D&D Movie/TV Baldurs Gate 3 Live Action Series talks at Netflix

[OB1]

So it can use the names and make a pile of hot garbage with them, like it did with Wheel of Time? Or just a kinda incoherent mess like Rings of Power?

Eh they’re all gonna beef it, you’re right at least Amazon isn’t as bad about cancelling stuff for no reason.

Ha, to each their own, I'm loving both WoT and RoP on Amazon. Some of the best fantasy TV I've ever seen.

I’m loving RoP and can’t wait for the next season to come out. But I feel like I would enjoy WoT more if I had never read the books. When I watch it, all I wind up doing is noticing all the things that diverge (sometimes drastically) from the books.

This is where I am at, for sure.

Wot is literally the worst adaptation I’ve ever seen, and at best “fine” as a fantasy show.

I’d sit in a room with no media for a day before I’d watch another episode.

Definitely in the same boat with WoT.

I like it, and my wife likes it.

Okay.

Definitely in the same boat with WoT.

In fairness I would have felt the same about GoT had I read the books before watching.

 

[Zardnaar]

A BG show would need a considerably bigger budget than Game of Thrones, since it's jammed full of fantastic creatures, alien ships and all sorts of weirdness that would require expensive VFX. GoT had 3 dragons. The Mandalorian would be a closer comparison. I mean, even the goblins in Act1 - you going to put kids in rubber masks, then kill them?

Depends if they copy the game or use it as a guide.

I can't for the life of me imagine why someone would think this would work better as live action than animation.
