Is it Turn Based or Realtime with Pause? Because I really can't enjoy anything RTwP. Couldn't get into Pillars of Eternity or Satellite Rain because of it.

Bhaal has resurrected himself... new Bhaalspawn incoming?!
BG has always been RTwP.
We don't know if Larian will stick to it.
I'll stay optimistic because I really like Larian, but RTwP has always been a hurdle for me.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW, SEER??? WHAT HAVE THINE EYES SEEN, PROPHET???
So does that mean they're doing real time pause or bringing turn based to the series?
Same boat, i played through PoE2 but couldn't make it through PoE1. I think the only reason i made it through 2 was the setting and making rifle lines with long guns.
I think I would rather have another divinity game however.

If it really is BG3, I hope they make it so you can choose betwen RTwP or Turn Based like POE2.
Top-down/bird/whatever perspective is not for me. It's just not good.
Fight me.
Honestly, I don't think you'd want it on Switch.
Technically could it be done? Maaaaaybe. Possible but not likely.
More importantly, the game would be a nightmare to navigate on such a small screen. There's just too much going on with the UI overlays and menu systems to be viable on portable screens. Even if they scaled it up, it would take up way too much real estate.
Put it this way, both Baldur's Gate 2 and Planescape: Torment were ported to iOS platforms. Now they work relatively okay on tablets and such. But as much as I wanted them to, they're simply unplayable on 5" phone screens.
Honestly I don't even give a shit if it's real time with pause or turn based as long as it's good, but I sincerely hope they are going to copy BG2's itemization for this and ditch the shitty randomly generated itemization that plagued the Divinity series.
Loot and itemization was basically the only thing that prevented the two D:OS from becoming timeless classics in my book (and they were pretty close anyway.

Let's speculate.
Okay, I know it's probably a totally different thing now, and not even connected to the old games, but this was the possible concept for BG3 from Obsidian back in the day.

just for the purposes of a hypothetical discussion --
*IF* it's BG3, wouldn't the longtime hardcore fans of the BG games want RTWP combat?? that's what I would want, which is why I voted that way for Pillars of Eternity
what say you ERA? and only answer if you are original BG fans back when they came out, lol

Wow, I just finished PoE 2 and Tyranny this week so coming off these games, I welcome these news. I honestly never finished DoS 1&2 cause the world and story is totally uninteresting yet I really liked the gameplay systems. If the writing is improved this could be awesome!
There are a few fights that would destroy a Switch.
There's so much fire in the Oil Field fight. So much.
Good to know, I'll look out for it during PSN sales then
I'd prefer an evolution of the original gameplay, similar to what Pillars did, but I feel like that is unlikely with Larian as their turn-based mechanics are incredibly lauded.
I'd be fine with either? Larian knows TB combat better than anyone I'd say, so if they're handling it then TB is the way to go. I love RTWP but it is a sadly dying style. Or they could go full on crazy and pull a TB mode and RT mode like Pillars 2 managed.
Either way would be fine since it's Larian that makes it.
However, comparing the latest of both combat types from it's latest games, D:OS2's combat blows PoE2 out of the water.
This would be goddamn glorious! I literally cannot think of another developer I would rather have take over Baldur's Gate franchise.
well there are 5 hits for Baldur's Gate in the metadata, 3 for trademark and 2 for BaldursGate_logo_III_retouched.png
also looks like it was called project Gustav?

I'm all for it I guess. Not a series I have particularly emotional investment in but happy for those that do.
Beamdog probably too busy or can't quite handle the production @ this scale or..., it doesn't matter to me at this point.
I'm wondering whether this will be crowd funded...
Ready, regardless

yeah -- that's exactly why I was asking, because I'm probably going to be disappointed
not for me, I like POE2's combat better (I mean the default RTWP in POE2, not the TB they added recently)
that's just personal preference for RTWP, I don't mean from a technical or polish standpoint
I definitely wouldn't mind if they do something similar to pillars 2 and give the option to choose which combat style to go with.
Good question. On the one hand I'd assume no, since it probably doesn't need to be at this point. But on the other hand, it's like a guaranteed influx of money since the crowdfund campaign would absolutely be successful.
