On the page 41 of this discussion I posted a list of domains registered by Trent Oster.
On my new visit of https://whoisology.com again I've found they have several archives of the same reverse whois search of domain records, in particular, of December 2014, August 2014, April 2014, December 2013, August 2013 and April 2013, and the most current archive as well.
So, basically, any of these new domains can refer to the Adventure Y (although I have a guess of Dragonspear). Yes, we all know about the domain buying habit, but still. There's at least one additional reason than the mere habit to have all those new domains registered now, if compared to one year ago.
@bengoshi , may the gods shine favourably upon you... In fact... Allow the gods to lick, burp and rub against you in a most favourable fashion for at least a week!
From this list... The true name of adventure Y is obvious!
BALDUR'S GATE AND THE OIL FIELD ROBOTICS OF DOOOOOOM ! ! !
Sounds like a dastardly adventure against oil barons disguising environmentally catastrophic oil refineries as gazebos...
...
Did I not foresee this on page 4... I think I did! I did y'know!
*Que altered quote from Baldur's Gate II to fit into forum topic in hopes of it being funny for lots of Likes, Agrees and Insightfuls*
We are all heroes; you and @deltago and I. Likes and agrees everywhere, rejoice !
Not everone is a hero...
@Vasculio is the most vile of villains if he dared destroy a whole post! I can't believe that, and I have believed some amazing things, let me tell you!
@elminster is impressive, but now Grum leads! Insightfuls for everyone!
Guys, you're all jumping to the wrong conclusion. They've obviously managed to get Patrick Stewart to voice the protagonist in NPC banters. Regardless of gender.

Yes, my female elf sorcerer sounds exactly like Patrick Stewart. It's all natural; no Girdles of Gender involved here.
He voiced Jon Irenicus in Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn in 2000
So I predict that Jon Irenicus will have an appearance in some form in Adventure Y?
Congratulations for figuring it out (I certainly wouldn't have), but I'm fairly certain this was figured out around 40 pages ago.
There was at some point mention of some scheduling problems or something for one of the voice actors, so this is a nice bit of confirmation that Warner didn't wind up dropping out due to scheduling issues or the like.
Part of me is worried that Irenicus being in the game will lead to some sort of continuity gaffe or lessen the impact of Irenicus showing up in Baldur's Gate II. The other, larger part, doesn't care about all that as long as David Warner gets more awesome lines for me to listen to,
Dave Warner is going to voice the new Noober/Neeber recarnation.
Yeah, the Elminster's character. He didn't take kindly my refusal to continue with the Noober tradition, so he had to go and win the contest to make his dream come true.
Which wouldn't have been so bad, were it not for him doing QA on his character and pestering me with endless reports like "Heya, I think there's a dialog loop in his script." "I really need to test his VO in game and it's still not there, so what about now?" "Gee, you're really nice to me. All the other developers call me annoying pixie and kick me down the stairs." so by the end of day I'm like "CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE MAKE HIM STOP ROLEPLAYING HIS CHARACTER?!?!?!"

On the page 41 of this discussion I posted a list of domains registered by Trent Oster.
On my new visit of https://whoisology.com again I've found they have several archives of the same reverse whois search of domain records, in particular, of December 2014, August 2014, April 2014, December 2013, August 2013 and April 2013, and the most current archive as well.
It's interesting to note that in the 2014-04 archive (i.e. from a year ago) they have 29 domain records for Trent Oster (https://whoisology.com/email/archive_7/trento@shaw.ca):

I've checked the two lists more closely.
The domains which were in the list of a year ago and now are missing:
neverwinternightshd.com
nwnhd.com
overhaulgames.com

The domains which were not in the list of a year ago and now are there:
mazdagt.com

The funny thing is, this plot would have more in common with the plot of BG1 than BG2 did.

*Posts silly relevant jokes -hoping to be clever-.. Everyone likes clever jokes right?* (___°...°___)
@Bengoshi can you do the same for Cameron Tofer? I think I asked you that before... but can you?
@Vasculio is the most vile of villains if he dared destroy a whole post! I can't believe that, and I have believed some amazing things, let me tell you!

Dave Warner is going to voice the new Noober/Neeber recarnation.
In fact, he is the guy that hogged all the good stats from Noober and Neeber, which should explain some stuff.

So, a new voice over actor - Jacob Burgess - will be there!
We can listen to the samples of his work here: http://www.makewordshappen.com/
Seems to be a very fun guy;) We can listen to his interview here: http://www.thesoundarchitect.co.uk/jacobburgess/
