    I know that its pretty much confirmed to be Baldur's Gate 3.

    But can you imagine just how awesome a Divinity III would be? And I don't mean Original Sins 3.

    You shut your mouth! :p

    (I know this is likely related to the Diablo / Blizzard fiasco -- which is hilarious -- but I'd seriously cry...)

    The mobile ports of the first two BG games are actually pretty solid once you get used to the tiny UI. Not being able to install QoL mods is a pain, though.

    I think the only QOL mods I ever installed for Planescape and the Baldur's Gates was the one that made life easy and cheating -- hitting Tab to highlight all of the clickable objects on the map.

    Found that Ring of Protection in the first hub town of BG1 much easier... :p

    That's just present by default in the EE.

    Now, being able to stack 999 arrows...

    Nobody's golden anything until the words "Wizardry 9" are uttered.

    Yeah I know that there are like 837 Japan-only Wizardry games and first person dungeon crawlers aplenty, it's the principle of the thing.

    Be nice to see a software tool set as well received as Neverwinter Nights. Apparently the last attempt was not good.

    ....I believe my first bioware game was Baldurs Gate 2 (unless Kotor came first)

    This is really really welcome news.

    God i hope there is multiperson play on 1 console.

    https://comicbook.com/gaming/2019/06/03/baldurs-gate-3-reveal-google-stadia/

    So, it looks like tomorrow's Google Stadia opening announcement 9 am PDT. However, no one's sure if it's Stadia-exclusive (booooooo) or not...

    EDIT: PS - I've been playing Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition to get a feel for things and it's hard... maybe not 100% intuitive diving right in, and more tactical than BG/BG2 was in combat, but seems interesting. The chat windows are like exactly the same...

    Will Baldur gate 3 be action role playing game or turned based?
