Baldur’s Gate 3 is a story-rich, party-based RPG set in the universe of Dungeons & Dragons, where your choices shape a tale of fellowship and betrayal, survival and sacrifice, and the lure of absolute power. (Website)

While I won't say BG3 is the apex of DND games - some improvements can be made as evidenced by th modding community - trying to one up it within the next 5 years is going to be an uphill battle.
I'd much rather see a fully fleshed out campaign generator that can be updated with new rules.
Or, as @HeartyOfGlass suggested: campaigns as DLC/developer mods!
I was thinking a dnd game gen where players and a games master could play together, basically taking the table top games straight into a video game.
Even the BG3 devs don't want to compete with BG3.
I really love that they stopped working on the DLC because they didn't feel like it. They could have made a lot more money, but they wanted to make something else, so they stopped.
Makes sense. Proper DLC would have to interleave with base game which is a ton of work. So easy solution is to make DLC as a separate “game” which would just not work that well.
They could print money by releasing published D&D campaigns as DLC for Baldur's Gate 3. Why rebuild that excellent foundation?

It would be the PERFECT way to breathe some new life into a masterpiece after many of us have completed the main campaign too many times for it to still be interesting but still ADORE the game and want to keep playing it!
