[Sentinel]

You know it'll be delayed to 2021.

Who cares about armor. 40000 summoned gnolls will still kill Drizzt in his fancy mithril pajama.

"here isn’t an official release date for Baldur’s Gate 3 yet, however, the game is listed as part of Google Stadia’s launch window of games. With the Stadia Founder’s Edition launching this November, we can expect Baldur’s Gate 3 to launch sometime between then and 2020, when Stadia Base becomes available to everyone."

Maybe,. But the lack of information leaves me suspicious. At this point, one might even expect a fast FPS.

Seems highly unlikely, but it's possible that the game's Early Access will launch in that window.

I always preferred to block him with 6 out-of-party characters

Pretty sure we will get ealy access next year and release in 21. Anyway we will finally get some real information within this month.

 

[Lacrymas]

My body is ready to receive the news that this is a third-person action game alla Witcher. The satisfaction knowing I was right is going to keep me warm while Larian attempt to destroy RPGs for the mainstream forever.

 

[deama]

I keep seeing that part where a guy screams from the trailer on a google stadia ad; is this a hint that it'll be stadia exclusive?

 

[vortex]

With Fallen being pushed back, BG3 will probably get EA in Sep2020 and release in Q1 2021.

 

[Jedi Master Radek]

It's going to be a third person action game with dumbed down mechanics. We will also get a 1000 sermons about how the original games are outdated and the sequel is bringing classics to the new generations.

Now available in video game form!

 

[AwesomeButton]

Like I've been saying from the start:
1) It's going to be shit
2) It's going to be a 3rd person action game with superficial RPG mechanics

 

[Thonius]

Well duh! Stadia is a solid sign of that. Larian makes shitty games, larian gets bg3 license - muh hopes!

 

[Infinitron]

I think that when assessing what sort of gameplay Baldur's Gate III is likely to have, one should consider the fact that it's going to have some sort of Early Access release. "Cinematic action games" don't usually do Early Access.

 

[Thonius]

So it will be sanbox-minecraft clone?

Neither is needed when you can kite him with a speed potion. I soloed him with a sorcerer by just kiting and casting spells at him.

Only RPG coming out next year that matters is Pathfinder Kingmaker 2 so they cannot ruin anything.

Is that actually WIP?

What if EA is just a plot to defuse the fan anger? So when the real release comes most of them will have already moved on and less people will shit on the game when it's out?

[Cryomancer]

After this comments about camera angle, only i will not be surprized if the game looks and plays like DDO?

Spoiler

Yes, but not by that name as their next game will use same engine but adapt some other official Paizo module. And since they are just using same engine that they already refined and worked on to release Enhanced Edition now they just need to build areas, quests and stuff like that so it will take them less time than what they needed for PKM.

You can do the same with a wizard if you are using unmodded BG1. You will just need to prepare lots of offensive spells.

Next year? That's a bit optimistic. You gotta wait 3 month after release for patches too. So in fact that's way to optimistic.

That's open secret. The only thing we don't know is - what module and when.
