Joe Larue of The Koalition writes: What would you get if Wizards of the Coast D&D 5th Edition and Larian Studio Divinity: Original Sin II had a love child? The answer would undoubtedly be Larian Studios early release game: Baldurs Gate III. I think this will be a child that everyone will want to play with when he becomes fully developed and ready to play. This is the second time that Baldurs Gate III was to be created. The first time was in 2003 when Black Isle Studios were making the game titled The Black Hound. However, due to a financial crisis and the studio being shut down, the game was canceled and I never thought it would see the light of day.
