I’m going to be straight-up. A role-playing game like Baldur’s Gate has always been way to hardcore for me. I was more into jRPGs like the Final Fantasy series or the more modern (read: BioWare) take on the Western RPG like presented in Dragon Age (Origins was a blast!), KotOR or Mass Effect.

Still, once I heard the Belgian developer Larian Studios was behind this project it immediately earned my unconditional support. I didn’t get far in Original Sin I, but coincidence has it I just started a new game of Original Sin II Enhanced Edition yesterday. Maybe this news will motivate me to fight through the initial steep learning curve and finally learn to appreciate a game like this.

Ghent is awesome, Larian Studios is awesome, Divinity Original Sin I and II are highly acclaimed and thus awesome. So, do the math and guess what Baldur’s Gate 3 will turn out to be!
