Would never happen. Larian doesn't use Unreal. They have been using a proprietary engine and I believe this game is entirely in thier control. No publishers mucking things up.
Update: A Larian representative reached out to USG to clarify that Vincke was "only talking about the store pages that will go up" when Baldur's Gate 3 is an...

"You will see Steam pages pop up, you will see GOG pages pop up, but no Epic pages will pop up," says Swen Vincke, founder of Larian Studios. "I don't see why not; I don't believe in exclusives, I prefer to be everywhere."
Their bad history with publishers is part of the reason why they've been using Kickstarter since DOS. Apparently they've tripled the size of their team for Baldur's Gate. Seems promising.
They are by far the best studio for Baldur's Gate, IMO. With Divinity Original Sin 1 & 2 they kind of mastered the CRPG. The second one especially is even better than Baldur's Gate II (Which was my favorite of them) in a lot of ways while maintaining that pen and paper RPG feel those games need.
I'm curious if they will adapt thier own Divinity rule set or go with the more defined D&D rule set. Either way, I have complete faith in Larian to deliver an incredible game.
I may be wrong but the guy in the trailer was from Flaming Fist so we coming back really to Baldur's Gate ( maybe :P ) and visit some locations from the first game.
I wonder if we will be able to meet some old companions ( Minsc ) Viconia is dead according to the lore
The fact that Larian Studios is doing it really set up my expectantions high.. :P

Apparently it's going tie into and take place directly after the fifth edition of the D&D tabletop campaign, Descent into Avernus. Which seems to feature the city, yeah. I've seen a lot of people hopeful about them finally adding Drow as a playable race in 3 too, but I'm not exactly sure why, maybe just wishful thinking.
Seems like it'll have online and local co-op as well, not very surprising given what Larian did with DOS

Honestly, it would be nice to have a drow as a playable race ( It was in Icewind Dale ) however when it comes to race I hope it will be really expanded how the world reacts upon you.
As a Drow technically everyone should treat you like shit.
Like Viconia that was going to to be burned alive just for being Drow ( or worse shit that she went through and was mentioned ).
lol, well it's probably like Vici mentioned. Other Forgotten Realms games like Icewind Dale or Neverwinter had playable Drow characters. Probably feels a bit odd to not have them when NPCs exist.
So steam has a Larian sale going on now. I mention it because Divinity Original Sin 1&2 are so amazing.
And I feel like Divinity Dragon Commander is a very underrated game that not enough people have played. For $4 that is a steal. One of the more interesting RTS/RPG fusions I've seen.

All the "endings" for Baldur's Gate characters were pretty grim too as I remember it. No matter what race they were. That was one thing that always kind of plagued the D&D games. The writers seem very opposed to happy endings.
There were rumors it was heavily influence by Norse mythology or something of that sort. The description sort of sounds like an open-world game as well, which has me intrigued but also worried...
Jedi Fallen Order looks kinda good. With the EA these days I'm always like "Where's the catch?" but they swear up and down it's just a singleplayer game. The combat looks kinda like dark souls in that it's aiming to be satisfyingly deliberate. It's not Frostbite. It looks like a.. good game.

It certainly was the most enjoyable thing from last night - though I dunno, it looked kinda generic to me.
Still, 'generic' isn't necessarily 'bad' - and what was that? 15 minutes?
It's entirely possible that it's far more interesting, when finished, than that quick preview looked to me
It was the only thing worth mentioning from EA Play. I have no idea why they hold an event when there's nothing really there to announce outside of new FIFA, Madden, and a Sims 4 DLC. I know it makes them a lot of money, so they're going to mention them... but who exactly do they think watches E3 press conferences? The type of person who buys the new sports game every single year? Really? lol
As far as the Fallen Order footage, I was kind of underwhelmed. I get that it's still considered early alpha or beta, but this game is supposed to be releasing in November.. It looked a tad bit generic, the graphics weren't particularly impressive and neither was the bits of combat we saw. I saw someone doing a side-by-side comparison to what we saw with the combat in Jedi Outcast (2003) and it was a bit jarring.
That doesn't mean it can't be a solid game, just nothing about it really wowed me.

Larian confirms co-op, 100+ hour playthrough, closed-chapter approach, D&D classes and subclasses for Baldur's Gate 3
Well, tonight, with Microsoft and Bethesda, should hopefully have a lot better showing - am probably going to put it on in the background, whilst I do some work, and flip to stream if anything interesting comes up
