Game News Baldur's Gate 3 Community Update #1: The Secret Sauce of Dungeons & Dragons

No matter how Baldur's Gate 3 turns out, the nice thing is that we're going to get more amusing Swen Vincke videos. The first video for Baldur's Gate 3, published as part of a new series of development updates called the Larian Gazette, tells the story of how Swen got permission from Wizards of the Coast to make the game. I think it might be a bit embellished, though.

​

There's nothing new here in terms of information, but it's a start. You can sign up for the Larian Gazette on Baldur's Gate 3's official website. The game will also be appearing at the PC Gaming Show at E3 on Monday, although it doesn't sound like any big reveals are planned.

release date when

 

[Ulrox]

They should make it a live action game where sven is the main character.

Make this, a full motion video, video game!

 

[Mr. Magniloquent]

The guy giving him a tour, called a Beholder a Mind Flayer. Ugh. Hopefully he doesn't make decisions.

 

[abnaxus]

Sven Wincke.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

So no scantily dressed squidfaces?

Spoiler

Yeesh!!! Beholder is more than shocked.

He did say "offices" right and not orafices?

I hope that this kind of humor stays just in the videos.

 

[HanoverF]

Go for the eyes, Swen!

 

[Morkar Left]

Bleh, WotC studio looks like such a poser place...

But the vid is entertaining and we have already a good Swen character portrait:

So cringy it's hard to watch.

From latest articles, not likely in 2019.

There's also no release date quite yet, with Larian telling us it may not debut in 2019--as Vincke says, it'll be ready when it's ready.

time stamped when you can see the pain in Swen's face after he says "emphasis on trying" of when I leaked Baldur's Gate 3

 

[UnknownBro]

I can't... take... this much... CRINGE... too strong.

 

[Mustawd]

Infinitron, I feel like a Larian-hate storm on the codex is incoming.


Also, tb or rtwp. That’s what I wanna know. FFS stop teasing me.

 

[luj1]

tb or rtwp

Will be the least of your problems with the game in the end, ironically enough

 

[Quillon]

tb or rtwp

They'll combine both; best of both worlds: real-time...wait for it...based.

 

[ScrotumBroth]

Anyone else not clicking on anything unless interesting information about the game is confirmed in thread posts?

 

[Lady_Error]

Fuck them and their (likely) Skyrim clone.

I'll be very surprised if it is turn-based or isometric. There is 0% chance of RTwP since that doesn't fly on consoles. Hence why Deadfire introduced turn-based combat in a patch or why D:OS was turn-based to begin with.

FUCK THE INFINITY ENGINE YOU CASUALIZED CASUALS.

FUCK THE INFINITY ENGINE YOU CASUALIZED CASUALS.

You play JRPGs, what right do you have to trash talk IE games? Go fuck yourself.
