Yes it has BG3 as a title its based (largely) in balders gate & follows a story 100 years later ....this is not trying to be a sequel to the other 2 games - its drawing on the influence of those games & yes it is a bit of marketing there but this is a new vision - the 3 games can exist in the same world setting.


Did....did you actually *play* the BG series?

If you did, you'd know that BG 2 never even goes to Baldur's Gate. It's set primarily in an entirely different city, as well as numerous other locations along the Sword Coast and then straight up into other planes of existence. But it's still a BG game.


What’s your point? My point is whether the game is entirely based in ballers gate or the sword coast or forgotten realms this is a new entry, a new studio with a new vision for the game. I personally know balders gate from all the fantasy novels, from playing D&D for many years. The name draws you to the forgotten realms and Dungeons & Dragons it is not trying to make a direct sequel to bg 1&2. I know there are still hoards of fans of those games & neverwinter nights etc and that’s fine - but instead of complaining about how it’s not the same why not embrace something new & another take on a vast adventure in the same universe ?
Why are so many determined not to allow themselves to enjoy a modern day game. We all have favourites but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy a new experience.
