I talk about the proposal that we put together at Troika Games in July 2003 to make Baldur’s Gate 3.

Sounds like a cool game, but it doesn't really sound like d&d (if that makes sense)
That being said, a d&d game built in arcanun's engine sounds cool. I really like being able to easily flip between turn based and real time in arcanum
So you basically proposed make semi-WoW dnd game, before even Wow was a thing. Genius, as always.
lol, it sounds so bad for bg3 game at least, might be better as smth ala dark messiah
But… Why apply this to Baldurs Gate and not Die by the Sword?
I like the player-action based shift of alignment, not just towards good/evil but also towards lawful/chaotic. Sounds like an interesting base for a moral system.
Did the proposal have bear sex?
I just recently played BG3. You were correct to throw out the D&D spell memorization and limit system and replace it with somethig more fitting. That was, by far, the worst thing in BG3. In fact I had to get a mod that tossed it out and reset all the spell slots after every combat to make it playable for casters. But that completely eliminated constraints making casters too powerful. But given the choice that was the only workable option IMHO. Its a good game but I thimkmit would have been much better out of the box had they adapted D&D.
Kinda sounds like what Avowed looks like now 😅
If this had shipped, you guys probably would have had From Software beaten to the punch with the multiplayer component.
So Dark Might and Magic and New Vegas mashed together, it would have been interesting for sure. Still sad that Troika got crushed under the weight of vampire and activision.
Timothy feels like the video game version of Steve lehto
I'm glad Larian made it instead.
Well four months later I do wonder what you think of BG3 as done by Larian!
Rewatching this again. Suddenly I’m reminded of Avowed to Pillars sounds the same as this BG3 proposal to previous titles.
OMG i love that shirt
I love most of your work, but thank god this did not go forward
This sounds pretty cool. i would've loved to play it!
I love your videos, I love your games (even though most of them are pretty janky), but
thank god this never happened
control only 1 character is good, i have tired of controlling a team in RPG games
Interesting stuff! Would have loved to play a D&D game in a Jedi Outcast-style engine. I think Dark Messiah of Might and Magic came close to this – funny how that was based on the Source engine, same as used for Vampire!
Love the Jedi Outcast name drop! Love that game.
Making Baldur's Gate into a competitive multiplayer FPS game is… certainly an idea.
not trying to be mean, Im happy this never got made, sounds horrible.
No offense, but I’m so glad your version of Baldur’s Gate 3 didn’t get made haha
I want that Tshirt, that's the only interesting thing of the video for me. 😜
< take a sip from your trust vault 13 canteen>
Love the decoration behind … in a few you are going to make some playtrougth of Fallout and fallout 2
Ho my
you making a playtrougth comentary of the Fallout – Fallout 2 – Fallout new Vegas
Ho my I love that idea
“ a Fallout tale : a director : creator comentary , coming soon “
Show us how to break the game with pickpocket skill
Love the video
Take care
Heheh
I love first person games as much as anyone and i kind of have an issue with going turn based for BG3 but first person would habe been a huge change. Im sure youve worked on a few games i love so i have nothing but love for you but im glad you didnt get your way on this one lol
The game comes out in 2 hours. Anyobody playing?
Such an interesting concept for Baldur's Gate 3. I actually would to see you return to Baldur's Gate or The Forgotten Realms.
I think we would all love to hear your thoughts or a review on Baldur's Gate 3.
Love your videos Tim!
I'm sorry Tim but that does not sound fun.
i'll rubberneck all over bg3.
It sounds like an amazing game concept, i'd love to see today maybe from Indie Developers, but jesus christ, i'm happy that this isn't what happened to the legacy of baldur's gate xD
some alright ideas, where is the bear fucking though?
So in other words it was going to be trash…. gotcha
A great pitch for an action RPG but an awful one for the Baldur's Gate brand 😁
I really want to play this Troika Baldur's Gate.
The specific design decisions all make a lot of sense Tim.
BG3 now ruined by Larian and Wizards of The Coast.
