Okay, great idea for a sub-plot in Baldur's Gate III. What if in BG3 all mages have their spell book on them, their grimorem, the source of their power, or a grimoem that boosts spell potency or intelligence, which is STOLEN. Thus making the mage as harmless as a kitten. You could spend a whole chapter with out spells, but tune yourself to attacks and using a quarterstaff more effectivly. Yes I love mages, but who deosn't, easily the best characters, since they can kill monsters from a distance, instead of being level drained or something.

P.S does anyone know where BG3 will be set, Waterdeep perhaps?

Bg3? think about it, your pc is already powerful, unless you are an offspring from the old pc then it would be to easy (planescape torment)

Err... the problem is that spells are memorizide, not read from the spell books, most mages have two spell books, one for general use and one safe keep at home just in case....
A nice idea for a quest...
BG III is most likely to be on the sword cost, were is on it that is the question (note: Waterdeep is 10 times the size of the city of Baldur´s gate)

Ten time the SIZE. And that's a bad thing because? My faviote thing is exploring and going to and fro in Baldur's Gate and Ankathla. Bring it on Waterdeep. Then again it's full of all those stuck up nobles, in lamest term, a city full of Anomen's children.

It would be a game were you (unless they remove the great majorety of the city itself) would adventure only in that city.
Waterdeep is a campain module itself.
Its a massive city, belive me.

I agree with Drakron. It isn't feasible as an expansion, cuz it would be an entire game in and of itself. I think you'll find yourself once again on the sword coast with a few new areas to explore, such as TotSC for BG1.

first of all, we don't even know if there would be BG3 or not(very unlikely i think)

secondaly just better think what will happen in BG2 expansion!! the name is Torne of Bhaal, could be released in the summer.

"Throne of Bhall" is not the "official" name, in fact Bioware said that a ad on was likely but someone have said that Bioware was going to make one.
TOSC and HoW only added more areas and equipent to the game (besides a higher XP cap), the BG II ad on is more likely to just do the same.
And why not a BG III, all games made by bioware (and Black Isle, PS:T and IWD/HoW were made by Black Isle) have being selling very well, with the end of the license at 2005, a BG III is very likely to be made, even a new game like IWD is likely to be made.
They got Four years to make games with the AD&D license.

go to amazon.com and you can pre-order a copy of Tone of Bhaal, if you don't believe me

mizuno · #10 (**permalink**) 02-25-2001, 08:01 PM

sorry spelling mistake, i said you can pre-order a copy of Thone of Bhaal in www.amazon.com
so who said is unoffical name then?

Rail · #11 (**permalink**) 02-25-2001, 08:04 PM

It's all governed by money, and BGIII would definitely sell well. I think it is quite possible, though it certainly won't be with the infinity engine, since they are scrapping that. We'll see what they come out with. Just cuz it isn't going to be the same engine doesn't mean they won't do a follow up. Much of it depends on the success of NWN. I think if NWN does as well as they think, then they may scrap the BG storyline in favor of the new line. They are limited in the number of things they can work on, after all.

Sorry guys, i know i can't speel, it's "THRONE OF BHAAL" lets order a copy of it shall we? go to this site www.amazon.com

@Mizuno- you know you can edit your messages. Just click on the page with the pencil next to the post title you want to change. That way no one will know how bad a speller you are. Works for me. http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Who ever said the Bioware was scraping the infinity engine?
NWN is not using it, BUT IT NEVER WAS TO USE IT IN THE FIRST PLACE, that game (NWN) was inteded to have a 3d engine all along, it started do be made after BG I come out, Also NWN IS A ONLINE RPG GAME, it does have a single player mode but its not what is inteded to be.
The Infinity engine is perfect to birds eye view games, like BG I, II, PS:T and IWD and perhaps BG III, in fact I belive that they are using the engine on the Star Wars game.
But its early to start to say what engine is going to be used on the Star Wars game, but making a new engine takes several years, so improving the infinity engine and use it makes sense.
