When Troika was made, hot off the heels of Dungeons and Dragons and the Temple of Elemental Evil, Troika and their co-founder, Tim Cain, made a pitch for a Baldur's Gate 3 that would have brought us the RPG much sooner than Larian's version...but would have also made some incredibly drastic changes to the formula that had been successful for Baldur's Gate 1 and 2.

Tim Cain was kind enough to share the proposal in this video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dz6mHKFEAdU&ab_channel=TimothyCain

Join me as we look at what could have been with Baldur's Gate 3...and perhaps add a little hope for another game that isn't doing so well right now but had some similar themes, Dark and Darker.

In this video, I'll be discussing how the Troika proposal would have killed Baldur's Gate 3. It was such huge departure from Baldur's Gate that it would have inevitably upset fans of the game. It wasn't that Troika had a bad game suggestion, just a bad Baldur's Gate proposal. This would have been a huge disappointment for players of the game, and a huge blow to the development team that was thankfully avoided, allowing us to get years later Larian's epic Baldur's Gate 3
