Larian Studios Won't Make Baldur's Gate 3 DLC, Expansions, or Baldur's Gate 4 - IGN
www.ign.com
At a Game Developers Conference (GDC) panel today, Larian Studios founder Swen Vincke dropped something of a bombshell by revealing that the developer isn't planning to release any expansions or DLC for Baldur's Gate 3, nor a Baldur's Gate 4.

tweet update:

Also - we’re not done with updating Bg3. There’s still a bunch of stuff coming like mod support and extra cinematics for some of the endings. Just not new content.

      I expected it to be much worse tbh. Some shifts, but quite regular in a way. I thought it would sound more unintelligible in a Scottish way.

      1. I’m not “complaining”. I balanced my comment quite a bit.
      2. There are lots of other possible voices besides formal and cockney.
      3. I didn’t say period Shakespeare, I said theater actors.

          Like, there’s dragon characters that have huge reptile mouths and they sound the same as wealthy city folk. There’s druids and people who were raised in the wild and they all sound similar.

          It just sounds like a theater troupe and less like very different creatures and backgrounds.

          It’s not a historical game or setting I’m not sure why you keep referencing any specific period.

            It’s not historical but medieval fantasy settings generally tend to be based around medieval European tropes. I guess I just assumed your problem was with period accuracy because there are variations in the accents. Karlach has a working-class accent, Asterion is posh, Shadowheart is middle class? british.

            It could be more overt, I suppose, or incorporate more than just british regional accents, but I feel like they made more of an effort than you’re giving them credit for. I really disagree with any of it sounding like a theater troupe, though, save maybe Dame Aylin but that’s in-line with her character.
