Okay we can't keep having to go accept these rewards, it's wrecking our production flow. So we hired Larry here to be our official award acceptance guy. Oh and those new shelves have been finished so we'll be getting all the trophies out of the break room by tomorrow.
First name: Larry
Last name: Ann
Larry actually goes to award ceremonies and says "wow guys, we are so thankful for this award but can't accept it. Like, literally can't. There is no more space to store them, Jim had to give up his office and the cleaning crew is complaining too. So yeah, take this back please"
Could you give us, instead of yet another reward, some competition? Like, any at all? We want to do even better, but have nothing to compete against. Please. We can even pay you (in free trophies, no micro payments needed).
Are you fucking listening, Todd?
when has Todd ever listened dude. he's too busy working on a game that takes 1400 hours to fully explore but has 2 voicelines repeated a billion times whenever you walk by an npc.
meanwhile a 25-person studio like supergiant records like 20 different voicelines for when you pause during a certain situation in their early access game.
Oh, he's got access to Miscrosoft's arsenal of AI resources now.
So expect 4000 hours of gameplay (or 2 hours of gameplay repeated 2000 times), and a load of NPCs that all sound like voice assistants.
Bethesda is one of the few studios where that would be an upgrade in writing. I'm so sick of their half-assery.
I enjoyed Skyrim I'll be honest, but that was a long time ago now. In that time we've had The Witcher 3 moving the goalposts and Baldur's Gate 3 putting them on a different planet altogether, and the idea of a sea of badly lip-synced talking heads telling me to try to find their obviously dead relatives who've gone flower picking in Murderfang Cavern just isn't going to cut it in 2027 or whenever Elder Scrolls 6 is supposed to be out.

I love how to get like 85% of the shit in Morrowind into Morrowind, members of the team would just gaslight Todd with actual shitty shit so when they showed him what they really wanted to do, he was like "yeah ok, just don't do that other shit you showed me."
Where can i find news about this?
This is the industry's plan to finally catch up to Larian. Sadly, they still haven't figured out what they actually need to be doing with all of that free time though.
And the best part:
Larian isn't going to get shut down by some shitty vulture capital firm which bought up a ton of studios and then killed them all when times got tough.
No you forgot to step or forcing them to develop a crap game with a bunch of micro transactions that no one buys because it's full of micro transactions. Then they shut the studio down for being unproductive, never mind that it was made unproductive by their decisions.

I'm still having so much fun with this game that the lack of DLC hurts my feelings, lol! I'm just amazed they didn't give Larian a blank check to do anything DLC wise once the awards kept flooding in.
Oh, they definitely could have done DLC. But they didn't want to. They just didn't feel like it. And I think this shows how great this studio is. Instead of making a shit-ton of money with some mediocre DLC they instead opted to follow their passion.
I think any DLC would have been far from mediocre. Given how much post release support they've done, I have no doubt DLC would have been stellar. But that's my point, the passion for the core game is so clear! But I'm excited to see what the mod community can do with good tools.
Might just be my opinion, but DLC in this game would've had to be what we used to know as an expansion pack. Think Age of Empires games where the expansions added completely standalone campaigns.
Im currently on my 3rd playthrough once I found out you can recruit Minthara as good guys:X. I learn alot of new things every playthrough.
