I don't think it's some big secret that we're interested in continuing work on original BG-style games in the future. We love the genre, we love playing the games, and we know how to build them.
If we were to make an expansion or DLC for an existing game like BG2EE or IWDEE it would retain the same ruleset as the base game.
Any new D&D games that get made would use 5th Edition.
Personally I'd like to see even more content added for the Baldur's Gate games in the future before moving on to BG3 or a new IP. But that's just me
And of course the Baldur's Gate kart racing game, Baldur's GTO, will simply be a reskin of Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing.
I'm thinking
Sonic = Minsc (he's basically the star of the BG series at this point) Miles= Khalid Dr. Eggman = Sarevok Amy Rose = Alora Shadow = Montaron Knuckles = Kivan Big the Cat = Guenhwyvar

...that and of course Planescape: Torment EE!!!!!
I think, looking at the wider landscape of how D&D (and Forgotten Realms within that) is being treated, as a cohesive experience, and the new Dungeon Masters Guild release/unveil AND the great fiction thats been coming out recently...its likely a fair bet that any BG like title would be Post Sundering, Forgotten Realms, and likely Sword Coast in focus to leverage not only the table top, but the BG, BG2, NWN, NWN2 and Neverwinter Online player base.
Now, NWN was a very different beast (which I cut my teeth on coding with, making Prestige Classes back many many moons ago and gave me a career) but its the marketing push behind the Realms as the 'face' of D&D that would make me put my chips in on it being a FR game.
All told though I dont want to get too far ahead of myself, if SoD was just wrapped in terms of content, we are several years out from a top flight game I would think, but hey its nice to dream. :]

It's hard to talk about Siege without being so vague as to say nothing or spilling some beans I am not supposed to spill.
I would post more leaked pictures, but Trent embedded his fists into my forehead and torso the last time I did it.
Ouch. Waiting for more new details is like waiting for a parent to give you permission to eat some sweet cookies. I want the cookies so badly, but I don't want to get caught with my hand in the cookie jar and end up grounded for another month, that's how I feel right now.

Can I make a small request that what seems to be unique items(like Fallorain Plate, Sling of Unerring Accuracy in BG:EE) not have additional copies? Just read their description, they sound very unique to me.
Do we have some concrete informations about the Legacy of Bhaal mode? So far I think we know that it is similar to the Heart of Fury mode from Icewind Dale but there are a few threads which complain about the fact that IWD:EE Heart of Fury seems to be different from the original IWD Heart of Fury.
Plus the exact numbers would be appreciated (some say it's -11 to THAC0, others say it's -10 and so forth).

This isn't specifically SoD related, but I just got an email notice that Beamdog's application to exhibit at GenCon has been approved! I LOVE going to GC and I know space is tight on the floor so I'm super stoked they picked us.
Given the date (August), I'm really hoping that'll be when you guys announce the next Beamdog game. And that by then we all have beaten SoD a few times and over-analyzed it to death around these boards.
If you want a profesional team for Polish localization, check Albion Localizations. They are responsible for BG II, P:T, Bard's Tale and 200+ other games. Ther's plenty fans of BG in Poland. You should consider Polish localization and dubbing to honor such audience.
It's so true. There were so many times when I thought I was almost done with a project, only to realize later that I hadn't even been halfway done at that point.

"Legacy of Bhaal and is similar to the Heart of Fury mode which was featured in Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition"
If it is really so, the Legacy of Bhaal will be exactly like the Heart of Fury in IWDEE. The facts about how HoF is implemented in IWDEE are here: https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/44961/windows-heart-of-fury-mode-doesnt-give-ac-bonus-others and https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/comment/689055/#Comment_689055 - we still haven't heard, whether the things @Abel mentions (in terms of a difference between HoF in IWDEE and HoF in IWD) are a bug or not.
Well, the fans' support is 100% at least!
