Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General BG3, DOS and the D&D rule-set

Did you know that the original creators of BG1 and BG2, had begun creating a BG3 that had *nothing* to do with the previous stories, with NONE of the previous characters and was going to be turn-based. LOL

I wonder how some here would have reacted to "Baldur's Gate III: The Black Hound (2003)" from Black Isle Studios (dev) and to Interplay (planned publisher).

nb : I am not saying it was necessary to use the term Baldur's Gate 3, but Black Isle Studios had some rights for that term/IP, but not of other names, so they had planned on using it. Of course, Larian is not the original creators of BG1 and BG2, so it is not the same decision/choice and is of course about marketing. Still ironic to see the original BG3 was going to be a whole different story with turn-base combat.
