"You do not play as the main character from Baldur Gate’s II, and Larian and Wizards aren’t saying if you’re a Bhaalspawn or not. It’ll be a single-player and multiplayer game (as were the originals played on LANs)."

ohh this is nice.

"You’ll be asked to make very tough decisions. You’ll have companions to deal with that will have opinions about those decisions. You’ll be given many, many systems — more than in Original Sin II — to fool around with and experiment and exploit, and hopefully to exterminate the foe that’s trying to go after you. That’s pretty much the philosophy. We want it to be so that you can play in either single-player or in multiplayer, like we did in Original Sin II. If you play it in multiplayer, each of you should be a hero with their own story. It’s very much the party as a whole that’s going to be the focus of this game. That’s probably the biggest difference between Original Sin and Baldur’s Gate 3."

Found this on GOG page. Genre:
"Role-playing - Real-time - Fantasy"

"Real time" which makes me think itll be real time with pause. I mean, they could still have turn based as well, but I actually really like real time with pause.

"The party’s going to be big, exploration’s going to be big, player agency is going to be big, decisions are going to be big, multiplayer is going to be big – and single player, obviously. The originals were also tough games, so challenges are going to be big.”"

Yaay lots of companions! Hopefully with a balanced spread of men/women this time.  (compared to DOS2) 

"When I think of Baldur’s Gate, it’s the tale of a hero and the companions who rallied around them. Original Sin’s big contribution to the genre is a party of protagonists, all capable of pushing story in new directions. And in Baldur’s Gate 3? “Everybody’s going to be a hero, but it’s a party of heroes that comes together. Together they will be able to overcome, isolated they may not be able to manage to do it as well as they could if they worked together.”

And what of the fragility of that cast? Baldur’s Gate had a large companion count, but happily chewed them up with perma-death. Sounds like you best get practicing your eulogies this time, too. “The thing about player agency and making tough decisions is that if it goes badly it should go badly. We’re going to be following that recipe, yes.” And while you’ll still have to pick your character’s moral alignment, “In 5th edition [rules] the impact of alignment is a bit lesser than it used to be in 2nd edition. So that will be less.”"

I know nothing about Balder's gate, but now seems like a good time to get into it, with the console port set to arrive in September.

I mean, I heard there's a lesbian vampire, so that's enough to pique my intetest. (Consensual neck-biting is a yes)

I heard the main male option for fem protagonist sucks, cause he's like sexist or something XD

Anyhow, Baldur's Gate 3 sounds amazing, so I'm eager to hop on the bandwagon before it comes out.

(I heard there's a druid class that can be a werewolf? I also heard it sucks, but I don't care. I play classes for rp purposes more than effectiveness)
