Confirmed real time same as previous BG games. They've also added multiplayer as an option, but all characters will have a story. So you won't be a random in the main persons game.

I hope that Larian can improve the real-time pause experience. Turn based is just so much more smooth and transparent. Reloading and going through logs to see WTF prevented you from doing something is supremely annoying.
Been doing that a lot in Kingmaker.

Heed the true battle cry of the series.
YOU MUST GATHER YOUR PARTY BEFORE VENTURING FORTH.

I'd be perfectly fine with real time with pause if they gave you an option to set the speed of combat. Pathfinder Kingmaker gives you an option to slow things down to something like a bullet time. I'd be happy with a setting to scale it from 50-100% speed.

so, a year or so ago, wizards starting talking about illithids. they were just giving some background information on them, where they came from, what they want, stuff like that. they also introduced a little bit of spelljammer content into the dungeon of the mad mage module a little bit later... in retrospect, this would have happened a little bit of time after they met with larian games and agreed to let them make bg3.
maybe this is all just coincidence... but bg 1 and 2 are considered canon... how awesome would it be if the bg3 resulted in spelljammer 5e ruleset?

Together? Clearly they do not know about the Druid Solo build, the Kensai/Mage solo build (my favorite), the Barbarian solo build.

The strongholds in BG2 were one of my favorite elements of that game. I always like it when RPGs include things like class-specific content--things that make classes more than just a bundle of abilities--and BG2 was one of the first places where I had seen that sort of class-specific content. If I were to start wishlisting things for BG3, those sorts of class strongholds would at the top of my list.
CDPR would be one I'd trust with it, but yeah, there aren't many that have the potential to pull this off correctly

You know, in the vein of the Witcher games, I actually really wouldn't mind a DnD game based around you playing as a single character, rather than a party (not for Baldur's Gate, probably as something entirely new). If nothing else, it would at least mean that you wouldn't have to mentally juggle the spell lists for your wizard, cleric, and druid simultaneously, was well as your melee characters. It would also open up options for including utility abilities that don't translate so well to a party-based isometric game (flight spells, for instance).

I'm incredibly excited about this. The next few years are going to be a gaming orgasm for me. BG:3, the Vampire sequel, Wasteland 3, and obviously 2077.
