16:37 And I still believe….where it still CAN be headed Edit: Seriously awesome jobs putting this together. Nice to see our childhood dreams still being remembered and protected. Their stories told

It would have been far better than what we got. I won it once and stopped playing. They kept updating endings and such but I do not feel like trying it again.

Rip la noire series

Excellent work, you earned my subscription. That "old movie" footage from the Black Hound segment, was that an actual movie of some kind, or was it something to pitch the game with? I'm intrigued as to what that is.

In pillars of eternity isn’t the inn at gilded vail called the black hound? Was that an Easter egg

La Noire felt so cool, reminded me of the point and clicks of the 90s like Bladerunner just more fallouty 😂

Larian BG3 is a good game but... is 5e goofines and meh plots design game. While Obsiadian BG3 probably it would be more Adnd seriously and darker game.

As a huge fan of the OG Baldurs Gate games, and somebody who Hated the Dark Alliance games and everything they stood for dumbing down and soiling the good name of BG into a simple mindless hack and slash. I always had this irrational proof-less thought that Dark Alliance had something to do with BG3 getting canceled. And 20 years later I can finally say I'm probably right. Fuck those games.

LucasArts' fate really is a tragedy. A bit of an idealistic take; but one can only imagine what the current gaming landscape would be if Lucas' foothold in the industry was still here to push forward technology and concepts like they did in the 90s and early 2000's, and like how ILM still does for its own medium to this day.

I feel like every Luck Stat video reminds me that I should probably play more CRPGs Also late to the party, but great work as always dude man

Gears of starwars

Is the face-scanning technology pretty much industry-wide for all games now (that are going for realism)?

Some of my favorite games came from this fracture.

I think the next smart move for a DnD game would be to end the Baldur's Gate stories here and choose a new setting. Would love a game with the setting in Waterdeep

Reasons BG3 succeeded: - Good and simple system - Good writing, story, and Voice acting (no political forced messaging dribble) - Choices mattered This is literally all any RPG needs to succeed. And its exceptionally rare to have happen, especially these days the stories and writing are usually garbage.

Very insightful video! What could have been and they seemingly tried twice to get BG3TBH off the ground. But if they did, Larian might have done something else or not at all.. Hmm.. imagine if Obsidian gets to make BG 4 by WotC? 🤔 Heck, finally put the pure, original and authentic Black Hound concept finally to use if just for theck of it. I bet they would succed!

I know they worked on a NwN2 module called Black Hound, but it never was finished

I think I would have preferred Black Hound. Sounds more mature and less silly. Then again the actual plot of BG3 was very dire too.

Anyone know the name of the movie with the red wizard ?

excellent. I've seen a few bad videos on this topic; yours may be the definitive take.

the black hound sounds like it would have been a incredibly dark and tragic story, truly amazing. shame we never got the chance to play it.

Your visual composition on this video was very good. And a lot of this info I didn't know.

WOW! All I can say is that the production value of this is absolutely through the roof. What an incredible documentary about the game that never was.. kind of. Looking forward to watching more. I also love the amount of "studios" that started in some dudes basement or attic lol.

Is Baldur's Gate 3 a hugely reactive game? My experience with it is that it isn't. I remember I did a run where my character was completely nude for the whole time and not one person mentioned it. You can wholesale slaughter people in the streets of Baldur's Gate and no one will have a reaction at all, let alone vilify you for wanton murder of innocent people. It arbitrarily locks you into things, selectively choosing when and how that reactivity can be applied with things like invisible walls preventing you from reaching areas that you should be able to. You might not have had the option to stack jump modifiers to clear the map in a turn, but at least the original Baldur's Gates noticed when you went on murder sprees. Good companions would revile you, Evil companions would (mostly) revel in the slaughter and the game would dispatch bounty hunters to kill you. The game control where you go very tightly, forces you to jump through certain narrative hoops and just generally doesn't respect the player very much at all. I'd say it's less reactive than a lot of games while providing a sandbox to base the game's mechanics in.

Please give me the name of the VHS movie you used in the intro of the black hound. 6:43 - 7:55 !!

For a second there I thought I was watching Noclip. This is very good. :)

I wonder is Sven Vincke was aware of this.

I would have (and still would) play the crap out of a Star Wars action RPG in an updated snowblind engine! I also think this BG 3 sounds like the perfect stop-gap between those gaming eras, and am sad we never got to see it.

Thanks for the video, very cool explanation and narration

baldur's gate 3 simply gained power for every great video game dev who took a crack at it over the years

I'm still bummed we never got Patriots. Yeah Ready or Not or whatever else are similar. But it's not Patriots.

Completely agree renaissance was phenomenal and classic Badass slim. But Habits is new Em that I honestly don't like. New em to me, I'll be honest is corny

Excellent video, thank you. What is the title of the background music being played in chapter 2 ? Actually your whole bgm selection is pretty neat.

Another banger by Luck Stat! I'm not even a D&D fan but it's so cool to learn history from a culture I'm not familiar with

you got alot of info about kotor 2 development misconstrued i understand its not a main focus of the video but bioware didnt pass on kotor 2 they were told that they needed to make kotor 2 in 9 months or something like that before christmas and bioware said that they cant make a satisfying sequel to the story they were building in that amount of time, to which the publisher responded by firing bioware and handing it off to obsidian and obsidian used old assets to make kotor 2 and still cut out like 40% of the stuff they worked on cuz they didnt take time. ultimately proving biowares point that you can't make a satisfying sequel in 9 months.

I wish Obsidian would use Black Hound's story and themes more directly, because the entire game sound really interesting. They did an excellent work using the good parts of Van Buren design in New Vegas.

I'm a simple man. I see Luck Stat upload, I drop everything and listen.

Before I start watching the video, are there any BG3 spoilers in here? I'm being extra careful

But the ending I head of from the script was where Jack kills the little sisters and ends up rising up with splicers to take over the world

This is a great video! Best summary of the Black Hound I've seen!

Dang, whoever got the gameplay footage must be really bad at old school CRPG's but great at naming party characters.

Excellent work.

Wow, beautifully executed, and I loved how you told TBH's story through visually relevant movie clips. You continue to impress me with your eye for detail and thorough research! Enjoy your break, man.

Holy shit Evan, what is that movie shown? It looks vibey af.

Jesus, the level of research that must've gone into this is astounding. Really paid off though, it was a really entertaining watch. I didn't see any footage, or catch you mentioning it, but I thought Champions of Norrath would've made an appearance in this video. Did you see it referenced during your research? I bloody loved that game.

I never tire of hearing about obsidian's ability to persevere despite the universe seemingly be against their development efforts. Truly the genius game dev cockroach studio.

Hey thanks so much for watching, this was a big undertaking so if you liked what you saw consider subscribing and telling a friend! Roll for dexterity by clicking these special links linktr.ee/luckstat

The fact that we never saw a proper game release using the Jefferson Engine is absolutely criminal.

I loved the part where you spoiled the end of Season 1 without alerting the viewer. I only had an episode and a half left so you saved me like 80 minutes that wouod have otherwise been entertaining and maybe exciting!!!

As an action game Bioshock was a masterpiece of the medium. However, its emphasis on its action makes it a rather poor spiritual successor to what it tried so hard to be: System Shock. We wouldn’t get a proper spiritual successor to this until 2017 with Bethesda and the now defunct Arkane Austin Prey reboot. Bioshock is Shock in name only.
