Well I searched for about 20 minutes like crazy for a scan of the article and did not find it ( I would look longer but I want to get back to gaming lol!). I no longer own the issue, so I can't scan it. But it was October 2004 d&d 30th anniversary issue. Below is a scan of PC Gamer saying BG3 is in the next issue by Gamebanshee (best I could do). Also I'm posting a few gamebanshee links that talks about the hoopla when Grok opened his mouth by saying BG3 was an upcoming title (thread has since been deleted - gee I wonder why?). But gamebanshee got his quote. I posted quite a few times in this thread and we all thought he was full of it because he posted it on April fools 2004. But Grok said he wasn't joking a couple of days later in a thread when everyone said he was full of it. And then at the end of summer we got the PC Gamer issue confirming BG 3.
Also I posted a link of another forum of someone talking about the BG3 PC Gamer article (sorry it's all I could come up with).
btw, if anyone still owns this magazine, please scan it and post a link.
*please*

Anyway my initial point was I think they jumped the gun and just announced it without havinga developer signed up, and I think they still (over a year later) don't have a developer for BG 3. But I hope I'm wrong.
