Will there be a BG 3?

*sigh* That's my ideal job for the future gone.

The BG series is complete. To make another part in it would be like T3:RotM: unwanted.

And no IWD hack and slashfests but serious roleplaying, like Torment.

100% agreement from me there. I always liked the infinity engine, and would have loved to see more games. On the issue of hack and slash, personally I loved IWD, but then I loved PST also - I can get along with both styles of game, getting something different from each. I do think IWD (and IWD2) could have been a little less linear though, it doesn't make for the most interesting replay.

I just don't ever want it to end

The way I see it, the Baldur Gate storyline can still continue. I don't see anything wrong with a BG3 Though which company will develop it is different matter altogether.

That true and my main problem with the IWD series, it was too linear, really fun at first but no matter how diffrent you tried to make your character the next time it was still the same game

Explain to me how there would be a BG3 anyway. I mean, I know Black Isle is gone, but how could the story possibly continue?

You're pretty much god-like, you've taken on the strongest mortals in Faerun in a war, went through Watcher's Keep, killed dragon after dragon, had the chance to become a god, what else is there for you to do? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Does the term " War On Heaven " mean anything to you?

Forget the whole Bhallspawn stuff. Create a new central character.

To quicken and cheapen the making of the game you use a lot of the same scenes, like the docks and temple districts of Amn. Just set the scene 20 or 30 years earlier perhaps before the "anti magic" felings had grown. You could use some characters at a different age in thier lives to add fun and a sense of continuaty. Outside of Amn you could have all new venues.

If there was a strong will this could be made. I would buy it for sure

I also loved the infinity engine...perfect graphics engine for RPG's on PC as you said...but haven't they stopped using it completely now? I thought IWD2 was the last game to implement the engine...
