I'm unironically interested in making an application for Larian's studio in Barcelona in a couple years since a friend of mine tried it and asked me for help given my "expertise" in cRPGs and the tasks he got were pretty cool. He had to develop a pseudocode algorithm for determining the priority in cutscenes to play out when resting at Camp and to design a flowchart for a quest that kept in mind all the possibilities accorded to the player by the D&D 5e PHB, not to mention all the possible ramifications given by player choice (like killing crucial NPCs or trying to mess up the order of planned events) avoiding deadlocks.
Unfortunately my friend lost interest along the way because he's not a fan of the genre, but I was kinda impressed. I'll probably have to delete my messages here when the time'll come

15 days until the mandatory 60 day cool-off period. Larian needs to patch their underdeveloped land whale.
Divinity 2 on release was unfinishable. Act 4 was extraordinarily buggy.

Dex to 18 is on another plane of disgusting compared to 17 int and no one complained about it in older Baldur’s Gates. We are fine. It’s a gimmick for multiclass heroes.No, I didn't. I actually said the opposite. How bad is reading comprehension around here?You straight up said it wasn’t a thing in BG2 dumbassLet me get this straight - cricisim of BG3 isn't allowed if the completely unrelated as story and gamepay two games from 20+ years ago had the same flaw as the one being criticized?
Wow, that's what "discussing the game" is like, huh?
"in a game where unlike BG/BG2 you can already raise your attribute cores with feats, it is a bit much" - In BG3 (due to 5E) you can raise your attribute scores with feats, whereas in BG/BG2 (due to AD&D 2), you can not raise your attribute scores.
This isn't the flaw I'm talking about. The flaw, if we accept it as such, is having items which set your ability score to a high value. BG/BG2 have, if I remember right, items that set your STR, or DEX, or CHA to 18. So, it's a thing in the old games (where you can't raise your attributes with feats), but also in the new game (where indeed you can raise your attributes with feats). That's what my point is.

By the way, in some vid about playing BG3 past act 1 was mentioned an item increasing dex to 17 or 18 too.

Larian has always been consumer friendly in regards to DRM and post release content.
I don't think they will even make an expansion for the game and will start working on their next title.
Expansions never sell nearly the same numbers of the base game. If Larian doesn't want to keep releasing smaller DLC, it would make more financial sense to just release an entirely new game and keep all those people working.

Baldurs Gay 3: Refuge of the Man-Child
These items are a D&D staple. After all, people who don't keep rerolling until they have all 18s across the board deserve a chance, too!
(of course, this zoomer crap probably has point buy)
Ok then. I didn't mean to state "BG3 is shit because it has OP cheat items!" I just said I watched a video about the itemization and it seems to have OP items same as the old games, only this time around you also have the chance to raise attributes from perks in addition to those OP items. Just wondered how other people are feeling about this news.
