Baldur’s Gate 3 Gameplay Explained | A Stunning Love Letter To D&D
New Baldur's Gate 3 gameplay? Oh yes! We’ve seen a three hour demo of Baldur’s Gate 3 and are here to explain everything: combat, powers, skill checks, chara...

I don't think I need to tell anyone how impressive this game looks.
Instead, I'd like to talk about something else I thought of as I watched this. Larian Studios had Wizards of the Coast over to their offices I think just before Divinity: Original Sin 2's launch or right after. They were doing a test run with them and running a custom campaign. Now, Larian said at the time that if WotC liked what they saw, they would sponsor official D&D content in D:OS2. Once the run was over though, there was silence and nobody heard anything else from WotC or Larian about possible D&D content in D:OS2. Naturally, it was assumed that that seemed to fall through. But with BG3 suddenly coming, I guess now we know what actually happened, and that is that WotC was so damn impressed with what Larian had that they decided to just let them make an entire Baldur's Gate sequel.
I don't know who's heading WotC but it really looks like they know what they're doing for once.
