      Yeah playing DnD isn’t some blow against the right-wing theocracy establishment like it was in the 1980’s.

      Source: Was never allowed to play DnD as a kid because it was ‘Satanic.’ Grew up during 80’s Satanic Panic.

      Well that’s why they need to hire the original writers. I don’t think anybody would consider Baldurs Gate especially political, maybe expect for a few fringe right wingers. But Larian have the resources, technical expertise and know how to build a big RPG and if they bought the IP, I’m sure they would respect the source material. You wouldn’t want to make a Disco Elysium game if you where to afraid to get political.
