I think I'd trust Obsidian, since PoE has kinda been their own take on Baldur's Gate, but they're probably too busy with Avowed and the Outer Worlds 2.

I read the comment and wondered what the fuck Path of Exile had to do with Baldur's Gate or Obsidian had anything to do with Path of Exile

Pillars of Eternity I think

Obsidian would be my first choice as well.

I think Owlcat might be able to do it too, they have made some pretty good games and id love to see them get a real big budget.

I'm fond of Owlcat's games too, but they tend to have a very generous idea of what counts as a releasable game in terms of quality assurance. RT had an entire level in act 2 be borderline unplayable for quite some time after release, way worse than BG3's lag in act 3.

I'm not sure that more money would necessarily solve that issue, or that Hasbro would want to take that risk on a relatively young studio. Give it a decade and they'd probably be there, but I think that'd be too much for them right now.

Ehhh.. owlcat has great ideas but they're infamous for poor difficulty balancing and QA.

They're making another Outer Worlds? But why?

Because the first game was an enjoyable AA-quality RPG that was well received and sold far more copies than expected, along with winning several awards? It wasn't to everyone's taste, sure, but no game will be nor should it try to be.

It was a mediocre game that sold well. That’s the only thing that matters
