Baldur's Gate

More context

Discussion is split between rumors that Wizards of the Coast is developing a Baldur’s Gate 2 remake (and possibly remaking the first too) and takes on how those remakes should evolve, particularly upgrading combat to a turn-based style. Separate chatter highlights a mod-driven overhaul for Baldur’s Gate 3’s Wyll companion quest and how its eventual follow-up may feel like Divinity rather than Original Sin 3.
