How about an Icewind Dale sequel? (self.baldurs_gate_3)

Or at least an IWD sequel in spirit: A game in the same engine as BG3, taking place in Forgotten Realms, but with a more linear main story and you create your entire party. Not that I dont enjoy having companion stories but I do also enjoy a simple dungeon crawler RPG.

Solasta is of course a good but less shiny alternative. I'm probably going back there when I tire of BG3.

Honestly, Pillars of Eternity is probably that IWD spiritual sequel you're looking for, then there's Pillars 2 and also Tyranny is pretty great. All of which are made by some of the original devs of IWD. As for an updated sequel graphically, man idk, BG3 has raised the bar so high, and that's a good thing but it's gonna be a long time before that happens.

Tyranny is an amazing game. Too bad Obsidian Entertainment got sold to Microsoft.

Pillars 2 was great as well, it's a shame it wasn't as successful as Pillars 1.

Pillars 2 devolves into a really crappy boat simulator very quickly and it really turned me off of it. It's a shame because pillars 2 gameplay is so much better than pillars 1.

It’s sad reading the developers comments over Pillars 2 failure and how it killed the IP.

They just don’t get what they did wrong and to me it is really simple. No one wanted a fucking boat in a turn based RPG.
