Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Only a couple of months to go.....

Anyone else deliberately not viewing Larian's new reveals?

Not me, I'm watching and reading everything they give us! I’m trusting Larian to only share stuff that they don’t believe is going to spoil the experience in their official reveals. Not that I’d be able to avoid info moderating here!

I wouldn’t look at any leaked stuff, though, if there were any.

Im genuinely keep track most stuff is exciting for me, unless it has to much of larians sence of humour, i generally dont find the sillyness funny,
Ill keep checking and trying to keep my hopes high

That was my plan, but I watched everything so far

I am watching all the reveals!!!

Yup, that could be tricky in your position

Weak! :DDDD Its so tempting but I want to immerse myself in the world not knowing what's ahead!

Yup, the silliness and PfH are not really my thing. Still love Larian so far....

Nice!!

Same here ...
All trailers (usualy at least twice ), all deep dives that several youtubers offer, all speculations, datamining, leaks, and stuff. >:]

And i never get enough! Muhahaha

I find keeping up with the game interesting. Plus I enjoy all the discussion to be had about it. I'm not all that concerned about spoilers since i'm not especially excited about the game. I'm sure I'll enjoy it but unless things shifted in such a way that our Tav gets a proper breadth of dialogue options to allow a proper breadth of personality traits to be embodied, I doubt that it will even make it onto my top 10 games list. It may not even be in my top five games of the year.

Ive been reading everything, and I cant wait for the next Panel from Hell.

Maybe I'm not good at following the news. Tell me, are Lorian planning to release books, comics or a cartoon based on the game?
As for me, the cartoon shown in the last update was wonderful!

AFAIK such stuff is almost invariable produced by the franchise owner - or a license taker, so that's up WotC's alley.
IMO any books and comics would definitely be produced by WotC, not that I'd expect Larian to have capacity to make those.
No idea about Larian's capability to produce cartoons in bulk.
In other words - tie ins are possible, but not likely to be made by Larian.

I’ve not heard anything about tie-in media either. And also loved the cartoon so would totally be up for more work from its creators.

There is, though, already a D&D comic called Mindbreaker which seems to be a kind of prequel to BG3. That’s the sixth in a series starring Minsc and starting with Legends of Baldur’s Gate, telling the story of his reincarnation? resurrection? cloning? in the late 1400s and culminating in Mindbreaker with the story of how he and his friends uncovered a sinister new cult in Baldur’s Gate that was implanting mindflayer parasites into people . I don’t know what input if any Larian writers had into the comic, but at the very least it’s clearly based on the conversations they had with WotC about the BG3 premise.

I feel as though I should be on commission as I keep mentioning those comics lately! I promise I’m not actually in the pay of their publisher . Though I would recommend them as good, if fairly shallow, fun as well as an intro to some of the context and characters we might meet in BG3. Duke Ulder Ravengard makes an appearance as well as Minsc, and it seems possible that once we get to the city we might encounter other folk from the comics too, such as Krydle who is part of Minsc’s new gang and the son of Coran who was a BG1 potential companion.

Wasn’t there a card game based on BG3? I don’t play those and just saw some in passing…

Oh yes, I think there were some MtG BG3 tie-in cards published though don’t know details. Is that what you’re thinking of?

You mean this?

Probably yes! I don’t think I’ve seen the whole set before, and it looks as though they reference other BG games as well as campaigns like Ravenloft and Descent to Avernus, but I think the BG3-specific ones are what I’m remembering at least.

Thanks for sharing.

Yes those!
