What is 80% completed ? The Black Hound ? That would make it even worse, why don't they simply release it then? Seriously missing those black isle game days.

Apparently so, yeah.

While there were plans for a full trilogy of games, The Black Hound was cancelled in 2003, reportedly about 80% complete, when Interplay lost the rights to the Baldur’s Gate brand as well and could not release a D&D RPG anymore.

Who knows where the data is sitting?

That’s probably because there isn’t really much to say about it.
It’s more a curiosity than anything else.

We could speculate a bit on what it COULD have been, but in the end it never went past a conceptual stage.
At least Van Buren got a playable vertical slice at some point.

Eighty-percent completion is considerably greater than the "conceptual stage". This is - arguably - a curiosity in desperate need of liberation smile.

The elves of BG3 are NOT elven.
