Larian Studios has 450 employees, and BG3 completely blows any other modern RPG out of the water in terms of the sheer amount of fun content inside the game

Baldur's Gate 3 was in development for nearly six years even with asset reuse and basically being the only thing that Larian was working on. And that isn't even taking contractors into account (BG3 credits around 2300 workers).

I don't think you're making the point you think you are.

Larian Studios has 450 employees...

Exactly, you need a massive team to live up to expectations for AAA games these days.

Many of the assets were reused from previous work (DOS 1/2). They did put in an insane amount of work over a very extended period, though.
