My only quibble with this is that I'm not sure I'd classify larian as a AAA studio. Not when you're comparing to Activision or Bethesda or something. The game is absolutely amazing, I've put over 700 hours in and am still playing it. I can't think of any of the big AAA studios releasing a game that comes close anytime in the last decade.
