Just posted it in another thread but i guess the name "Baldur´s Gate 3" was an unfortunate decision because the only common ground to the predecessors is the setting in the Forgotten Realms in and around the city of Baldur´s Gate. Unfortunaly nothing from the predecessors will be continued but what the title "III" implies. In reality Baldur´s Gate III is "just" a new campaign. The big outcry of many fans could have been avoided if the game had been called "Baldur´s Gate: NamedItWhateverYouLike" but not "Baldur´s Gate III".

However it was no accident that WotC released a new campaign for the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop game: Baldur's Gate: Descent in Avernus last year when Baldur´s Gate III was announced. It tells what's happened since Baldur's Gate II and plays 100 years after Baldur´s Gate II. The problem is that the story of the tabletop game must fit into Baldur´s Gate III. It was certainly a mandatory requirement for BG 3 from WotC. So the name "Baldur´s Gate III" was just a sales strategy decision at all.

Well, still looking forward to this "Baldur´s Gate" game.

No. This is not Baldur's Gate 3. After watching the demo, this is most definitely NOT Baldur's Gate 3. This is an otherwise fine looking D&D game that happens to take place in and around the city of Baldur's Gate (I assume anyway, since BG2 wasn't even near the city of Baldur's Gate), but this by no means deserves that '3' in the title. Not even remotely.

Drop the '3',


Most definitely dont drop the "3" , this is Baldur's gate 3 and it should stay that way forever. What a ridiculous argument, I'm sorry but why would any company make another "classic nostalgia" looking Baldur's gate or any DnD video game anymore anyways .. Computer's and video cards have evolved and people don't live in the past anymore they want new good looking visuals and gameplay.

What I've seen so far fits in the next generation of gaming and at the same time keeping with the 5th edition rule set for DnD. When I pick up this game I'm going to feel in the future playing a DnD game that evolved with time. The gameplay they showed made me feel like I was in a DnD fantasy setting. If your a true DnD fan you will play this game unless you only Judge a game by it's nostalgia or visuals. There's more than that to be a true DnD. I feel most people live in the past and don't want to evolve.

And by the way, unless you were living under a rock, Larian studios gaved us lots of signs that Bg3 was going to be different than the classic one's. For one, they created DOS and it was very successful. So people are acting like their surprised that BG3 doesnt "look" like BG2?? seriously. very weak argument.
