I see. And do you have a source for these upper city quest triggers? Or should I just accept this on faith, like the above list?
If they're thinking about the same ones I am, someone posted them in the big Reddit comment thread on the Community Update. I think it was several lines that indicated there was an Upper City map distinct from Lower City and from the ending gauntlet 'Upper City.'
I'll file that under hearsay, thanks.
It was conclusive enough that a dataminer who was arguing there was no evidence for the Upper City in the files ended up admitting that there was
some evidence. It matched the code used for triggers to enter area maps such as Moonrise. So, a little more than hearsay. It was something like BG3_LOWER_A, BG3_END_A, BG3_UPPER_A, BG3_UPPERCRYPT_A. Lower is the city as is, End being the climax location, and Upper not corresponding to any location in the game as is. Not exactly a map full of content, sure, but evidence of something.
I assume you mean this comment by theredwoman95 and subsequent conversation?
https://www.reddit.com/r/BaldursGate3/comments/164tswd/comment/jyakfb3/If so is there any reason you omitted the tiny little detail that the location tags are from almost 3 years ago? All the other dataminer (Gattman) ends up admitting, is that there was likely an upper city area at least considered in early development. They suggest it was likely removed when smaller regions of the city were combined into larger ones, but that is really just speculation.
That is very very different from the claims that the upper city was a complete separate zone in addition to what we got being cut from the game at the very last minute. There appears to be no evidence of that at all, and it doesnt even sound feasible to me. Theyd be mad to make changes of that scale a couple of weeks out from launch.
So all we really seem to have on this upper city business is that misleading quote from Sven. God knows what possessed him to say that, but Im sure he regrets it now.
Unless anyone has anything more concrete?
