Baldur’s Gate II Turns 25: A Legendary Retrospective (Part 2)
Beamdog
Happy Holidays, Baldur’s Gate fans! DM Wyvern and Slandered Gaming return with Part 2 of their interview featuring Ed Greenwood (creator of the Forgotten Realms), David Gaider (senior designer and writer), and Trent Oster (director of technology during BG2:SoA and CEO of Beamdog).
In this installment, they explore the origins of the iconic Ascension mod for Throne of Bhaal, the early days of Baldur’s Gate’s creation, shoutouts to both the original and Enhanced Edition developers, thoughts on modern cRPGs, impressions of Baldur’s Gate 3, and plenty more. It’s a deep-dive discussion no fan should miss.
