BioWare has "no regrets" over it's much-loved Baldur's Gate games, but admits it's "frustrating" not to be able to continue to develop the characters it created for the RPG series.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is among the best RPGs ever made. We tested the game last month and posted the optimization guides for midrange and low-end PCs. This post covers the performance of BG3 on the Steam Deck, including the best settings to attain a stable 30 FPS gameplay.
With a game like Baldur's Gate 3, a number of factors make it successful—but perhaps none are as powerful as its side quest design.
Article makes a great point and I agree with it but is spoiler heavy. It should be marked. If you haven’t played through the game be warned as it even spoils parts of act 3.
Thanks for this dude, I am very interested in playing when I have time and am trying to avoid spoilers.
This game rocks, everything is quality, and I love the cutscenes, which remind me of Dragon Age Origin.

While we were so hoping to not have to update owners of the console physical Deluxe Edition with any further news of delay, we’ve now run into more production issues which means that players who pre-ordered their PS5 North America copy that was expected to ship later this month, will now have to wait until July before they can get their hands on them.
Got that email like 2 weeks ago. Tbh I'm not tripping. I understand sht happens. I'm just glad they changed their minds on the physical release
I with you. I got the email is well. Happy to eventually own a physical copy and glad it’s not digital only.
I loved the Baldur's Gate series and would love to see them make another one. What a bummer, I was actually hoping to see another one this gen.
Baldur's gate is truely one of my favorite RPGs on PC. I still have it. I would loved for bioware to make another one.
It is sad, but as much as I loved Baldur's Gate, I have to agree with them that the series was pretty much closed with Throne of Bhaal. I'm certain Bioware could pull off a great spin-off if they do get the license, but they have also proven that they can do great new IPs, so perhaps it's for the better.
If Dragon Age: Origins does indeed turn out to be a worthy spiritual successor, I'm fine with that.
From what I've seen, Dragon Age universe it not as cool as Baldur's Gate.
They call it dark fantasy and it looks like M rated Tolkien, which is all good and fine. But BG was dark and twisted with powerful mages performing bizzare experiments in their steampunk looking labs. Add to that mind flayers / beholders which aren't simply fancy looking 'demons' and the whole thing about planes of existence (Planar Sphere anyone?). I think it was WAY more interesting than 'dark fantasy'.
That said, I don't know what'll show up in Dragon Age. But if it's your off the mill fantasy - mages, witches, dragons, zombies, undead, etc, etc, just with more blood and sex, that's going to be a bit disappointing!
Baldur's gate 2 is probably my favourite game "all time, all platform". Well, after the original Deus Ex.
I'd love to see some RPGs like this (or like Planescape Torment). They should just buy the Diablo engine if they really want to make it 3D (well, I doubt Blizzard would sell it but who knows)
I obviously know that Diablo is completely different than BG, but Blizzard kept the same point of view for its series when the BG' successors - like the good but not great Neverwinter Nights series and now Dragon Age - and most AAA western RPGs (Alpha Protocol, mass effect...) chose a full 3D engine where you can move the camera and stuff...
