I'd be fine with Dark Urge as long as it's the default one since that seems to be his "canon" appearance I'm not, since that is neither the race nor the gender or class, I play for my Durge, so no - it would be Revan and Gorions Ward all over again. I'm sick and tired of games giving us choices and then decide on a 'canon' character anyway for reuse purposes.

Netflix would be a huge mistake for doing a project like this. They have a bad reputation after the Witcher fiasco. They had everything they needed to be successful and yet they managed to achieve failure from almost guaranteed success, which is in itself astonishing. They are also notorious for bailing on projects midway through and going for quantity over quality in everything they make.
The only way Netflix achieves any success is if they have no hand in making it, it's made by an independent studio, and Netflix just buys it put's their chevron on it and that's the end of the involvement from them.
Amazon is a mixed bag, they have The Boys but they also have The Rings of Power - which consumed so many resourced that they had to pull other more successful projects or trim their budgets - they don't seem to have a good process for quality control - just the lack of awareness that they spent 1 billion dollars to make a show that is utter nonsense is also astonishing. Did no-one with critical thinking skills read that script?
Everything Apple makes is over-sanitized, preachy trash. They are too worried about their brand to make anything that's good.
HBO is the best bet, but even they are under new management as it were.

They could also just not have Tav or Durge at all, and leave the complete Tav/Durge experience as game-exclusive. The story can work with just the six non-custom origins as protagonists.

Personally I'd kinda like dark urge. The story behind the origin is interesting.
They could pick another origin to follow.
Just don't let Netflix do it.

I am worried, based on the level of emotional investment members of the community have in the game, that canon romances would be received rather unpleasantly by certain corners of the community.

That would my least problem - if they pair Shadowheart wit hAstarion or Lae'zel with Gale (which would frankly be hilarious  ), but yeah, I guess some people would not be happy.

That's one of the reasons games like this can't really be adapted well. A new story, or maybe vignettes showing some characters or events before/after I'd say is the way to go.

There is a lot of wisdom here, I do not want to see them do a series or movie based on the game. I would rather see them do a DnD based series and let BG3 inspire it.

God I hope Larian provides someone else then Netflix with this. After the Witcher we know that Netflix is not the way togo.
As someone stated before me HBO is probably the best bet. Amazon kinda screwed both Wot and Rop so they are basicly a nono.
Or just make sure that they do NOT let the executives of the ones that get it to choose the writer.
Hmm unless they go the Anime way. Arcane was awsome so if they succed in building something like that im all in.

Did no-one with critical thinking skills read that script? I don't mean to turn this into an Amazon or ROP thread, but I just wanted to thank you. You voiced (or typed, rather) exactly the problem I had with the trailers, the PR, and the clips shown by reviewers both positive and negative. There was, as far as I could tell, virtually no internal review on any aspect of the series. I even caught Amazon in the act of editing one of the trailers after another poster and I commented on an obvious problem with it - but even that edit merely highlighted the issue rather than actually fixing anything. But anyway, that's not what this thread is about. Back to lurking I go...

Making a live action or animated series following the story and characters of BG3? lol, lmao even. The shit show that would come out of it would be rather glorious, from it probably being bad (Netflix and to be honest others aren't any better) to just making certain choices/events canon is not going to make people happy.
The best they could do without making everyone mad is make an original story that happens before or after the events of BG3, something along the lines of Edgerunners (the Cyberpunk anime)

I'm not sure if I want a series based on BG3, but I agree that Honor Among Thieves was great.
I like Netflix's Cowboy Bebop (it definitely could've done better), I didn't watch the Witcher series (I didn't play the game either, not an RPG).
I think the best course of action if WOTC were to approve another movie product is the sequel for the film.
The BG3 probably would got canonized into a Novel or something, it's inevitable. -- Whether you like the canonize lore, is another matter (you probably not gonna like it while thinking your headcanon is the best canon, it's not, it's sucks too, mine is better).

Well at least a novel has the merits of not costing the budget of a nation, and relatively few people will bother reading it so like previous novelizations it can easily be ignored.

The copyright holders of the world of Faerun are not Studio Larian. I HOPE no one will sell the rights to Netflix
keep in mind that everything you say will be translated by Google and misunderstood

It will be matter when it used as the base lore of the next game. Just like how abhorrent BG3 is for those who sanctified in-game lore from BG1/2.

They didn't use the novels that much; Jaheira dies in them.

I want a series based on BG3 / Faerun / DnD, but I don't want it by / on NETFLIX The last WITCHER season was so cringe, I had to stop watching halfway through episode 4. Also, remember Resident Evil? Or that nonsense with colored British royalty or whatever. LOL
