After teasing it last week, the makers of Divinity: Original Sin 2 today confirmed the biggest pre-E3 bombshell yet: Baldur’s Gate 3 is coming.

For some reason the Definitive edition will run for awhile then sporadically cause my computer to freeze. The standard edition rarely did that. I’ve tried all sorts of different things, but I can’t seem to get it to stop...really frustrating. I hope Baldur’s gate 3 is more “user-friendly”.

It depends on how PC the game is.

The way that franchise has been going with it’s remakes in enhanced editions, I expect instead of multi-classing, it’ll be multi-gendering.

I have enough games to last me the rest of my life, so this would be a luxury I can afford to do without.

LOVED Baldur’s Gate! Glad to hear a #3 is on the way!

Not too long ago my computer broke and I was playing Baldur's Gate 2 on my Ipad Pro.
But then I got a new computer and started playinf Fallout 4.

I soaked up some rads...

Wow!!! I loved that game!!! It would be interesting to compare to the Elder Scrolls series.

Generally you’ll see these boxes checked in most modern Western RPGs, mostly having to do with Gender Social Justice:

Abundance of masculine butch female characters.

Absence or dearth of female characters with feminine personalities or roles

21st century Western European/American Gender norms inexplicably present in a medieval setting.

Generally when it comes to female characters, a strong drive to do everything possible to avoid inadvertently creating one of the ‘sexy’ 90s style female characters in any aspect.

Female personalities that are present will be of a much more limited range (being mostly asexual masculine/nondescript/ jack of all/master of all trades who don’t need no man) as opposed to males.

At least one or more nonhetero relationship and/or characters. Often more prominent than any hetereosexual relationships

Bonus Points:
Racism metaphors
Corrupt church/rogue churchman
Near 50/50 gender balanced rape gangs in more modern rpgs.
Diverse heroes, white/white analogue villains.
Some sort of online controversy: Scenario 1: SJWs create an issue over something trivial and the company caves. Scenario 2: The company intentionally does something to annoy conservatives and doubles down after protests.

I would be on this in a heartbeat! I am currently playing The first Pillars of Eternity. I would highly recommend it for anyone who loved the old Infinity engine games like BG.
