D&D 5E Baldur's Gate 3 will allow us to explore the whole city of Baldur's Gate Seamlessly

Only the Upper City should look that clean and tidy, and where's all the rain and fog?!

They want the city to look impressive, so they used a clear day.

The SCAG straight up says Baldur's Gate is biggest city,by population I think.

I can't see anything in the SCAG indicating that Baldur's Gate is larger than Waterdeep.

The SCAG describes Baldur's Gate as a "bustling city" with a population in the "tens of thousands". Waterdeep, conversely, is described as "the pinnacle of what a great city might be, in wealth, influence, and stability" for all of Faerûn.

The city looks amazing. It's going to be a treat and probably the first new video game I've seriously played in a decade.

@Parmandur when did Portal 2 come out?

Same same. Last time I played a video game was Witcher 3 in 2008 2015 (misremembered the date), so it's been a while. Looking forward to BG3.

Holy cow, 2011.

This does look like quote the worthy game, but if y'all want some recs...

I don't want to imagine the work when they have to create the city of Sigil in a future Planescape: Torment 2. Other city to be created for a videogame should be the famous Greyhawk, but this would be "small" for players used to urban sandbox as GTA or Cyberpunk 2077.

The cartoon video worked very well as "pilot episode" for a future D&D animated comedy for adults. I advice Planescape/Sigil because this could allow adding weirdest elements, even for D&D standars.

Not really talking about size. I mean as a game/story.

I really hope the early access has been a poor reflection of the finished product. BG 1 and 2 are timeless classics.

I'm concerned that in modern games size and detail substitute for actually being interesting and enjoyable. Compare Cyberpunk 2077 with Planescape: Torment. One includes a whole, massively detailed city, the other includes a couple of streets of a massive city. One is dull and repetitive, the other is gripping from start to finish.
