Baldur's Gate 3 Is Far Bigger And Stranger Than We Thought - Larian's Swen Vincke Interview

After a short demo of Baldur's Gate 3 we caught up with head of Larian Studios Swen Vincke to talk about the size and scale of the game, the freedom it offers players, its multiplayer and if you can tame pets.

After a short Baldur's Gate 3 demo we sat down with Larian's founder Swen Vincke to talk about the early access plans as well as the huge scope of the game.

Currently the first act of the game that is realising with the early access version is bigger than the entirety of Divinity: Original Sin 2, with more to be added to the locations, classes, spells and races as development on BG3 continues.

While multiplayer will be in the game when Baldur's Gate 3 (maybe) releases in early access in August 2020, there is not currently a Dungeon Master mode in development.

@rawkstar007: Carried away? Divinity 2 beat Witcher 3 in my book as a game but sure. I'm not really into GTA clones.

@Sound_Demon: I think that divinity 2 is the best game of the past ten years.

@walbo: Larian usually starts work on console versions immediatly after the PC release. Hell they even release their games to Nintendo Switch so it's inevitable this will come to the PS5.

I wonder how the cutscenes and dialogue will work for split screen couch co-op. While I'm super happy to see so much more detail put into it, I don't imagine it can work the same as Divinity.

I'm only interested in this if I can play the campaign with friends, so I hope that's what they're referring to by "multiplayer". A DM mode might be cool but maybe as a separate game or DLC? The game already sounds too big (never thought I'd say I was getting too much for my money ;) but I'd rather it be developed into smaller chapters with each chapter helping returners and new comers alike remember who everyone is in the story.

@Smokin105: They let you play co op in Original Sin and Original Sin 2 so I'd be surprised if they didn't carry that option over into this.
