However, if that isn't the case, BG3 will have no association to #1 or 2, other that it being based in Faerun, which shouldn't make it another BG game. Its like all books based in Faerun sharing the same key name. All it is, is another forgotten realms game. Icewind Dale had its own name, but shared same engine and location (.. ish)... |
which brings us back to sales, iwd & iwd2 did poorly compared to bg2, both in sales and w/ the community at large (take mods for example, the icewind games spawned a fraction of the mods compared to the bg series.)
so it's a bit of a devil's bargin, the name "bg3" carries market clout, but high expectations. if they turn out a very good game, i suspect the community will forgive them for using the name.
