So you've finished Baldur's Gate 3 and now you want to see if these Larian guys have ever made any other games you might be interested in? This is a [[link]] great time to do just that, because every RPG the studio has ever made is currently available at some deep discounts on .
We'll start at the beginning with , a sprawling, open-ended 2002 epic that made me a Larian fan for life. It's heavily aged at this point but if you don't see the primordial roots of Baldur's Gate 3 in it, you're not looking. And it's less than $1! What else are you going to buy for that?
Next is , the 2004 sequel: It's very much like the original but lets you control two separate characters. I recall the voice acting being brutally awful but otherwise I loved it. Also 89 cents.
Then we have , an updated version of Divinity 2: Ego Draconis that includes the Flames of Vengeance expansion. I was a little put off by this one because it broke away from the isometric view, but "Ego Draconis" may be my favorite subtitle of all time. Yours for $3.
After that we have , and this one is a little offbeat, mashing up a political sim with turn-based and real-time strategy and also allowing you to turn into a dragon so you can personally go out there and kick some ass. I won't lie, it didn't float my boat, but I always respected Larian's willingness to just go for it. $6.
, the game that , is also the project that finally pushed the studio into—or at least toward—the big leagues: A huge party-based RPG in a highly reactive game world that made RPG fans sit up and take notice. Did we give [[link]] it the in 2014? You bet we did. $8 for the Enhanced Edition.
Then came , Larian's real breakthrough: A masterpiece RPG that would be the crowning achievement for any game studio that didn't go on to make Baldur's Gate 3. Also PC Gamer's "obvious choice" for . The Definitive Edition of the game is $13.49 on Steam.
The only Larian game not on the list is its very first game, The L.E.D. Wars, an RTS that came out in 1997. Aside from historical curiosity, I don't think you're missing much, especially since we're all here for RPG action.
So that's at least a year's worth of quality RPG action (if you hustle through them—if you dawdle you can probably stretch them out until Larian releases its , whatever that is) for just over 30 bucks. I'd call that a deal. For the record, is on sale too, but at $48 it throws the "holy cow that's cheap" curve way off. The big Larian sale on Steam runs [[link]] until September 9.
