Baldur's Gate thread cont from

>BG movie

Nah. The stories aren't that special. They are very simplistic stories which are well paced and well written.

Hollywood doesn't know neither of those things.

Who would be the love interest? Viconia or Jaheira?

You think this is some kind of video game board? Fuck off

Jaheira is quite a boring character, plus Khalid would have to die early on for it to happen. I vote Vic

Why not both? The cat fights they have when you progress through their questlines are some of the best characters bants in the game.

...

>continued threads

go back too reddit cunt

>mfw It's Aerie

Please, not that whiny piece of shit

Gorion right here lads, just a small role dies early.

you forgot Elle as Aerie. all three of them having cat fights over the PC

Too young imo. Also, who will play Elminster?

Last one I swear. Here's hoping a studio intern/writer is browing these threads as we speak.

It would be panned for male power fantasy with harem stuff. Viconia and Jaheira would be enough.

>His waifu isn't Nalia

>Human
>Not an Elf or a mongrel
>Rich as fuck
>Gives rights to her Keep if you are a Chad

Imoen

Also, tom cruise to do Jan

No, fuck off. We're not letting SJWs take away or elf harem.

literally bargain bin Imoen

Nalia romance wasn't an option, was it?

>Black hoodie under leather armour, bow & dagger

It could work.

>not Peter Dinklage for Jan

he was literally (literally) born for the role

>jaheria is a protodyke and overused goods
>viconia is so loose she can cast level 9 magic with her cunt
>aerie is a retarded useless bitch that ruin your life with pregnacy after the first fuck

BG2 females are fucking trash

It was just a joke because tom is a midget

So, who could do korgan?

what a pleb. BG2 literally started the whole romance thing in RPGs

tfw too drunk to get it

how about Danny Devito for Korgan lel

>"Be aware, Mazzy, I've something long, hard and low to the ground ye're free to touch and fondle. Child, no need to glare! 'Twas me axe I were referring to."
>"Well, that's one fine mess that I done cleaned up. They did the killin', but I ends up with the gold, the book, and the satisfaction of kickin' their tails. Aah, a good day..."
>"Dang and bloody blast it! I swear I be thrice-damned the way ye yank me about from one place to the bloody next 'ere since we met! What does ye want now?"
>"Aye! Great! Blasted bloody wonderful! Aye, let's go take on bloody trolls to get this man's gong back... and for NO REWARD, mind ye! I've a mind to go back to yon tavern and kick his BLOODY ARSE!"

Only a banter lord could play Korgan, so not an American.

>"[to Aerie] If I wanted to listen to yer yip, ye prissy elf, I’d pull ye over my knee and smack yer bottom. At least then I’d have meself something interesting to do while ye blathered on."

>Korgan: "What use is the indigo she-beast if she can't even help us."
>Edwin: "Well, she has a certain... charm."
>Korgan: "Hey, Vico! I think Edwin's sweet on ya!"

The evil party was fantastic.

looks like i really have to try an evil party kek

Oh, absolutely. All three of the evil chars are masters at triggering other characters, and they have interactions betweem all three of them.

>talking about a seer's gift that drove her insane
>Edwin: A superior mind would have been able to control it.
>Viconia: It's a shame we don't have one here.
>Edwin: It's incidents like this that make me want to fireball the party while they sleep.

>Girl: MY MOTHER SAYS THAT DARK ELVES SHOULD BE HANGED UNLESS THEY'RE NAMED DRIZZT!!
>Viconia: (sigh) So what else is new?

Viconia needs to in the party so you can come across lines like this

Best banter is when you have jaheira/aerie/viconia all romancing you. It's hard to balance and you eventually have to kick two of them, but the insults are just too good. Aerie being a walking punching bag to Jaheira and Viconia makes up for her being such a shitty character

>its a party enters a derelict house in the docks and ends up fighting a demi-lich episode

The cat fights were pretty great. Korgan having a crush on Mazzy was funny, too.

Well, they told that greedy fuck Korgan not to touch the sarcophagus

>The stories aren't that special

Fuck off. Jan Jansen's tales are better than anything in American Horror Story.

I'd actually just settle for an archer-like Jan Jansen cartoon spin off.

Edwina.

She begins to fall for the charname and then pulls away leaving him confused... then he relents and spends a night of passion with Charname and the Red Wizards show up and see through the curse and expose him.

>tfw never picked Jan and don't know his stories

Should I replay the game RIGHT NOW?

yes

Jeremy Irons definitely. Would have said Ian McKellen 10 years ago but he's too frail now.

Danny DeVito is obviously Tiax.

Brian Blessed for Korgan.

but they should

except Drizzt should be hanged too, he's suffered long enough

Yes.

Pick him along with Korgan, they have the best banters in the game together.

He'd be better as Keldorn imo.

>Jump on my sword while u can evil, i wont be as gentle

Nah better as Mr Anchev

>minsc and boo stand ready
sans hair and boo

Casting and talking about who is best waifu is all well and good, but how would you pitch it to a studio executive?

Probably wouldn't be able to now. Best chance was back when Lotr was fresh off of making hundreds of millions and they were dredging up fantasy books to adapt in large numbers. It'd have to wait for the next big fantasy thing to happen and ride the resulting wave.

>the only hetero cis is korgan

> High fantasy action and intrigue
> Established property and fanbase
> Multi-segment appeal, with strong female characters and multiracial cast
> Merchandising opportunities (toys, games, shirts, etc.)
> Can snap up GoT's fanbase once GoT ends
> Cheap licensing deal from Hasbro, which already has merchandising apparatus set up
> $1 million per episode, film it in Poland, Croatia and Czech Republic

What about Game of Thrones?

Do you fucking forgot who own the rights of the game now?

Yes who owns the rights?

>no option to tell them to shut the fuck up

I don't know how much TV series popularity correlates to cinematic success, but I doubt they go together very often. When you make a fantasy movie you're basically swinging for the fences because of how much goes into production, and I don't even know if a GoT movie would be remotely successful compared to the Lotr movies even with its modern fanbase. Granted it'd be cheaper than something like this where you have large and varied creatures and people are shitting magic all over the place, but that'd be a strike against a BG movie. GoT also seems to have a different sort of appeal, being centered around interpersonal interaction and drama compared to a wide scale adventure story like BG would be.

That's the rights to make games based on the Baldur's Gate IP. That doesn't mean Beamdog has the rights to make a movie, TV show or any other media emanating from the original game. Those rights probably rest with Wizards of the Coast, which is a subsidiary of Hasbro. You'd most likely be being the rights from Hasbro Studios, which can't make anything more complicated than My Little Pony.

If I'm wrong and the rights went to Beamdog, they still have no ability to do so, and would probably sell the rights for a song. They're useless to them unless someone was willing to buy them.

I don't see any way you could do Baldur's Gate as a movie. There's too much stuff to go through.

And if you look at the stuff that people really like about Baldur's Gate, it's not necessarily the adventuring or the combat, it's the characters and dialogue.

There's also a lot of politics and drama in the first game, where you're investigating the Iron Throne. In the second one, the first half of the game consists of a shadow war between two criminal groups. You don't have to make the intrigue the center of the show, but there's enough that you could draw comparisons to other popular shows.

If they ever do a forgotten realms movie with established characters their going to do drizzt not BG

> "We're going to make a fantasy show about a tormented ranger whose past comes back to haunt him."
> "Cool, so who are you looking to cast as the lead?"
> "Doesn't matter. We're going to cake him in so much black face paint he's going to look like Señor Chang."

That is so sexist

>I am truly a woman

Fucking gender-essentialism.

Gender is cultural, thus you cannot be truly a woman.

No one takes Dwayne Johnson seriously as a baddie.

I always liked the exploration and combat personally. It struck the balance between IWD and Planescape where it was fun to play gameplay wise and the world building and character interaction was solid all around. They'd have to cut a ton of the possible locations but doing the main points of BG1's story in one movie would be fairly doable I would think, and they could keep going from there if it was successful. And on the GoT bit I mean drama as in you follow a lot of different characters and groups as if they were protagonists, and they all help, betray, and feud with each other in ways that modern audiences like because they can go on about how much they like or hate certain characters and post #teamStark or #teamLannister type shit on their social media accounts. Following a BG party around while they conduct their business is a lot more akin to the fellowship in lotr overcoming their trials and tribulations by comparison. They could change it to be more GoTish but then it wouldn't be very BG anymore.

>aerie is a retarded useless bitch that ruin your life with pregnacy after the first fuck

You can literally throw her baby in the trash and nothing comes of it.

...

he only ever played a baddie once and it was mostly cgi, still I know what u mean, Vin would make a better Sarevok and he'd already know all his lines

Who Melissan?

...

doesn't really matter, if theirs one thing almost all 'actresses' can do well its play an evil scheming backstabbing cunt

>My name is Valygar Corthala, you killed my father, prepare to die

Is there seriously some plan to make a Baldur's Gate film? Anyone have a link for proof?

yea it works

No, someone just heard "Imogen Poots = Imoen" a few threads ago and ran with it.

Never played this game. Is it any good?

no find your own shit to play, this kinda god-teir vidya is not for you

Viconia.

>muh redemption (and let's be honest, that's the route they would take)
is a lot more audience friendly than
>muh surrogate mother who's husband was literally cut apart piece by piece but we end up fugging anyway

This, where's the roleplaying in that? REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

...

God tier casting tbqh fám
