      It’s been attempted before with other game engines (like DA: O) but maybe this time it’ll happen. Though I hate to be a negative Nancy but don’t hold your breath with these fan conversions - they’re huge undertakings. Skyblivion actually looks like it might happen, but it’s exceedingly rare.

    I am not tapped into the BG3 mod community, is stuff going to take off like Skyrim?

    It seems more “character oriented” and less sandboxy, so that’s wishful thinking I suppose.

    Doesn’t BG2 start off in a dungeon/prison and very similar to how BG3 opens, except it’s not on an illithid space ship? 🤔

    The djinnai in that first dungeon was also less of a dick than the one you encounter at the bazaar in 3 lol

      Yes, although BG2s starter dungeon is a whole act instead of a few rooms/battles.

      But this mod is starting with the opening area, Waukeen’s Promenade, where the game opens up, (similar to act 1 in BG3).

      Also technically BG2 has the tutorial area with Xan that is similar to BG3 in the sense of being a quick few rooms and battles to teach the basics.
