What is up with Baldur's Gate 3?

Gaming@beehaw.org – 186 points – 1 years ago

This is not a criticism - I love how much attention this game has been getting. I'm just not understanding why BG3 has been blowing up so much. It seems like BG3 is getting more attention than all of Larian's previous games combined (and maybe all of Obsidian's recent crpgs as well). Traditionally crpgs have not lit the world on fire in this way. Is it just timing of the release? Is it a combo of Divinity fans and new D&D fans and Baldur's Gate oldheads all being stoked about this release for their own reasons? Or something else?

Note:I have not played it yet myself, just curious what folks think?

@ivanafterall @theangriestbird @canis_majoris Did they announce mod support?

We loved what our modding community did with DOS2, and we’re excited to see what they’ll do with BG3. Modding will be supported after the full release, though not exactly at launch.

I would expect some news in the coming weeks.

@dingus Can't wait to have the first two BG remastered à la Skyblivion. Maybe.

My gut feeling is sometime around the original release date? If memory serves, DOS2 got it like the day after launch
