Baldur's Gate 3 has pretty much taken the gaming world by storm this year, and, with it now primed to potentially take home a lot of hardware at The Game Awards, the game’s director has suggested that this success is encouraging Larian to aim high with its future projects.

Though, it seems like Larian founder Swen Vincke already has his sights set on the future.
