"Fantasy franchises are always trying to create the most immersive world. Game of Thrones has its early modern inspiration, Lord of the Rings has its deep mythology, and The Chronicles of Narnia has its take on childhood pretend worlds and religious iconography. However, since its creation, there's always been one fantasy world that has always been more immersive than anything else: the tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons."
"According to , HBO is developing a Baldur's Gate 3 series with The Last of Us co-creator Craig Mazin as showrunner. Baldur's Gate 3 is the most recent installment in the Baldur's Gate video game series set within the Dungeons & Dragons universe. Unlike the first two games, Baldur's Gate 3 was developed by Larian Studios and received basically universal acclaim, even being brought up in conversations about the greatest video game of all time."
"While this series may be coming from one of the minds behind The Last of Us, it has one big difference from that series. The Last of Us was an incredibly faithful adaptation of the events of the games, but this upcoming series will continue the story of Baldur's Gate. This is probably because of the format of the game itself. Much like Dungeons & Dragons, Baldur's Gate 3 is an incredibly customizable game. From the character the player chooses (or builds) and its evolution, to the party members and romanceable options, to the side quests, it's highly unlikely that any two players have the exact same experience."
HBO is developing a Baldur's Gate 3 television series with Craig Mazin as showrunner. Baldur's Gate 3 is the most recent entry in the Baldur's Gate video-game series set in the Dungeons & Dragons universe and was developed by Larian Studios to broad acclaim. The upcoming series will continue the game's story rather than strictly reproduce its events. Baldur's Gate 3 offers extreme player customization through character creation, party composition, romance options, and side quests. Those design features make individual player experiences highly variable and present adaptation challenges when converting a player-driven, branching game into a linear television narrative.
