Thanks Farflame!They call it Ceremorphosis. The excruciating seven day process by which a humanoid might transform into a Mind Flayer. Stick one illithid tadpole in the brain and one week later you've got an octopus for a head and a craving for more grey matter. And what better visual metaphor for the return of Baldur's Gate: the adventure that lodged in the hearts and minds of every RPG fan of a certain age, until it could find a host capable of doing it justice. The search took 20 years. That body belongs to Larian Studios. The game is Baldur's Gate 3.

And all this is true of Baldur's Gate 3? "Yeah. The party's going to be big, exploration's going to be big, player agency is going to be big, decisions are going to be big, multiplayer is going to be big - and single player, obviously. The originals were also tough games, so challenges are going to be big."
If you've played Larian's Divinity: Original Sin you'll know all this can be said of those games, too. Baldur's Gate was based on a modified version of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons rulebook, and Larian is a studio partially born from a passion for D&D. Several campaigns run continuously in the office, and Vincke has long turned to the player handbooks and monster manuals for inspiration. "The thing Wizards Of The Coast is incredibly good at is making idea generators," he says. "When you read a campaign, you get plenty of ideas that you roll with and create your own adventures."
