Baldur's Gate

More context

People are discussing Baldur’s Gate largely through three angles: renewed praise from major creators (BioShock’s Ken Levine), lingering fascination with how BG2 experimented with ambitious plot ideas like time travel, and ongoing community momentum via Baldur’s Gate 3 modders rebuilding the original game—highlighting Candlekeep. Separately, interest remains on BG3’s follow-up, framed as “more Divinity” rather than a direct Original Sin 3 analog.
