Baldur's Gate 3 rumors

Wouldn't they also have to acquire license to the D&D system? Baldur's Gate is just a setting, so without it they'd have to use their own combat rules, spells, etc.
But yeah, let Baldurs Gate rest in peace.

I would love to see a new D&D game and if it has to be Baldur's Gate 3, so be it. One thing that Kingmaker has shown me is that D&D character creation and advancement is second to none. Would love to see 5e also.
And no, I am not creating my own mercenary NPCs in Pathfinder: Kingmaker. Too costly. I won't spend money on mercs, when orphans are still going hungry in my kingdom. (Actually, I spend it all on weapons and armor. But someone needs to protect the poor orphans, right? Ever tried to feed a dead orphan?)

I believe the original idea for a Baldur's Gate 3 was that it turns out some of the Bhallspawn survived and didn't pursue their heritage. Or maybe it was the fact that
Spoiler
The reason for no D&D is its obviously a license issue and WotC has vetoed stuff that they didn't like. CRPG devs have been avoiding licensing the game since the 70's.
Still the lore says the Bhallspawn of the Baldur's Gate Saga is officially dead.

Not sure if Larian/Belgian quirkiness is the right choice here.
Though come to think of it, BG 1 had that talking chicken quest.

Whether anyone did a good or bad job; some folks would find some reason to label it awful. Very few games go without some set of vocal critics - though some games which I would consider over-rated - have gotten very little criticism.

Larian has denied it. Beamdog has denied it. It would be strange for Fargo to tweet that, if it was actually inXile. But they do collaborate with Obsidian, which leaves them as the only developers left with enough of a pedigree to do it any justice. There's nothing else known that's big on Obsidian's horizon, and PoE2 is wrapped up.
If all this is the correct math, my bet is on Obsidian being the highest probability.

The only downside is it will be an online sandbox game.

Just let it rest in my opinion. The story of Gorion's ward is over. Anyone attempting this, even Obsidian, is likely to fall flat on their faces as the bar is just too high due to nostalgia. I don't think it's even possible to deliver according to expectations on a project like this.
That being said, I'd obviously try it if it was made.

It's probably Owlcat Games. Not just saying that because I'm a fan but Kingmaker showed they can do a game very close to Baldur's Gate, and I think that was a demonstration for what they could do. Unless InXile is doing it, but their sales haven't been great lately.
