October 7, 201213 yr Those of us on the forums at the time of the Black Hound have scars on our backs.
October 7, 201213 yr I still remember Josh(?) was very disappointed no one mentioned a thing about the hound in the intro of IWD II. Oh the good old days. Some of my Youtube Classic Roland MT-32 Video Game Music videos | My Music | My Photography
October 7, 201213 yr Which is why we are all happy to throw our money at Obz now. They *know* that our hopes for a decent game are tied up with all that stuff.
October 7, 201213 yr Oh, how I remember the bitter times of the Project Jefferson cancelation. I will cry myself to sleep tonight, I guess.
October 7, 201213 yr Jefferson and Van Buren. Salut. "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle
October 7, 201213 yr Which is why we are all happy to throw our money at Obz now. They *know* that our hopes for a decent game are tied up with all that stuff. Indeed. That's why I am backing this on KS and the Codex. Because I LOVE OBSIDIAN THIS MUCH! (that is a codex meme by the way).

October 7, 201213 yr ...Jefferson's cancellation made baby Jebus cry... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!... A long, long time ago, but I can still remember, How the Trolling used to make me smile. And I knew if I had my chance, I could egg on a few Trolls to "dance", And maybe we'd be happy for a while. But then Krackhead left and so did Klown; Volo and Turnip were banned, Mystake got run out o' town. Bad news on the Front Page, BIOweenia said goodbye in a heated rage. I can't remember if I cried When I heard that TORN was recently fried, But sadness touched me deep inside, The day...Black Isle died. For tarna, Visc, an' the rest o' the ol' Islanders that fell along the way
October 7, 201213 yr PS For the noobs.... Never refer Jefferson/The Black Hound as BG3. Especially not within earshot of Sawyer. "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle
October 7, 201213 yr it seems this is a druid of bg 3: Here lies Firedorn, a hero in bed.He once was alive, but now he's dead.The last woman he bedded turned out to be a manAnd crying in shame, off a cliff he ran.

October 7, 201213 yr The Codex needs to call an Unholy Truce, like dwarves hugging elves, and join us on this mighty endeavour. Spell cool-downs aren't important enough to stop us advancing together, as one! *faints*

Spell cool-downs aren't important enough to stop us advancing together, as one! *faints* We are currently split. Some cannot see over the RAGE over the mention of Cooldowns. So an Unholy Truce is not very likely. Codex gonna codex. We actually have quite a LOT of backers.

October 7, 201213 yr A third Baldur's Gate game could conceivably be a prequel. Set it in the Time of Troubles, Gorion as a party NPC, the birth and hiding-away of the Bhaalspawn in Candlekeep, etc. Hopefully it would be more Godfather Part II and less Attack of the Clones.

Yeah, and now Trent Oster of Beamdog/Overhaul has specifically said he wants to use the Enhanced Editions to build up to a pitch for BG3. Which would bear no resemblance to Black Hound.
October 7, 201213 yr Overhaul really have to prove themselves with this franchise, so much pressure is on them from such diehard fans. I wish them luck, they probably need it. We all want more of the same classic rpgs of the past, it is why we are even here. At least overhaul are willing to take the risk on such a project and if they ever do make a BG3 I will gladly take it, after all their is no other way such a project would ever happen.

October 7, 201213 yr I seriously hope they are gonna work a little more on the UI though. It was fugly in the last screens I saw. Do you think Pillars of Eternity doesn't have enough Portraits? Submit your vote in this Poll!

October 7, 201213 yr I think the overhaul needs a new companion named Codex. They'll be a new type of mage that uses mana and cooldowns rather than spell memorization. They will be romanceable by either gender. You can not remove Codex from your party.

October 8, 201213 yr Looks a bit messy, slightly cut and paste in areas. I can understand why you do not like it. But I will add, the UI did not make BG what it was. Maybe the extra month or so they have will go into improving it.

Honestly, I'd prefer if they farmed it out to Obsidian if they did decide to go with a third game. But maybe that's just me. "Geez.
