Last night, HBO announced what could best be described as a terroristic threat against me, specifically by revealing it’s working on a Baldur’s Gate TV show that will take place after Baldur’s Gate 3 and canonize the events of the choice-driven RPG, all while working with The Last of Us showrunner Craig Mazin. The second part of the one-two punch came shortly after, when it was confirmed that Larian Studios, the team behind Baldur’s Gate 3, won’t be involved in the show at all. The fans, and maybe even some of the folks at Larian, have been expressing disappointment about all of the above in the hours since.
