This is a really good interview. tl;dw is...

their next game was going to be D&D, but they changed course and are doing something else now
Vincke has a vision for "the one RPG to rule them all", and each of their past three RPGs is a step closer to it
the next game is not going to be that master vision but one step closer toward it, with their previous 3 RPGs proving out emergent design/multiplayer, story and consequence, and personal stories/performance capture, respectively
Vincke would like to have this next game done in 3 years compared to BG3's 6 year development cycle, but realistically expects 4 years, as long as there isn't something like COVID-19 or a war in Ukraine to impede their progress

I know Lemmy hates it, but I really think AI could play a core part in the future of multiple choice RPGs.

I’m not saying let it be free and build the entire game, but if you train a model to be a certain character and add limitations so it doesn’t go too wild, then that could be massive imo.

Still have a human storyline and imagination behind the game, but use AI like the tool it is for certain parts.

100% the future. Like has anyone put all the billion pages of lore from TES into a GPT finetune? Surely that would make better dialogue than HALT! for the 900000000 time right?
