Lead Baldur’s Gate 3 Writer Emphasizes Passion Over Profits for Potential Sequel
Larian Studios’ narrative director, Adam Smith, has expressed his desire for any future Baldur’s Gate 3 sequels to be driven by passion rather than financial gain. Speaking at the Digital Dragons Conference in Krakow, Smith emphasized that he hopes any potential Baldur’s Gate 4 will be created out of a genuine desire to tell a compelling story, not just to boost earnings. Larian Studios is finished with Baldur’s Gate 3 and Dungeons & Dragons, but Smith encourages future developers to approach the project with enthusiasm and creativity. Reflecting on Larian’s work, Smith highlighted the thematic depth of Baldur’s Gate 3, hoping any sequel would come from a similar place of inspiration.
