Lead System Designer Nick Pechenin from the Larian Studios confirmed that as of now they have no plans for any DLC and will keep on improving BG3 through updates and patches.

That's pretty good to hear. I swear this developer gets it. They released what's said to be a fantastic game. They didnt release a physical then listened to people who wanted one. No dlc. Man thank you larian

There are some games where DLC is welcomed, this is definitely one of those games

[shinoff2183]

I'd rather a finished game just be finished. Especially this day and age with physical releases being screwed around. Wrap the game up and use those resources for the next one or new one.

I don't mind either. But if devs can use the same assets, game engine is already there and with a game as successful and praised as this one, then why not extend the life of the game and add to it, added DLC for this would take months instead of years waiting for a sequel.

As someone that had literally never paid for DLC ever, and I mean ever, as no DLC has ever been worth the price (except for the witcher 3, but I bought the goty edition), I probably would for this game.

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.

There's so much they have to do post level 12 spell-wise to reign things in, I feel. It's that power creep that makes it really hard.

[Einhander1972]

I disagree, the balance of D&D is kept in check by the increase in difficulty of the enemies or the quantity in the case of crowd control.

And Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous which I enjoy equally to this game absolutely flaunts "OP" allowing you to be 20'th level and on top of that allows you to literally become a D&D god class character with abilities not normally available to characters yet it's incredibly fun and still extremely challenging especially at higher difficulties. In fact I would say that even with the OP gear and abilities it's far more challenging than BG3 save a few boss fights.
