Larian Studios head Swen Vincke suggested that the Baldur's Gate 3 developer's next game could be out in 2029, but then again, maybe not. "I don’t know, we’ll release it when it’s ready. They’re big games and it takes time, so don’t hold us to a date."
Bigger budget means more people and more time which let you spend more time on the little details. They were capable of BG3 after D:OS2, whether they did it or not. They’re still capable of it. There’s nothing special about the BG IP that means they can’t make a game of similar quality in any other setting.
Their previous games, like divinity: original sin 2, were also amazing, though somewhat smaller in scale/budget
Sure, but playing through D:OS2 right now, there’s still quite a bit more in BG3 that was special.

There’s more than little details that I appreciate in BG3 over D:OS2, but I think that’s just a team that got better at their craft.
