I don’t know how I feel about this. I would like an expansion, maybe go to Avernus and gain level 13-16 or 13-20 even.
All I know is that personally I want more D&D stories. And again personally, I really am not interested in Divinity which from their commentary I assume is what they want to get back too. I do understand that Divinity is royalty free for them and they might make a lot more money per sale of a self published Divinity game. But Divinity just never grabbed me, I own both the recent games and I didn’t finish either, the second one honestly didn’t hold my interest even to the second act.
I would really like their next full game to be something like Icewind Dale which was basically just a short village section then the rest of the game was just fighting through a dungeon with minimal story and dialog. I feel like that would be great and actually make the multiplayer viable. The multiplayer in BG3 of course is not that great because you can spend hours just talking to NPC’s without combat so it only works in very dedicated groups.
Which isn’t to say I wouldn’t like a full blown story BG4, but a Icewind Dale style game would make a great interlude that could be made much much faster or even by a small team while the main team worked on BG4.
This is just my opinion.
