Baldur's Gate 3?

Remove all ads!

Tal, you spoke about a sequal to Baldur's Gate some months ago, said that you was sure about a third part of the saga. So I wonder if you (or others) got any new infomation. Happy for answers.

Hmm... If BG3 would be the continue of the Saga what will be the story then, when you are a god? What if you have to create armies, and fight against the other gods' armies? Or defend your folk? And who will be the party ? That won't be a good idea... Now, you are a god, so you cannot die. May others. Have you got some ideas? What will be your stories?

 

Fools thats why there is IWD 2 and Neverwinter Nights to replace BG 2

 

Imagine in BG3 you could be a new priest kit:

Priest of (your name from BG2)

Like "Priest of Davaeorn", if I had used him to beat TOB.

Or how about Baldurs Gate(an RPG) turns Real Time Strategy? Instead of the party of 6, you lead a whole army!

I'd really rather it stay as an RPG. I'm on board with Blackthorne, don't continue but make references to the other parts. Maybe move it towards Waterdeep to the North rather than South.

 

Why should it stay on the prime plane? I think it would be cool to play on a different plane.

 

You seem to be forgetting the ending choice of not becoming god. It could be a continuation of that. It would probably turn out like IWD or NWN in the fact that you wouldn't have anything particularily special about you

 

Hey it could be story about heroe's(half-god) children

 

I don't know what would be a good idea, but the Baldurs's Gate games hold a special place on my computer. They are such excellent games that drag you into the storyline and hold a certain magic to them. No offense to go out there to NWN lovers, but NWN really doesn't hold the same status in my book as the baldurs gate games.

 

I love the BG series but it's time to let them rest. To make a third game would do a grave injustice to BG and BG2 (including their respective expansions.) Really, what's left to do? There's not much fun to be had playing as a god, what can kill you? where's the challenge? And of course there's the other path, not becoming a god. What's left to do there? by the time you end the game and if you elect not to become a god you already are uber powerful anyway.
Let the saga end, it's a classic series of games, don't destroy it by proposing more ideas for a story that has ended.

 

According to a note that I read (I believe it was in the ToB manual) the Baldurs gate series was intended to be an "epic trilogy." However, Throne of Bhaal counts as the third installment of this trilogy.
To be honest, I believe that Throne of Bhaal was a satisfactory finale for the whole series and anything after that would be rather ridiculous. The story has ended, the battle is over, the "Where Are They Now" has been written, and I really don't want to see Haer'Dalis on VH1. End of rant.

 

I too think the BG saga is finished for good.

Though it is a shame for such a good series to end there is nothing great left to do.

And i wouldnt want to see it turn into Might&Magic games

 

Instead of BG3 I'd rather whant a new storyline at a new place, why not in the huge city Waterdeep, using the infiniy 2d view of course.

And let it be bigger, like BG1, and 2 in one game, and most important...much harder.

Almost forgotten: KITS!!! No damn 3'd edition or something like that, let it be just like BG2!

 

Any new game would likely not be AD&D, since 3e is going to sell far more copies. It's the newest, so naturally the most popular.

Also, while I would love to see a resurgence of the Infinity Engine, Bioware and BIS did say that IWD2 would be the last IE game.

 

I've just found this news:

It says that Interplay plans to make Baldurs Gate 3 with the Graphicengine from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

I've just checked the page out. The "news" is from May 2001. Let's face it, there isn't going to be a Baldur's Gate 3, ever. The story finished in TOB. Bioware are only doing NWN-related stuff (shame!). Black Isle are doing Dark Alliance 2. Icewind Dale II is almost certainly the last ever commercial Infinity Engine game. You need to look to the BG2 mod community to seek new thrills - there's a Dragonlance mod in active development and the authors reckon it'll take as long as SOA to go through when it's finished.

Finally, if there WERE a Baldur's Gate 3 game in the works, don't you think we'd have heard something? It would be the biggest release of the year.

I dont know if I should laugh or cry.
Even Pool of Radiance RoMD is better than NWN, and that says alot I think. IWD2 is good though, but lightyears away from the BG games. There is no substitute for Baldurs Gate period.


But sadly, as said, if there was any plans of a BG3 I think we would´ve heard something to.

*Decides to cry after all*
