He is right. The glory of BG1EE has yet to be surpassed. BG2EE comes close.

News flash: the Ultima 7 engine is better than the Infinity Engine.

Make an Ultima 7 part 3, or a sequel to Teudogar, and this whole Baldur's Gate fad will pass right quick.

You really think that EA is going to let anyone touch anything named 'Ultima'?

 

[Volrath]

I'd rather have a new campaign for an amazing 15 year old game than some new garbage.



BTW, who is aVENGER? Maybe Trent, Cameron or Phil? Just curious.

Thou art correct.

No reason to move away from the IE.

Haters gonna hate.

WoTC says something different. Unless they want to implement 5th edition in that engine.

I don't see why they wouldn't want to do that. I still want to repeat what I said earlier:

If they choose to use a different engine for BG3 (Unity) there's no way in hell that they can bring in the complexity and functionality that they would be able to achieve with still using the IE.

 

[DDZ]

If they use 3 or above it will suck cock.

 

[Infinitron]

I hope they license Pillars of Eternity tech.

 

[Rake]

I hope they license Pillars of Eternity tech.

There is nothing wrong with PoE tech. And i will LMAO if BG3 turns to be better than PoE using the same tech

 

[Volrath]

People ITT actually believing BG3 has a chance of happening, by BEAMDOG of all fucking people

 

[Excidium II]

There is nothing wrong with PoE tech.

Besides it being Loading Screens: The Game

 

[Infinitron]

Sadly, we won't be able to track this game's sales performance on Steamspy because it's a DLC.

But the number of people playing BG:EE when it comes out can serve as a proxy.

 

[Bester]

There is nothing wrong with PoE tech.

> Hard limit of ~100 NPCs per area.
> nothin wrong

 

[CptMace]

Only 100npcs ? Damn that's terrible.
How many rats though ?

If Dragonspear sells well, then yes, there is a chance -- unfortunately.

It won't and it hasn't

That's the spirit.

And any units over 80 means you'll be getting like 20 FPS.

 

[Immortal]

And your save file will take 10 years to load if you pick up too many cultist masks.

I'm likely one of the biggest Baldur's Gate series fans here and I hope that BG3 never happens.

I had thought that Baldur's Gate 3 was called "Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance" and was developed by Black Isle, the ones who made the previous games.

Pictures were posted earlier of this so called game.

[Edit:]
I just found this out, Baldur's Gate was supposedly going to be ported to the Dreamcast.

I still don't understand the reasoning of porting games to platforms that they don't belong on.

 

[Ellef]

Nobody wants a BG3 by the current development teams going around at the moment.
