Searched for but didn't find a thread on this game. Preview video

I am not totally surprised, although they haven't finished upgrading all their prior games to modern standards yet.

Still, when they were doing that over the past few years, I wondered if that meant a new BG entry was in production, with the enhanced editions of the old games serving as marketing to restore attention to the franchise.
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

I've been waiting for this since BG2 came out. I plan to pick it up.

In case anyone missed it this is being made by Larien, not Beamdog. Will be a day 1 buy for me for shure
Insert witty comment here.

This one is on my "to buy" list for sure.

I know this has been mentioned ad infinitum but it looks like a darker version of a Original Sin game which isn't necessarily a bad thing, and Larian has a pretty good track record. Will more than likely get this.

Great opening cinematic, cool to see the mind flayers of my youth, realized in motion, buying this one for sure.

I wish I could watch a movie like this intro.
How is the combat model?

That was neat.  Still, Baldurs Gate became a checkoff list of spells you had to cast in the proper order to ever land a hit on a high powered magic user.  That was tedious and boring.  The first one was excellent and Icewind Dale was wonderful.  But I only completed BG2 once and never loaded it again.

Is this set in forgotten realms universe?

Yes, Baldurs Gate is one of its main cities.

Yeah me too, I'd love a full movie of that storyline.


The combat is turn-based which makes me very happy, I always wanted BG1/2 to be turn based, but I suspect might make some BG1/2 nostalgia folks unhappy that it's not that AI with a pause thing... here's the full Pax East demo showing the combat which looked great:
