I wonder which endings for all of the characters it will follow. Pretty much no matter what they pick there'll always be people who won't be happy it wasn't their ending which is understandable for a series like this

    the Baldur’s Gate TV series will be a continuation to the games, telling a story that takes place immediately after the events of Baldur’s Gate 3, as the characters — old and new — are dealing with the ramifications of the events in the third game.

    can’t wait to see durge pissing at the banquet

    I don't think I've played a Baulders Gate game in a long time, as long as they include Drizzt I'll be happy. Well, maybe also Minsc (had to Google his name)... "Make way evil, I'm armed to the teeth and packing a hamster!" still randomly pops into my head

    I'm bummed if the main character doesn't go by the name Tav

    Maybe it's good, but I have some serious doubts.

    I want to hold off on judging it until it premieres but any casting announcements are definitely going to move the needle significantly for me.

    Why does it have to continue the story of BG3? The game was phenomenal, but the story wrapped up pretty neatly.

    There are a thousand other stories you could tell in faerun.

    Why does it have to continue the story of BG3?

    Because that's how the show gets made. Based on my read of the article the intention definitely seems to be a new story set in Faerun. Sure we'll have some familiar characters pop in from time to time, but it definitely sounds like a new story.

    I expect the first season will lean more heavily on the story of characters post BG3, but if it's successful I could see them traveling the world.

    I'm cautiously pessimistic. Good that the show runner is a fan. But Hasbro will find a way to f it up if it even manages to actually get produced.

    It would be better idea just to do a tv version of the Chris Pines DnD movie.

    He did a great job with season one of the last of us. I mean, he made some significant changes to the story that were absolutely spectacular. I was very curious how they were going to handle Bill in the Show. The show did something that was absolutely not in the game and created one of the greatest episodes of TV ever. Long, Long time is incredible.

    So I’m excited about this.

    Which ending is it based on?

    Well, another meaningless tv show about a videogame who will be a forgetful footnote on pop culture history like halo and resident evil.

    Can't wait to this and the god of war show to come and burst as quickly as they got announced

    Frankly, watching theatrical silent playthroughs of a video game is something I prefer. Especially if the player is both skilled at the game and good at making consistent roleplay decisions. A good editor makes a big difference.

    The game itself is entertaining enough. And there are more than a few people who are better at playing said game than me. So watching someone else play is kind of like listening while someone else reads a book out loud.

    I always find weird watch other people playing a game.

    For me gaming is always a personal experience and my main passion, i have precious little free time and during this this time i couldn't imagine expending time watching someone enjoying videogame while i could be playing myself

    Fair enough, I can respect that. Honestly, I'd rather read a book. Don't get me wrong, it has nothing to do with elitist bullshit like story quality or anything. I'm just bad at video games, and I don't want to have to demonstrate nearly superhuman dexterity skills and reflexes or insane 4D-chess pattern prediction just to find out if I was right about the villain back story twist we've been building up to for four years. And getting kicked back to chapter 1 every time I fuck up a check or an attack would make me go crazy. X'D
