No BioWare, no Interplay, no Black Isle... but Vivendi?

For my money, BG2 was the best PC game ever made. Not sure if this "sequel" is a good thing or a bad thing , considering who is(or isn't) potentially involved.

Came across it at IGn...their mailbag...

Another Best RPG Ever? Have you heard any rumors of BGIII? I loved the first 2 games and when I saw this product description at gamestop I was very surprised. Do you have any info you can give me? -- John Nothing more than that. We have to keep quiet for the time being. -- Ivan Deez

i usually buy my games used, but if this is true, BG3 will be the first game i will be paying retail for in over 2 years :Q

and i must concur, BG2 is possibly my favorite game of all time.....or maybe it's Loom

I read recently BW has no current plans to develop BG 3 so this must be a mistake. Of course not planning to do BG 3 is a mistake in and of itself..

hmmm.... so 'the final saga' will have a sequel eh? haha....
actually, I prefer BioWare to make Fallout3 rather than BG3

The link no longer works.

And could someone tell me more about this game called "Loom"?

From what I've heard it won't be a sequel (no more Bhaalspawn). They'll just use the Baldur's Gate name to tap into the established fan-base. In fact, the terms of the old BG license specified that any AD&D game made by BIS/BIO/IPLY was *required* to include BG in the title, so if they want to use the FR setting at all they have no choice but to name it BG-something. Oddly enough, the previous games didn't actually have to be set in BG, only include that name in the title. The Icewind Dale license is the same way, so I would guess that any new BG license would have the same terms.

The link no longer works.

Looks like it was a mistake. Too bad.
