I am serious! Both Dark Alliances were fun to play and weren't an eyesore, unlike regular BG.

Seriously... wtf? How dare you to compare complete trash like dark alliance with BG series??? Even the fact it was named "BG: DA" boils my blood. Please, go play DA2 and leave BG series alone.

being Imprisoned? by that silly spell? this had to be Elmister himself.

It doesn't have a saving throw, anyone could do it!
And I kinda hope the potential BG3 will be more like Dark Alliance...

... You can't be serious... Dark Alliance is like... crap... besides, there are other games out there like Dark Alliance. There's DA2, NWN2. kgo.

I just had an idea for Baldur's Gate 3 that is completely different from any ideas I've had so far. What if the PC and his/her party somehow had the imprisonment spell cast on them shortly after the end of TOB? The party could leave TOB and be traveling home, but still be together, when they have some sort of encounter with a wizard who casts the imprisonment spell. My understanding of the imprisonment spell is that it confines everyone, individually, to a small magical room where they remain conscious, but can't get out or see/hear anything from the outside world. While confined in the magical prison the prisoners do not age, need to eat, or go insane. The party would remain trapped in their magical prison until someone else happened to cast a freedom spell in the same general area where the imprisonment spell was originally cast. The incident could have taken place in a very remote area where this is unlikely to happen.

Hundreds or even thousands of years could go by. By the time someone finally casts a freedom spell everything the PC and his/her party members knew may have changed. The memory of their deeds and even the countries and cities in which they traveled may have long since ceased to exist. Everything could be completely different. Country borders could be in different places. The city of Baldur's Gate might be nothing more than ancient ruins beneath a newer city of a different name, much like the Undercity in BG1. Gods may have risen and fallen. The enmity between the surface races and those in the Underdark might be a distant memory or entirely forgotten, or maybe one long since conquered the other. Basically, any number of major political/religious frameworks of Faerun may have changed in the time the party was magically imprisoned. Maybe in this new age earlier social conditions are reversed. Maybe drow are the paladins of the future and humans are the evil race that lurks in caves, or maybe both races went extinct so long ago that they are nothing more than a curiousity in archaeological excavations. Everything will be new and strange to the party and they will feel the need to stick together as they explore the strange new world in which they find themselves. Their concepts of morality may not mesh with futuristic ideas and they frequently find themselves in conflict with the new order.

Anyway, that was just an idea I had last night that I thought would make an interesting premise for a future Baldur's Gate game. It would entail importing the entire party from the end of TOB into the BG3 game. I thought it might be of interest.

.... WTF are you on about? That's just absurd... just let it go. Jesus.

Also, everytime you change into slayer, you lose 2 reputation (from memory).

DnD universe is interesting enough to create another game without dragging on Bhaalspawn saga. Besides, why should it be named BG3 if it's not about the Bhaalspawn? Say if some developer decides to develope BG3. They would not use Infinity Engine. It would feel completely different to original BG saga. Most of games these days are fully voiced, which will also not feel like original BG saga. Why bother calling it BG series then?
