Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Tav isnt canon

Yeah but tav isn�t canon that was my whole point of the thread. It�s just a placeholder like hero or whatever. Project Gustav is probably the reason why it�s there which would make the most sense since it was bg3 Codename during Ea

I actually would like if tav comes from avatar what the previous poster said. Would be fitting

Oh, and yes my understanding is that "Tav" indeed was inspired by "Gustav", though that's not to say that Larian didn't consider that the name might be fitting for other reasons. When I first saw it (before I heard about Project Gustav) I wondered if it were connected to the Wheel of Time Ta'veren which would be quite fitting in some ways if entirely the wrong universe![/quote]


About tav there isnt anything deep because its already clear that it comes from project gustav bgs3 codename. For an avatar its not necessary. Tav is just like insert name here or hero. Your name is the canon one or headcanon however you wanna call it. With the bg2 lore its still very vague in modern days if it can be still considered canon because too many things didnt even make sense in the novel. Bg3 stays the players story at least when it comes to larian but they dont own the ip. If wotc touches this story and ruin it too i wont play any bg in the future for sure

avatar would make it an ultima game

But the latters are in tav. Avatar could be a possibility as well. in the end it doesnt matter its just a placeholder nothing more

you undermine my bad joke with your cold hard consensus of the thread that was never in doubt?

Dont want to go off topic but i miss the ultima series

What? I was sure it stood for Tlayer AVatar. Not some Gustav pupper :o

My character's name is Tav. It is canon to me.
