There&#8217;s a lot of them,&#8221; Vincke said. &#8220;This has been a real problem.&#8221; Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3 was the surprise hit of 2023, earning myriad game of the year awards including from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/baldurs-gate-3-wins-game-of-the-year-from-new-york-video-game-critics-circle\">the New York Video Game Critics Circle<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/the-game-awards-2023-winners-the-full-list\">The Game Awards<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/gayming-awards-2024-winners-baldurs-gate-3-wins-over-tears-of-the-kingdom-and-spider-man-2\">Gayming Awards<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/game-developers-choice-awards-2024-winners-the-full-list\">Game Developers Choice Awards<\/a>, and more.<\/p>\n<p>It is surprisingly draining on the soul.<\/p>\n<p>Vincke insisted he was still appreciative of the awards, as &#8220;it&#8217;s great that you have a moment of celebration&#8221; and Larian does &#8220;really appreciate it,&#8221; but sending key members away to each award show seemingly left the development team fragmented.<\/p>\n<p>It &#8220;would be cool if everybody could agree to do it all at the same time,&#8221; Vincke said. &#8220;It is surprisingly draining on the soul.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This continued focus on Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3 also stopped Larian from getting closure, he added &#8220;We&#8217;ve all been more emotional because we can&#8217;t get closure, and you want to have closure at the end of a project.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That being said, Larian has paid plenty of attention to Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3 itself in the myriad updates released following launch, but perhaps Vincke is implying there wouldn&#8217;t have been so many if the game wasn&#8217;t so successful.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/baldurs-gate-3-mod-support-sounds-like-its-final-major-update\">The final major update is due in September 2024<\/a>, when Larian releases <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/baldurs-gate-3-official-mod-support-arrives-this-september\">official mod support for Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3<\/a>.
