Baldur's Gate 3 Announced, Coming From Divinity: Original Sin Studio

This could go either way. I enjoy the combat in the Divine Divinity series but the story and character interactions are very lacking.

Probably I will love a Larian RPG but... why Baldur's Gate? There are too much in risk here.

1. Will be real time + pause? Probably I would have no problem in turn base but for sure I won't like a change of genre (worst would be an action rpg like Divinity 2, we have the Fallout 3 example so it is possible to ruin things even more...)

2. Will continue the same plot? BG is an ended story, we dislike all the changes Beamdog made to a beloved saga, would be terrible to continue a saga (and even worst if the story/game is not as good as the original).

3. If it will be another genre, and/or, another plot... Why is called Baldur's Gate "3"? Maybe for sales have all the sense to break a franchise only to sell few dollars more, but not for us, not for the fans.

Nice, but that trailer showed nothing. It's as useful as Elder Scroll VI reveal from last year's E3. While I'm optimistic they'll do a good job with the game, I need to see gameplay footage before I consider buying it. I saw in another article that they might not use isometric camera in this one. I pray they won't turn this into a 1st or 3rd person game. That just won't work well when controlling party members during combat.

Sweet. Coming to PC. Would have missed out if it was Stadia exclusive.

I'd really like to know what Dungeons & Dragons system this game will use. Prior Baldur's Gate games were based on 2nd edition, largely, and D&D is now up to 5th edition. My guess would be that it will use 5e rules, as that's the current rules set and the 2e rules are a seen as a bit archaic at this point, but it's also possible they might maintain the 2e system for fidelity between the games (although I would be quite surprised if characters could in any way be ported from the older BG titles into the upcoming BG3).

Worst case would be Larian using an original system and using the D&D races and classes as window dressing. The Baldur's Gate titles were among the best in PC RPG adaptations of D&D, and if BG3 does not actually use D&D mechanics I will be severely dissapointed.

Wishlisted that puppy on Steam.

Disappointing this amazing announcement was co-opted by Google for their crappy platform. There is no way this is exclusive to Stadia.

Go Larian. You are probably the only developer left who can do this series justice.

Yo, that looks intense.

bout time

This is great, but I want Dark Alliance 3 as well.

No one gives two shiznits about Google's silly toy, but here's a big HELL YEAH for Larian doing BG III.

I want a Divinity OSIII !

Not on consoles? wth?

“Baldur's Gate III will also be available for PC”

Whew. Thought this was going to be an exclusive or something.

Wow. Huge news! They definitely got my attention. I'm a Baldur's Gate fanatic!!!

Time to shine Stadia. Show us the games!
