By the way, I'll repeat it here once more: the Baldur's Gate III Twitter account is, without a doubt, the most pathetic account of any upcoming game. Ever. It's clear now what we suspected initially: Google paid Larian to announce the game much, much sooner than they would've by themselves. I can bet any money I have, which is none, that at that point only the cinematic was complete.
Given Larian cannot even get their canon straight in their own series, I can't wait for them to start canonising things from a series they had nothing to do with, this can only end well. Although from reading the last few pages, seems Wizards already shat upon the BG2 endings/choices so what have they got to lose?
Why would Google pay Larian to do anything? Obviously I am missing something here, does Google have a stake in Larian or something?
Why not? It has already been done before.When am I going to see my husbando, Dorn, though? They can't leave me hanging like this, especially with how they tease with Neera.
They don't "tease" Neera, he just mistakes a very similar character with her. As I've mentioned before, they can't put in characters who had multiple possible epilogues, since then they'd have to take your choices from previous games into account (I would be absolutely astounded if Larian did that). That leaves those characters from Baldur's Gate I who didn't either die and/or moved onto the sequel and/or wouldn't be dead due to natural causes + a handful of characters from Baldur's Gate II who had a single epilogue which left them alive and have long lifespans. And, of course, Minsc.
e.g., Viconia was definitely not romanced because she's still alive.

I thought this was common knowledge. Abdel Adrian (True neutral human fighter) is the canon Bhaalspawn, he romanced Jaheira and cheated on her with Bodhi (former elf vampire villain from BGII). Both women died, Abdel rejected godhood and remained mortal and lived out an extended life span as one of the leading citizens of Baldur's Gate until he got killed by his half brother (the last Bhaalspawn) at 139 years old. His death brought about the long delayed resurrection of Bhaal who resumed his original portfolio.

There's some doubt whether Abdel Adrian exists and which Abdel Adrian that is. Search for that name in thia thread and you'll find what people have been talking about concerning this.
But CHARNAME is never named in Descent into Avernus afaik, which is the latest book to have come out. He is referred to but never as Abdel.
Because of BG3.
Most returning players do not want to partake into the fantasy of that fan fiction tier character being canon.Because of BG3.
I don't see the connection.

When was the last time Abdel was named in an official publication? Murder in Baldur's Gate is from 7 years ago and the Adventurer's Guide is from 4 years ago. My thinking is that WotC and/or Larian expect at least some people to go back to BG1 and 2 in preparation for BG3. But the forced canon party in BG2 was controversial even when BG2 came out, so forcing another canon when D&D has never been as popular won't be a good PR move. It's much safer to assume people will play BG1 and 2 rather than assume they know what's written in Murder in Baldur's Gate and the Adventurer's Guide.
This site drastically overestimates both the amount of people who play pnp games and the overlap between pnp players and people who play CRPGs.I promise you that Baldur's Gate 3 isn't going to produce a meaningful spike of interest in the old series. I know of 7 new D&D players broken in by the 5e who, while interested in Baldur's Gate 3 partly because of Larian's involvement, were surprised to learn there was a different Baldur's Gate aside from Dark Alliance (even though I told them about this several times in the past, long before Baldur's Gate 3 was announced). For them, all thought and perception about the first two games ended there.
I have no problem with that, yet once you get into his romances and what not it paints a different picture.I'm just going to ask, "Assuming it isn't an amorphous gray blob, who else do you think the canon Bhaalspawn would be?"
The entire concept of Abdel Adrian (just like human fighter from Divinity Lucian being the canon Divine in the Divinity series) was invented because the True Neutral, "Good to his friends and terrible to his enemies" Dudebro Human Fighter is the most vanilla and inoffensive example of a hero the Bhaalspawn could possibly be. It's the overall most appealing concept that the largest number of consumers can easily identify with without getting triggered.
