Hey... Baldur's Gate 3 IS indeed coming out. It's called BG3: Dark Alliance. it's due in the beginning of november.....the thing is its coming out on PS2 only, i think, it's a lot different, has nothing to do with the infinity engine, and from what i hear you can only be a fighter, mage, or cleric.....graphically, it looks okay, but i extremely doubtful that it will live up to the BG namesake, all things considered. the only similarity it will have w/ preceding BG games is that it takes place in the city of Baldurs Gate.

i didn't know they were making an Icewind Dale 2....i hope they make it a lot better than IWD 1 was (all hack-n-slash, monster after monster after monster, and boringly linear).....they should take a cue from BG2 and Throne of Bhaal and make the next IWD a lot more involved and not ALL HACK 'N SLASH!!!!!!!
