Larian Studios may not be developing Baldur’s Gate 4, but any potential successor to Baldur’s Gate 3 will need to push immersion further to stand out. One underutilized aspect of Dungeons & Dragons that could help achieve this is language. In Baldur’s Gate 3, nearly all NPCs, regardless of background, speak Common, making communication a non-issue. This simplifies interactions but misses an opportunity to deepen the roleplaying experience.
