Atari owns the BG trademark, not BioWare/EA.

Then why does VD's first thread post say different?

Baldur's Gate 3 : Brand Recognition Is God

An actual sequel to ToB would be quite absurd so I'm fairly sure BG3 would just be an unrelated D&D game happening on the Sword Coast. And we'd probably get to meet Elminster and Drizzt, isn't that exciting ?

The problem is in this case is not the developer. It is the publisher, they will turn everyting to shit.

You're all missing the big thing here, it's not Baldur's Gate 3 for the PC, it's obviously Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 3, which has more name recognition and remembrance in the general market.

Not true.

Anyway I can't see Bio doing this with all the projects they have going on, plus I don't even think they're actually interested doing it at least at this point. So the only chance of delivering a half-decent game is Obsidian with their usual lazy, unimaginative "by the book" style. Heck, they've already developed NWN 2 which is only an inferior copy-paste of the original BG series so I guess they have their work cut out.

Anyway, my prediction is that you'll play the Bhaalspawnspawn.

If it is so, who would you prefer as your other parent ? Aerie ? Viconia ? Jaheira ? Anomen ? :)

(Yes, I realize it could also be someone else.)

Irenicus who raped and impregnated my female character during his experiments. That would be badass.
