heh if i see all this activity in discussions and a enhanced edition on the way it makes you wonder...
Do you think they are considering on making BG3?
Wouldn't it be cool if you could continue the story from throne of baal in part 3
this is probabebly for the fun only but here are some ideas i have, feel free to tell your own ideas.:
-play as a godlike character but with a serioud handicap/demotion/setback or maybe he has to establish his rule again....and creates a Avatar (the player)
- the child of the protaganist (remember 'that' child?) story: "legacy"
-sarevok: main character. story arc: "Redemption"
- Minsc and boo hear storys of a giant hamster and investigate....story: Legend of the giant space hamster;
- the baal amulet/emblem key (it's depicted to the top of the website) collect all the red bhaal tears/droplets and the emblem/amulet to open the hall where the throne resides....

"Baldur's Gate 3 has been our long term goal. We have a lot of things to put in place before such a project can be launched. So currently there is no such project but that's the one we want to do."
uhm..maybe you havent seen the conclusion romance with Aerie? I'd hate to spoil it. But if you do some research you'll find out what i mean
I think that faerun is big enough to start a whole new saga...
My dream would be a 2 in 1 game, where you have 2 storylines, one for a mortal choice and one for a deity choice in the end of Baldur's Gate 2 ToB.
"But there's no sense in play a good, you would be invencible..."
Trow the main char on the middle of a blood war battle ground betwen 2 demon princes in true form, or better, mistake a portal and appear in the middle of the cage, at 3 steps of an angered lady of pain and tell me then who's invencible.
No matter how strong you are, there always someone stronger.
But, besides my delusion (that hardly will happen), i really would like BG3 to be a sequel of BG2, and to resolve some specific facts:
1° - make a confrontation with Tethyr B**** queen for send an army on my feet to kill me.
2° - Selectable background and and a way to recognize the previous choices of the player in Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, pretty much like Dragon Age 2 or Mass Effect games does.
3° - some multiverse stuff would be appreciated also.
The PC has already defeated Demogorgon... you'd have to get in the middle of a fight between Asmodeous and Helm or something in order to make it difficult enough
Edit: that said, i think a new story line would also be cool
I don't believe that demogorgon make his avatar form, but that it was forced on him by helm as a way to punish him (when we kill his avatar form he's loose agin on the abyss).
But he's not a divine being and you're right about that, so i don't know if his avatar form has any penality compared to his true being on the 88th layer of the abyss.
I don't think they have any interest in recreating Dragonball Z, personally.
It's my understanding that the developers have a kind of an idea of where they'd like to go with a third installment. I doubt it's a direct continuation of the story from BG2, though; or at the very least, I doubt it's with the same protagonist.
I for one, would love a game where i take a major role on the blood war. Also would be nice to have some cool travels on the multiverse, as ppl above said, even if the main char refuse the essence and chose to stay mortal, he's already overpowered (pretty much like his father, as it's put in "The Dead Tree" book", Bhaal was also a human assassin that become powerful, and alongside Myrkul and Bane, attempet sucefully to get Jergal power (the former God of End of everything).
But as i said its a vain hope that i have, probally will be something as the son of the main char or anything like this to take place in baldur's gate 3.
However a prequel about Gorion and his long-term friend (the one you would play, a Harper maybe?), who somehow disappeared after the battle where Gorion found the Bhaalspawn, that I would like. Or anything about Gorion's past.
a Avatar (the player) level 1 is created with slumbering powers by the new bhaal god to find the bhaal amulet (depicted to the top right of the website) and collect all the bhaal tears. Each tear gives a slight bonus/power to the avatar.
During his travels the player makes a timejump due to some mishap machine or whatnot and encounters Gorian. Gorian helps him to return to the right time and fights alongside him for a while. What also happens is that you and gorian find the child that is the protagenist in BG1.
hey we could even let the (avatar) player be the cause/reason that Bhaal was killed in the first place.
This is of course a raw idea. So if you have any feedback/own ideas your welcome to post about it.
Playing as the Bhaalspawn Mortal at level 40 presents the same problem for me; what's left in the world to challenge the player at this point? Multiple archfiends? A game of just destroying one deity after another? That would lack plot, character development, partymembers, all the things we enjoy about Baldur's Gate.
My personal suggestion would be that we either;
A) Have a prequel from Gorion's time, possibly during the Time of Troubles or set just after it, where the player uncovers the plot with the Bhaalspawn and tries to prevent this from happening. Gorion could be an NPC.
C) With the advancing timeline set by Wizards, we're now about 100 years in the future, probably more by the time 5th Edition is released (which will happen before any hypothetical BG3 is made/released). Possibly, Bhaal has a contingency plan, or the Throne of Bhaal is discovered by some force who is trying to resurrect Bhaal again, now that Cyric is locked away for a thousand years (For killing Mystra, which is a tradition in the pantheon). You play as a far descendant of the original Bhaalspawn (who remained a mortal) and it falls to you to stop Bhaal from returning or to stop Bhaal from regaining full godhood if he does return.
D) In a prequel, you play as Bhaal, trying to shag as many ladies (of all kinds) as you can find.
As far as going back in time or playing out a prequel involving being friends with Gorion, meh. I could take it or leave it, and of the two I would prefer a prequel to a sequel involving traveling back in time, but honestly I worry about wearing the story thin if too many games are made with the same characters and story. The Baldur's Gate Saga, as it stands story-wise, has an at least decent feeling of completion to it, and I would hate to see that messed up by trying to capitalize on it too much. This is just my opinion of course, I know others here feel differently.
Additionally, I think that all mentions of BG3 have specifically stated that it would be with all new characters (could be wrong here as I can't remember exactly where I saw this), so I'm looking forward to that if it happens, and I like the idea of Trent&Team developing a brand new adventure of there own, which I'm fairly confident is what they want to do based on what I've read.
To get back to the point made by @Zafiro which I quoted, I would love to see the first original game put out by Trent&Team to be a game that doesn't follow the "Chosen One" formula. The formula was great in BG, but there are so many more options in games where it isn't used, like the ability of the player to truly shape the PC and the PCs affect on the world, which is severely limited with a specific story such as is present in BG. No matter the choices of the player, you are still the child of Bhaal and will inevitably have to defeat the other children of Bhaal and either ascend to godhood or give that up to live out your mortal life (a somewhat superficial choice as it is only presented once the game is already over).
As to those who say a new game would disappoint, I think it is entirely down to how well written the game is, and I have full confidence in the beamdog team to deliver.
I do like the idea of Gorion's Ward being legendarily mysterious - nobody is really sure what class he was or what his motives were
