Every “schmal” contribution helps, thank you.

Today we’re going to be discussing what Baldur’s Gate 3 looks to be two weeks after the Stadia livestream. This video is not livestream commentary on the Stadia event, and my own experience is based on fifty-plus-hours experience revisiting my favorite CRPGs such as the Baldur’s Gate and the Original Sin series. In short, this is a brief overview about my concerns, my hopes and my confusion with what has been branded as the next sequel to Baldur’s Gate when the game has almost very little to do with the original two games (or four, if we count the expansions.)

Later today, you can read the transcript of this video with visual aids. In addition, you can also visit my curator page, my blog site and my other videos for my thoughts on many CRPGs from almost a decade of playing them. If you enjoyed this video or you would like to see more of this type of content, then please let me know down below since I am going to put out more of these smaller forms of commentary over the next few weeks as I get together my longer critiques such as the DOOM series and the Long Dark Redux review.
