Not much info yet: https://baldursgate3.game/ Trailer below: So any thoughts about Larian doing it? Personally i hope the graphic style more resembles original BG games than Original Sins (i liked both OS games but in my opinion something closer to orignal style would be much more fitting). Anyway i am hopeful and pumped. Edit: Illithids as a main theme - i dont know how to feel about that yet... | ||

It seems like they're using the city of Baldur's Gate, but I don't think Baldur's Gate ever was about the city. The city was probably the least polished part of the original and rarely mentioned in the 2nd one. | ||

DoS2 is a fucking brilliant RPG, I am 100% sure they are gonna do a great job making a worthy successor, plus they got the time and the money to make the perfect version of their game inXile? (Torment - Tide of Numenera, Wasteland) Obsidian? (Pillars of Eternity 1 & 2, KOTOR2, Tyranny) Thinking about it, I would like Obsidian to do that more, just because how dark the PoE was, but I don't mind these guys doing it either. Anyway, Cthulhu in a BG game?  I'm sold.On June 07 2019 04:48 Bacillus wrote: I'm having a bit trouble figuring out how they're going to connect it to the original series. The original story arc is as complete as it gets. I guess you can drop in some familiar characters and items, but that's probably it.

The city was probably the least polished part of the original and rarely mentioned in the 2nd one. It should be 100 years later after BG2. So IMO no connection unless they allow necromancy  | ||

I wouldn't mind it if they really did justice to the franchises by creating a new classic. But time after time it ends up as a mediocre game/movie that is completely forgettable if not for name stealing. So yeah I agree, wish it would end too. Cynical money grabbing at its worst. | ||

*Actually, I think the cancelled BG3 was going to be more connected to IWD2 or even the Dark Alliance series? It's been so long since I've been into any of those, I can't quite remember... The first time I saw the city overview was from the 5e adventure Descent into Avernus reveal stuff and couldn't help but think "gosh, that sure looks CG and like it belongs in a video game..." and it's cool that I was right! When the trailer hit and I saw the soldier starting to transform, I was hoping it would go in the devil or demon direction. A mind flayer was not expected and confusing, I don't get why they went that route. But I'm happy to see a BG3 coming out. Crossing my fingers it's interesting, most CRPGs in the last few (eh, several) years haven't held my attention for very long, I'd really like this one to. Torment: Tides of Numenera let me down kinda hard and nothing else has grabbed me except the Kingmaker game which (after many months of bug fixing and DLC adding) finally moved the bar that was set by Icewind Dale, Fallout 2, and Planescape: Torment when I played them ages ago. I really want to find time to finish Kingmaker and go back and play and finish BG 1-2, IWD 1-2, and P:T... | ||

Its not BG2/MoB/Torment 1 but they are still very good in my opinion. New Torment kinda put my out in the begining still have to come back to it. Well Tyranny was short because the premise was you will play it at least 3 times, preferably 4 times with different choices. Not sure if the western world is prepared for such games but it was an interesting concept. (I believe there are 4 endings, not sure though) | ||

Then I hope you are already playing Pathfinder: Kingmaker as it is not based on old franchise but it is equally awesome. | ||

Then playing Kingmaker now would be perfect time as they just released Enhanced Edition and last DLC. | ||

Thinking about it again just now, one game I loved at the time but always forget exists is Shadowrun Returns. Never played Dragonfall or Hong Kong, or at least I don't remember playing them... I was even on a tabletop Shadowrun kick at the time, too. Is my memory just that bad and everyone else really likes them? | ||
