[Inquisitor Recon]

I'm sure many people want such a thing, but what are the status of all of the rights and etc. related to the game? Would a BG3 be as unlikely as hell freezing over or is there actually a chance of such a thing? I would love a return to ye old days, but with nicer graphics and a better interface etc. Neither NWN or Dragon Age could replace the Baldur's Gate series in my shriveled black heart.

Or maybe a prequel could occur - everything before candlekeep.

Just an idea...

[Inquisitor Recon]

Personally I don't think it needs any major connections with the story of the previous two. Just the same style, settings, etc.

I really miss the minor things. It has been years since I've played either but I remember somewhere fragging my whole party with some chain lighting in a very small corridor. Not pretty.

[Sparky The Barbarian]

Prequel is not a bad idea. I'd like to play Gorion, rescuing the Bhaalspawn and getting through a series of adventures until he gets to Candlekeep.

He could introduce Jaheira to Khalid, buy that odd Ranger Berserker a pet to help him express himself, battle Firkraag, help the Mirrorshades clean out the Friendly Arms.

Unfortunately the Bhaalspawn saga is over, meaning anything called BG3 will be little more than a marketing gimmick.

[Biotic_Warlock]

BG couldnt become more of a gimmick then halo, then.
Halo already released halo wars, halo 3 ODST and Halo reach and it was only meant to be a trilogy.

MURDER!

Just because the Bhaalspawn saga is over doesn't mean we can't have a BG3. Lots of sequels have separate plotlines from the originals.

Atari (I believe) now holds all the rights to Baldur's Gate (including the story and characters).

There was a "Baldur's Gate 3" in progress at Interplay at one time, but it was totally unrelated (it was only BG3 because they only had D&D rights to release a "Baldur's Gate"-titled game).

There will never be a BG3.

[Eternal Phoenix]

I haven't played BG (I plan too) but if there is a BG3, I think fans of BG would be disappointed and there wouldn't be an inch of hope if Bioware is not developing it. That BG3 that was being planned and got cancelled sounded so different and dumbed down.

[Squidmaster]

Atari having the rights is a crime I might add. They don't make anything worth playing.

[Zeevico]

Not happening. Not enough streamlining or cinematics.

Is their a compendium of additional quests that others have created that are placed in the BG world?

It seems as much interest as there is in TotSC, SOA/TOB that others would have created some additonal quests that take place in th Faerun.

As an old AD&D player (you know, character record sheets, Players Handbooks and lots of dice) I really thought the Gary Gygax (et al) World of Greyhawk was an excellent setting. Well developed. The Steading of the Hill Giant Chief through the Queen of the Demonweb Pits would be an excellent BG scenario. There were some really cool modules/series of modules (e.g. Sahuagin series) that were in the WOG. Guess all that is copyrighted and not available for PC development. Too bad. I shouldn't allow myself to think about it - I'm bummin' now.

[BASARAisAwesome]

I think Bioware should have the rights to make Baldur's Gate 3 because they are also the developers of the game second to Interplay.

Black Isle was planning a Baldur's Gate 3 before they went belly-up. Such a shame, Black Isle genuinely knew how to make awesome games.. so many classics brought to us by those guys, like the Icewind Dale series, Planescape: Torment, Fallout.. Heck, one of the reasons I love New Vegas is that it's created by Obsidian, which is what remains of Black Isle's original team, and it's effectively the true Fallout 3 on account of being made using pieces from 'Van Buren', which was Black Isle's original FO3 project.

In fact.. here:

That's more or less the intel on what Black Isle's plan was.

No thanks. I'd rather have Bioware develop BG3 rather than Black Isle.

Pen and paper modules are used for computer game mods. Forgotten Realms Unlimited Adventures has used them for years.
For Infinity Engine mods, see "classic Adventures" at Spellhold Studios:

I hope not. For one they'd have to make it 4e and second, a shooter.

Aside that Black Isle is defunct by now and most of the crew went to Obsidian, this gives me a slight sight of coolness. 

I mean... Obsidian and BioWare working together for the first time? Suffice to say that many times Obsidian was criticized due to BUGGED to the high heaven games and other weird things (like half the content being cut etc...). But I think Fallout New Vegas shown people that they know the deal. BioWare does too. Taking the best of both worlds to make a prequel as people suggest would be quite good for me.

Hopefully, we don't take the WORST of both worlds (EA's good taste for money and Obsidian's buggy games). 
Besides, the Infinity Engine would also be a nice touch. With the art direction of this days, the game would be graphically awesome. Sure we would get fully voice-acted stuff but oh well...

So, if we keep on the GOOD faith : BioWare-Obsidian anyone?

Why don't they just do another forgotten realms game with an updated engine (so we get nice new graphics, keep the isometric view but it doesnt have to be BG3. They could make nice references like they always do and stuff but just base it somewhere else. I'd be very happy with a game like that. Personally i thought NWN1 was a terrible single player game but an awesome multiplayer game. NWN2 was definitely better but still no wow factor. I think if they went back to isometric view they could make an awesome game. And dont say well NWN and NWN2 have isometric views because quite frankly they dont compare with BG and IWD series. Thats my opinion

WOTC wouldn't allow it at this point. All D&D related content released must now meet the standards set forth by the 4th edition ruleset, which required radical changes to the entire lore of the Forgotten Realms. The changes are so pronounced and muddle the old D&D so much that R.A. Salvatore was basically forced to kill off all his non-elves and move his series centuries into the future. A BG game released today would not be a BG game that you recognized as BG.

[Moganza]

Why does one ruleset have to overwrite the other. Wouldnt it be better from a commercial perspective to allow them to coincide.

[MDT1]

I don't see how BioWare could be able nowadays to make a new BG title.
And I see no reason for another company to try it as it would most likely result in an disappointment.
Why should they try to copy a game that will raise expectations unlimmitied?

Ask Wizards of the Coast, that's how they roll. I personally think it's silly.

dumbed down? bg3 was meant to be a low level, low magic, high responsive game with choices and consequences. dunno what's bad with this concept. if you need epic content and mass body counts to enjoy a rpg then it's your fault
