I am reminded of Dungeons and Dragons: the cartoon...
If BG was made into a TV series... well, it would have to be VERY professionally done to get 'right'. You'd need:
- Dungeons and Dragons advisors from Wizards of the Coast
- The writers and designers of the computer game
- That guy who wrote the books
To help the TV crew, and that's be a difficult battle between the three factions to establish a 'generic' Baldur's Gate for the small screen.
Next, you'd have the licensing and merchandising problem. If 'Wizards' and Boiware were to see a BG tv shoew, they'd have to relinquish the rights to the BG name. PErsonally, I never feel it's a good idea to give a license to anyone who is not the creator of the project.
Both reasons prohibit such a series. But I agree, the episodic nature of BG in general would lend itself well to a TV show.
