world!), but it is what it is. Hopefully they at least contacted the original actress, otherwise I’m gonna be pissed at them, but if she said no, not much you can do.
