It would be a challenge to pull off without lower level caps under 5e.
2 hoursThey can dangle the original co-lead designer in front of me all they want, my faith in Hasbro doing something good with this is almost zero. Also David Warner has unfortunately passed, and nobody else could ever deliver a better Irenicus, so I don’t know how they’ll deal with that problem (assuming they want the game fully voiced now). Please don’t let it be AI David Warner acting from the grave. Also please get Jim Cummings back, I believe he’s still working and I don’t want another Matt Mercer Minsc.
Baldur’s Gate 2 is an amazing game, and in one sense I would want it to reach more players. But I also kind of… don’t want it fucked with. Maybe I’m just grumpy and stuck in the past. A more elegant ruleset than 2E and a more intuitive gameplay style than real-time-with-pause would be great. I just fear that everything else (ie: the parts that actually matter) will suffer.
But line must go up, I guess. After the success of BG3 it was only a matter of time.
The delivery of Irenicus was so good that every time Irenicus wasn’t on screen, I was asking, “Where’s Irenicus?”
I could pick almost anything he ever said in the game honestly, but this line always stuck with me. I’ll spoiler tag it just in case since it’s a pivotal moment.

My favorite is the monologue set that begins with “Life… is strength. This is not to be contested…”
The line that stuck with me most was where he picked a random-ass woman, briefly told her life story, and then said, “and now she’s dead”, and killed her in an instant. All-time great villain.
