Didn't the recent article also mention the possibility of meeting a hamster-toting ancestor of Minsc, meaning that the story will take place at least one generation, perhaps more, before the events of BG1.

Maybe the story will follow the founding of the City of Baldur's Gate, perhaps including a young Gorion, and early Candlekeep and possibly focusing on the discovery of the Prophesies of the Wise Alaundo (sp?). Just a guess, of course. We may finally find out the mystical qualities of Balduran's Butter Knife, and find the companion items: Balduran's Teaspoon and Balduran's Salad Fork. When combined, they form the incredible Balduran's Big Metal Dinner Utensil.

That sounds like a strong guess, if you ask me.

Wait, what about Balduran's Boxer Shorts, or Balduran's Socks? Maybe even Balduran's Retainer?
