I‘m hoping that none of this is mentioned in BG3 so I can just ignore it.


Ah I did not know about the Murder in Baldur's Gate.

I know its silly to think so but I prefer to pretend that Abdel Adrian does not exist and my Bhaalspawn is chilling happily on the Planes.

I do like the fact that any mention of Gorion's Ward in the game is very ambiguous right now, just that they existed, but who they were was left out. I can only hope it stays that way.



I don’t think that is silly. I concur completely. Murder in Baldur’s Gate gives a conclusion to the story of Gorion’s Ward that follows neither of the endings from ToB, and that pretty much no fans like. And Abdel is pretty universally reviled. I have my own head canon, too, so I hope that Larian finds a way to address the date of the Bhaalspawn in a way that is general and doesn’t intrude too much on the imagination of fans from the old games.
