Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 Early Access Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Testownia]

I don't know whether this is old news or not, but apparently datamined dialogue suggests that Jaheira is Halsin's wife, and Isobel is their child.

So there you have it - another romance, next to Viconia, which can be crossed out as being non-canon. Just Neera and Aerie left.

Well I mean she still could have been the bhaalspawn until he died. It already happened once with Khalid what makes the PC any more special than him and have her hang on to a memory.

Face it folks your all just Khalid 2.0.

If Abdel Adrian is still the canon CHARNAME, he died a few years before the events of the game, so that's out of the question.

Let's face it - if you HAD TO choose a canon romance, it would be Aerie, since she gets both a happy romance ending AND at least two children which, when combined with the theory that "The Kid" Origin Character will be CHARNAME'S child/grandchild, fits perfectly.

Also with aerie kids would have wings.
perfect for snowflakes.

Larian didn't, they're just being dicks.

They're just following Bioware's footsteps then.

They would be regular half-elves, so no, since CHARNAME is canonically a human.

As to Larian being dicks... the "A Murder in Baldur's Gate" adventure module really tied their hands when it comes to what they can and can't do with CHARNAME, so they're doing the best with what they have. And since Minsc, Jaheira, Bhaalspawn etc. are being name-dropped/present left and right, this at least lends credence to their own declaration that the game IS a direct continuation of the storyline. Which means there's either going to be a big reveal in the later chapters, or else the Mind Flayers are a complete red herring. Remember - Larian also already confirmed this is just the first part of a longer story, so said reveal may come very late into the game.

Uh, didn't we already establish that thing isn't canon?

If Larian really wants to stir the pot, they should make the kid Imoen's grandchild.

Though considering it's set in BG city, it could be Sarevok's grandkid too. There is an option to let Tamoko live in BG1.

It was the other one I forgot the name of.

Ah, Heroes of Baldur's Gate.

I have my reasons to suspect the Jaheira thing is just Larian trolling the people constantly asking to romance Halsin.

Wait, how did they make the Viconia romance non-canon? Must have missed/forgotten that.

Just like Draconis was a regular blue dragon due to his Bhaalspawn father being one, amirite?

Neverwinter(the MMO, licensed D&D product, large parts of the story written by R. A. Salvatore) has references to Viconia being alive.

Ugh, remind me, who's Isobel again? 'Cause I hate stepping into this romance fanfic territory, but by the time of BG3, Jaheira would have to be 160 at least, so retirement territory for half-elves. Or do half-elves also partake of the bullshit exemption from the natural aging process?

Timeless body.

When are they adding Dragonborn as a playable race

At this pace I'm not even sure new races will make into the EA.
it took four months for the fucking druid and we still have a bunch of classes to go.

 

[Shrimp]

Personally I'm more concerned about system changes. So far there's still no mention of a proper implementation of reactions, removal of the shitty chain system etc.

 

[Thonius]

Well maybe they are making content for the rest of the game and ea is just a free(for them) alpha test?

 

[Testownia]

Just how much will players be pissed when the game ends literally the moment you're at the city gates, with a "to be continued in Baldur's Gate IV?"

 

[Larianshill]

The city of Baldur's Gate is already datamined for act 2.

 

[Sergiu64]

If Abdel Adrian is still the canon CHARNAME, he died a few years before the events of the game, so that's out of the question.

Let's face it - if you HAD TO choose a canon romance, it would be Aerie, since she gets both a happy romance ending AND at least two children which, when combined with the theory that "The Kid" Origin Character will be CHARNAME'S child/grandchild, fits perfectly.

Nah dude, Viconia all the way.

Read the previous posts. Viconia has already been confirmed as a non-canon romance, and that was way before Baldur's Gate III was announced. She's still alive in the "present day" timeline.

You're saying if I "HAD TO" choose and then telling me that I can't choose because of canon.

Writers find ways to change canon all the time. She got poisoned? Oh oooops - she faked her own death to do A, B or C. Blah, blah.

Come to think of it... do you recall the exact wording of the romance ending? How long did it take for Lloth's assassin to reach Viconia? Maybe she is still alive, but her fate already sealed?
