Focusing on things that involve Baldur's Gate and D&D.

@BeamdogInc I stuck with 86! Otherwise I could have been there all night.

It's been a few years. Gonna do a full playthrough - BG1, 2 & 3. As always, I just want to hit reroll one... more... time. Human fighter, of course.

@WolfheartFPS Thanks man, that means a lot. I've sort of been missing it recently! I hope you're good.

[Harbs Narbs @HNarbs]

Tease.

They truly understand quality over quantity... made an industry changing game and now on to a totally new project. Keeping that small developer mentality in a big studio is a precious thing 👏

Larian nearly made Baldur's Gate 4, it was partially playable and 'something that you all would have liked', but the studio didn't want to spend another 3 years on it. https://t.co/QeTOkdvyvW

@CURTISGILLEN Hey, yeah it's called Stumble Inn!

[Swen Vincke @where? @LarAtLarian]

Audio team pretty dedicated - here they are recording ice at night to avoid plane and car sounds. Pretty cool.

Congratulations to @baldursgate3 on winning PC Game of the Year #GoldenJoystickAwards

[Harbs Narbs @HNarbs]

@Rexfaroensis Mainly The Hidden quest line but also Durlag's Tower and all the doppelgangers, the Nalia de'Arnise questline and the whole infiltration of Athkatla nobles.

[Harbs Narbs @HNarbs]

It has been over 20 years and I still don't know what Bioware wanted to do with those uncompleted quests in BG2... I like to think they contribute to an enormously complex iceberg theory of Baldur's Gate 3 👀

[Harbs Narbs @HNarbs]

@VikGray Which plot issues did you have? I thought it was extremely well written. There were a few things that seemed added in at the last minute but I found the story very compelling.

[Harbs Narbs @HNarbs]

After giving it some thought, I think dice rolling in BG3 works immensely well in multiplayer because it's essentially fun to fail with friends. I don't love it on single player and prefer more traditional CRPG mechanics.

[Harbs Narbs @HNarbs]

@Lyorinn @Artie_Pavlov I missed those completely

[Harbs Narbs @HNarbs]

Names of interest in the Baldur's Gate Graveyard ☠

[Harbs Narbs @HNarbs]

@Artie_Pavlov Oh there is a story about turnips which has clearly been written by Jan but I haven't come across a direct mention of him

[Harbs Narbs @HNarbs]

@Artie_Pavlov Jaheira has a necklace from Khalid but I haven't come across many other references. Abdul Adrian is referenced but he's named Gorion's ward in most documents

[Harbs Narbs @HNarbs]

Gothric Rillyn - part of the Rillyn family, a patriar family in the city. The family now runs a martial combat academy but they had strong links to the guild. We can find another reference to the family in this letter.

[Harbs Narbs @HNarbs]

This is Eldoth Kron, a morally dubious bard from the first game. He probably would have gotten along well with Astarion given one of his quotes: "There is no good or evil, only the charming and the tedious."
