I think only Larian or CDPR would be able to do it justice BUT it would still be different. But with all the things they have going on now, this won’t happen. Sad day indeed.
Yep, Larian and CDPR could do it, but they're enjoying their own successes and have stuff on their plate already. Last one I can think of is Owlcat, but I'm not sure they're big enough for that kind of game yet. We'll see with The Expanse.
Yeah, puts a lot of pressure on their expanse game. Now it's also their pitch for Mass Effect. Fingers crossed, but it's their first foray outside CRPGs.
CDPR definitely has more experience for an RPG shooter with Cyberpunk under their belt. Their writing is similar in tone to that era of Bioware as well. I haven't played the other Divinity games outside of Original Sin 1 and 2, but I know they were action RPGs so Larian would probably be able to do a solid Dragon Age game. I really wouldn't want Mass Effect or Dragon Age to be made in their turn-based isometric style, though. And their writing is a little too unserious for my tastes. Their games have dark subject matter, but it's all undercut by overly whimsical/tongue-in-cheek dialogue, melodrama, and comedic moments.
Oh God CDPR would be a full circle moment considering the first Witcher utilized the Aurora engine, but yeah, with The Witcher and Cyperpunk franchises being so huge, I don’t know if they would be interested in squeezing in another studio’s IP to their catalogue. :/
Warhorse could too I think. Also, just because the studio is gone doesn't mean the people are leaving the industry forever. There is hope they go on to be successful and then could potentially return to the franchise.
