Balder’s Gate 3 will now be released in full on 3rd August on PC. This is almost a month earlier than was originally anticipated.

After Divinity, I have enormous faith that Larian will make this great. It’s right in their wheelhouse.
I have no doubt in my mind this will be an amazing RPG, I just hope it will also be a great Baldurs Gate. I have so many memories of those games, and they have such a legacy that I hope this will be an actual sequel with a real connection and real returning characters (playable or at least prominent, not just mentions and references). No matter how great it plays, I will still be disappointed if this ends up being Divinity: Dungeons and Dragons.
Nothing will be able to match your memory of those games. You were much younger and impresionable.
While this is always part of it, I’ve replayed them a couple of years ago and they still hold up. So much of their charm hasn’t aged at all: writing, characters, story and voice acting. Irenicus is just as sick of a villain as he was 23 years ago.
The early access stuff they released does not bode well for an enjoyable experience.
Yeah, the game itself looks technically great, but the story, whoo boy. The dialogue is like a teenage girl wrote it.
Oh man. You’re breaking my heart here.
This is both great and kind of annoying. I scheduled leave for the previous release date. Still, I guess it’s better early than late.
