Teaser looks great! Definitely excited for a new D&D property.

It has big shoes to fill. BG2 was the best CRPG ever made if you ask me.

Have you seen the game play footage? It doesn't look bad. I'm definitely interested in checking it out.

Nope it doesn't look bad.  Still doesn't change the fact that it has very big shoes to fill.  I will buy the game when it's released after waiting maybe a month or two for bugs to be sorted out.

It's been on my Steam wishlist since it was announced. Still no "planned release date". Not even a range like, "Sometime in the 2020s".


Never heard of the developer/publisher Larian Studios. I wonder if any of them were involved in the original titles.

Super necro, but I know at least Mo has been playing. I think it has lived up to expectations. Been having a total blast.

Oh man. I'm 80 hours in and not at Moonrise yet. So far it's 10/10 with potential to hit 11 if it opens up more when we get to Baldur's Gate. I'm loving the story also, Selune and Shar have always been my favorites and I actually started a new D&D campaign earlier this year playing a cleric of Selune who's mission it is to reconcile the twin goddess. So it's nice to see BG3 focus on that particular conflict (I've avoided every possible spoiler, please no spoilers!). I actually designed the Dream Visitor to be that character so I'll be using BG3 story on how she ends up to influence my D&D char.

Dude, I'm running three separate BG3 campaigns right now. Just alternating between characters lol. I got to act 3 on my first one and started a second, then realized I missed like 75% of act 1's areas!
