I saw this back when Bester first posted it, but the evidence for it is pretty tenuous to say the least.

That aside, I hope if it turns out to be true that it is just BG3 in name only. That story is done, and I don't want to see it dredged up and raped further. If it is just a fantasy RPG that takes place on the Sword Coast then I am fine with that. I'm not sure what Larian would put out narrative-wise, but at least it is likely to be turn-based.

I dont really care about BG anymore. The games were fantastic for me, when I knew nothing else and just bought the games in the shop out of a whim. I spend countless hours on these games.

This cannot be reignited. Smile

I always felt BG II was overrated - the whole spell mechanics (which were crucial on harder difficulties) were a mess and patches even completely rebalanced them which showed how much a mess it was. Love the games for their stories, characters and setting but dear lord, the combat is overrated. Dragon Age Origins had far better combat.

I think DA: O was more flashy having finishers and somewhat fancy 3D graphics. But the character customization lacked any kinda of depth. The melee classes and Ranger had access to one set of skills (5 in total if I remember right). For me, Mask of the Betrayer was the apex, using the much more refined DnD 3.5 to create what I would call the best RoTW RPG.

I wasnt into the finer mechanics of the game when I first played it. Just played it how it came. It was only a few years later, when I got the internet, that I started to read about how to powerplay the classes etc. that these flaws in the mechanics became more important.

Though I am still not one to stress too much about these details as long as the mechanics work good enough and are not gamebreaking and I can have fun progressing my characters and getting through the story.

Hello.
I made a google search, for Baldurs Gate 3, because I Play Baldurs Gate EE and I'm impressed by it's quality.
It was the first time I have play a strategy RPG. I have only play before games like Skyrim.
Anyway, I find you talk in your forum about the part 3 of Baldurs Gate and nowere else are talking about.
So, I made a account to ask you about.
Do you have an information about when it will be out?
If it is to go out in the next year I have to rush my play trough to the first and second part.
If not, i can consider to spent some more time in Warcraft.
Thanks.

If it ever comes out, it will be in a LONG time from now sadly Sad

Why even call it that since the story already concluded at the end of ToB?

Oh I know, just to cash in on people's nostalgia instead of making a game that can stand on its own merits. Mad

They can call it Baldursgate and make it about some alt-right human conspiracy against the poor oppressed Drows.

God, I would kill for a proper JA3, even if JA2+1.13 is still a masterpiece.
Like DCB said, the child of Baal saga is done, but a new story in this universe would be fantastic. Also, bring back 2.5D, it works waaayyy better for these kind of games IMO.

Larian already denied the rumors that they're working on the game. Someone claimed they had bought the rights to Baldur's gate, they said that's false and they're focusing on their own stuff.

Interestingly enough, Beamdog also said they're not working on BG3. I would have seen them as the most likely candidate since they're still working on the older games. They even worked together with WotC to release voice packs + portraits of new characters based on a weekly live DnD game WotC is running on Twitch.



Clearly they must go with the best studio possible: Bioware.

They wanted to, but I gather they have lost their chance. I am guessing that WotC (wisely) told them they had to first audition by successfully developing and releasing their own full game before they'd approve a BG3. But that project ended up being scrapped, and Gaider quit (or was let go), so I would think they are done. They are reduced to grovelling for scraps to keep the doors open, like your Twitch example.

I'm glad even in rumours t's probably maybe not Beamdog.

I'm against halfbreeds in FR so I want to mount half-orc heads on my wall, not be mounted against a wall by a half-orc who wants head.

This. Pillars feels so lifeless, like someone (I blame Josh Sawyer Wink had a checklist, went with it and never thought "will be this fun to play".

I noticed Owlcat Studios had played a lot of Pathfinder pen-and-paper before they had a chance to make the game – the devs had run the campaign module series among themselves several times, which showed a genuine love for the Kingmaker modules and the world


This, again. To put it simply Pathfinder is amazing, from the start it feels like a labour of love. Yes, it's based on existing property, but it just has this unmistakeable aura about it.


Of course Avellone might be bitter because he was screwed by Obsidian, but I agree with his opinions.

Avellone is bitter, but he has every right to be. I don't even know how a founder/partner got his stake revoked, but I'm no business guy.

Anyway, I don't get why they didn't make him head for Pillars. If he was in charge, the games wouldn't have been so bland. He understands that RPGs just aren't about combat mechanics. Story and player interaction with the world is what matters.

It's why I could never get into the Icewind Dales. Too much combat, so little player interaction with the world.
