A Kotor 3 would be very story focused, so I don't think they'd fit the best bill either.
Their combat is very fun and characters usually intriguing with branching side stories, but the core characters and elements have often always felt flat to me. If Kotor 3 is our Return of the Jedi to Kotor 2's Empire Strikes Back/makeshift not entirely done PS:T, it needs to have a spectacular ending.ĬDPR has never been very good at story either. Larian has very solid worldbuilding and characters but they always stumble on their plots and endings. Backed by Microsoft I'm sure they could pull it off.
The originally pitched Kotor 3 by Obsidian is still by far my favorite one, and although there has been a lot of talent exchange over the years I think they could take up the reigns again, assuming a one to one thousand chance they get Avellone back on board for a purely freelance relationship.
