Will they make BG3?

Surely if we all said "pretty please" they might consider it?
It would be great to make an Everquest single player version for the Forgotten Realms.
Start with Faerun and add Kara-Tur, Lorein, Evermeet, Halurra on as expansion packs!
A bit like Microsoft Flight Sim if you see what I mean. It MUST use the BG2 char and carry on the romance!!!!

the story is over for your bg2/tob char. sorry.

how else would they work the plot considering the different endings?

if i had to put money on it, i think we'll see a bg3 (sucessful game begets a sequel ad infinitum) but it won't be:

a) an infinity engine game. (tob does a rather nice job of demonstrating the limits on the engine)
or
b) using the bg2 char's in their final form. (to further their progress would be way way overkill, note: most chars by level 20+ are actually watreed down by pnp standards)

***SPOILER***

Hehe, I would like to see how my god would do later

But perhaps, they could make "Grandchild of Bhaal" where you have got a kid who shall venture a bit

From what I have read, the last game to be made (considered to be made, actually) will be IWD2, before Christmas, probably. I have heard that Baulder's Gate games should continue, but it will be a start from scratch game with a new story and main PC char.

Yeah, the new BG title for PS2 is coming out sometime in the fall (hopefully,) but like you said it's a brand new story, brand new PC, brand new places - except the actual city of Baldur's Gate, which is where the story (kind of) begins.

I bet that game will suck.

trux · 08-14-2001, 08:33 PM

I'm not sure it will suck so much as just be different than what we're used to. The computer BG series are my favorite computer games of all time, so a new one will be hard-pressed to compare.

Well, the PS2 BG will have MUCH better graphics, obviously, but I have a feeling it's gonna be more hack-n'-slash and less storyline, like a lot of other games (might and magic series, etc.) I hope there's good roleplaying in it.

Also, your race/class options are significantly decreased in the PS2 game. I think you can only be a mage, fighter or cleric, and only a human, elf or dwarf ------> but I'm not sure about this.

we will never know till they post it out do they

frankly i dont think anyone can defeat a nearly god like character, it is pretty boring to be able to cream anybody except other gods. but we will never know for sure...

off-topic!!

anyone seen dune the emperor... AWSOME GRAPHICS!!! they complely remade the entire game from dune 200 that supports 2d only into a near 3d in the dune emperor game with cool graphics.. i hope that will happen to bg

Hmm, don´t think their will be a new Baldurs Gate, however the DoD universe is big and so is the world of Faerun, and there are lots of places left explore. Personally I would like an offspring BG2 IWD style of game. One where you try to solve some of what the towncriers were blurting out all the time. Could be fun the more freely explore the world.

Also more of the Planescape universe or Greyhawk could be nice..

So well I wont lie sleepless over the BG end, but if there will be no more games like this..

Well, I guess we will have to wait and see!

i think they should continue where you make war on the gods... of course, this will never happen but a guy can dream cant he? i got a special bug in my craw about Mystra... and if her 'protector' Kelemvor steps in, then i'll just have to deal with him too...
