dlux Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 bg 3 had a nice cover art (if it is real) and guess what: our dear josh sawyer was in charge Josh and Feargus would know if it is real. Maybe we can get a response from them. The wikipedia page also says that the game was 80% done. Too bad it wasn't finished.

dlux Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 "Uh, looky here, a nice backup-tape. I just needed one for my stash of pr0n." lol pr0n >> Baldur's Gate assets apparently. ^^
Death Machine Miyagi Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 and guess what: our dear josh sawyer was in charge The wikipedia page now informs me that BG3 was around '80% done' when it was scrapped. Seems rather unfair.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 It's worth looking into to play on tablets, I guess, but otherwise I can't see any value. I'm interested in how it will play on Android tablets as I have a Nexus 7 and wouldn't mind re-playing the game via that (it's alot easier to play on-the-go than a laptop). Otherwise, yeah, I would tend to agree with you. That said, I have a friend who's working on it and thus I'm going to get at least one version to help support her having a job. "Geez.

Death Machine Miyagi Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 It also informs me Mr. Sawyer was working on an NWN2 module that would have told the story, but it was abandoned. Presumably because working on games all day and then going home from a long day at work to...work on more games all night was a little much to ask.

rjshae Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 Were they stolen by an ex employee or something? Stuff like that just doesn't disappear into thin air. Ah, yes that sort of thing can happen, and not intentionally. NASA lost tapes of the Apollo 11 moon landing; one of the most important events in human history. If we can put a man on the Moon....

diablo169 Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 Yup its definately real, hits me right in the feels when i see it too. Could have easily been called Forgotten Realms : The Black Hound though as it literally had no connection to the previous games beyond the setting.
Deadly_Nightshade Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 That picture is real. I CRY EVERY TIME I SEE IT! And the NWN2 mod is likely not going to be finished anytime soon, if it gets finished at all. "Geez.

dlux Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 That picture is real. I CRY EVERY TIME I SEE IT! I am sure that a lot of the ideas from BG3 are going to wind up in PROJECT ETERNITY! yay!
dlux Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 That picture is real. I CRY EVERY TIME I SEE IT! And the NWN2 mod is likely not going to be finished anytime soon, if it gets finished at all. Josh cancelled it. It was taking up too much of his personal time.
Deadly_Nightshade Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 But frankly, I wouldn't expect to see any progress on this front until several months after release. I can live with that. Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition for Windows will be available as a direct download from Beamdog, with no client install necessary. Pre-purchasing will allow you to preload the game, so you can access it immediately after release. It looks like they've already got it being released without a client, although it doesn't say if the installation file needs to 'phone home' or not. Hopefully it will be DRM-free. "Geez.

Monte Carlo Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 In the nicest possible way, Sawyer needs to be water-boarded so we can get to the truth. If, indeed, we can handle the truth.
thracian Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 i also found this: an ss from 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.
Sargallath Abraxium Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 ...theys enhancin' SoA & ToB??...what're theys doin', addin' an actual half-decent story??...wait, I knows, fixin' the horrid encounter mechanics, so's e'ery fight ain't a wash, rinse, repeat magic spamfest...wait, what 'bout ... ...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
Leferd Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 I'm kinda surprised Ramza hasn't shown up with all the mentions of The Black Hound. This was right around the time Black Isle was developing BG3 and Fallout 3, each cancelled one after the other. This was essentially the end of Black Isle. By this time Brian Fargo was already forced out, and Herve Caen et al wanted to concentrate on console titles. Plus through other business dealings, Interplay lost the DnD license, and got sued by Bio for royalties. Everyone jumped shipped and Obsidian emerged.

dlux Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 i also found this: an ss from bg 3 Is it a real screenshot? Josh? Feargus?? ^^

dlux Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 They cancelled BG3 and gave us Dark Alliance 2 instead. I don't know if I should laugh or cry.

DocDoomII Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 I didn't even know that a Dark Alliance 2 was released. LoL. Do you think Pillars of Eternity doesn't have enough Portraits? Submit your vote in this Poll!
Jaesun Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 Yes that is real. There was a LOT of leaked screenshots/portraits and other things. And I now wish I would have made copies of all those things. Same thing when the leaked Van Burien stuff came out. That stuff was BEAUTIFUL <3 Some of my Youtube Classic Roland MT-32 Video Game Music videos | My Music | My Photography
