WotC World Reveal of Baldur’s Gate 3 Gameplay at PAX!

That dragon did look good. They so need to make a D&D movie!

Unless they can make a D&D movie as good or better than Willow there is no point trying.

So, this is an announcement of an announcement trailer for a preview of the game.

When did Baldur's Gate turn into Star Wars?

We did a sketch about that on our podcast. WotC does it a lot too.

I certainly hope they can make one that is better. Not that Willow is bad, I quite like it, but I feel a D&D movie could be so much more. Of course, so could so many movies that simply don't deliver on good ideas / material. I guess it is not just D&D movies that are hard to make, but movies in general.

I am pretty sure the cinematic trailers and story sequences are out sourced to companies that specialize in that, not made by the game team.

BTW that yet they are building for it looks amazing, it most have cost them a fortune. I also know Journalists are doing interviews with Larian now, but they likely won't be released until after the announcement.

So I'm really looking forward to both the 21st (WotC/Hasbro share their plans for more computer games, likely some new announcements), and the 27th (BG3 live stream from pax including game play and Q&A, a new episode of ST: Picard and Season 2 of Altered Carbon).

I would like to reiterate my comparison to Star Wars. This is big-budget stuff, at least by D&D game standards.

Even if the game turns out a failure, it will be a gorgeous failure. And if it's a success, it will be epic.

I realize that. To clarify, I wasn't suggesting the people who made this game should make a D&D movie, I was suggesting WotC / Hasbro needs to get moving on a quality D&D movie.

For folks unable to watch the video.

It's not very colourful for a DnD dragon. They are normally colour coded for our convenience. PCs would not know what to do with that one.

Star Wars sucks, if you want to compare it to Sci-Fi franchises Star Trek, Stargate, Andromeda, Altered Carbon, Galaxy Quest, the Orville, are all better then Star Wars by far. Except Baby Yoda who is too good for Star Wars.
