Balder's Gate 3 will now be released in full on 3rd August on PC. This is almost a month earlier than was originally anticipated.

I have no doubt in my mind this will be an amazing RPG, I just hope it will also be a great Baldurs Gate. I have so many memories of those games, and they have such a legacy that I hope this will be an actual sequel with a real connection and real returning characters (playable or at least prominent, not just mentions and references). No matter how great it plays, I will still be disappointed if this ends up being Divinity: Dungeons and Dragons.

Nothing will be able to match your memory of those games. You were much younger and impresionable.

While this is always part of it, I've replayed them a couple of years ago and they still hold up. So much of their charm hasn't aged at all: writing, characters, story and voice acting. Irenicus is just as sick of a villain as he was 23 years ago.
