Baldur's Gate 3

"Developed by the creators of Divinity: Original Sin 2, Baldur's Gate III is the official next adventure in the venerable Baldur's Gate series. The teaser trailer shows a return of a malevolent presence to Baldur's Gate, intent on devouring it from the inside out, corrupting everything that remains in the Forgotten Realms. The fate of the Forgotten Realms lies in your hands."



WHAT?!

WHAT THE F*CK?!

If this is good, it would be a good Baldur's Gate game.

Yep. A lot of BG fans are pissed about the change.

I prefer turn based to real time though (I've never played the older BGs, but I'm endlessly pissed about Final Fantasy 15 and the 7 remake), so it's great for me.

This may be a unicorn then.


An Infinity Engine game that is actually playable.

Maybe dropping that horrid engine has something to do with that.

Nothing.


If you like bad gameplay.


At the time, I suppose the Infinity Engine was alright, but compared to alternatives even back then its a clunky, unintuitive mess, only a step ahead of ASCII games like Nethack.

Here is the full cinematic intro for the game:



It's pretty awesome. You have illithids, dragons, a spelljammer, even some githyanki it seems.

I remember in BG2 the illithids were so damn annoying to try to fight, especially if your party was not prepared to fight them.

My introduction into this series was Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, and it was one of the best couch co-op games out there. It's a sub-series that departed a bit from the main games, as it's purely an action rpg like Gauntlet or Diablo rather than D&D. And you only actually stay in Baldur's Gate for the opening bit iirc. It was so well done though. I played through with a friend and loved it.

I will pass on this though, and it is because of the combat system. I enjoy both action and turn based games, so I was open to Baldur's Gate 3 until I saw the gameplay videos. This particular brand of turn based combat is not for me. I get they're trying to recreate a table-top D&D experience, and that's a perfectly fine niche to fill, but it's not what I was looking for.

A new Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance was finally announced last December. News has been sparse though, possibly due to COVID interfering with development. I think they actually dropped the Baldur's Gate portion of the title due to it not being all that connected to the main series.

I admit I'm not a fan of turn based for BG. I will give it a shot, but I'm returning the game if it sucks.

Still, you should try playing BG2 then. Get the enhanced edition. It is an excellent game. It's not like diablo...it is real time combat, but you will wanna pause and decide what you want each party member to do usually(up to 6 in your party, including your character).

Great game. Like I said, get the enhanced edition.
