Larian isn't even close to AAA studio and their previous games have been great with wide critical and user acclaim.

What are you on about?

I think you may have misunderstood the OP and actually agree with him. He's saying that AAA studios (sometimes) spend more money to produce lower quality products, and that claims from some AAA studio devs that you shouldn't use BG3 as a new standard are just them trying to excuse their own mediocre offerings.

>>izacus+(OP)
I mean there are companies which can be described as having much more resources yet performing much worse.

>>izacus+(OP)
So how do you describe a 400 person team? Mid-level?

>>skipke+c1
Yes, usually they're called "AA" studios.

Big companies that don't quite have the mega multi 100 million budgets of massive conglomerates like Ubisoft or EA.

Skyrim and Fallout 4 were made with about 100 people each. Witcher 3 had about 250 developers, and Cyberpunk 2077 closer to 500. Larian's Baldur's Gate 3 team has over 400 people, 10 times the developers they had for Divinity: Original Sin (1).
