Baldur's Gate 3 won so many awards that it started to "affect development", forcing Larian to send "rotating teams" of devs to ceremonies (www.gamesradar.com)

I'm still having so much fun with this game that the lack of DLC hurts my feelings, lol! I'm just amazed they didn't give Larian a blank check to do anything DLC wise once the awards kept flooding in.

Oh, they definitely could have done DLC. But they didn't want to. They just didn't feel like it. And I think this shows how great this studio is. Instead of making a shit-ton of money with some mediocre DLC they instead opted to follow their passion.

I think any DLC would have been far from mediocre. Given how much post release support they've done, I have no doubt DLC would have been stellar. But that's my point, the passion for the core game is so clear! But I'm excited to see what the mod community can do with good tools.

Might just be my opinion, but DLC in this game would've had to be what we used to know as an expansion pack. Think Age of Empires games where the expansions added completely standalone campaigns.

Im currently on my 3rd playthrough once I found out you can recruit Minthara as good guys:X. I learn alot of new things every playthrough.
