I'm curious to see if other CRPGs also had big revenue increases from BG3's success. After beating it I've bought Divinity Original Sin 2, Disco Elysium, Pathfinder WotR, and Pillars of Eternity II so far. I had never paid attention to the genre before and now I am deep into it.
Maybe Dragon Age Origins, too.
I bought that on the GOG Anniversary Sale pretty much because I finished BG3 and was in the mood for something new but similar. Hadn't paid any attention to the Dragon Age franchise before.
I'm amazed at not only how well it holds up, but how much inspiration BG3 seems to have taken from it.
DA:O was made because the company that made Baldurs Gate 1&2 lost the rights to make 3
I actually got BG3 initially because people were saying it was so much like Dragon Age Origins.
