Is nobody else going internally apeshit from seeing the Nautiloid that Illithid was piloting? You got some Spelljammer in my Baldur's Gate and I am HERE FOR IT.
Also, some Planescape, with the whole Githyanki-Illithid war going on. Planescape and Spelljammer have more or less the same origin, so they both count.

@Cliven Longsight that's why I'm thinking they are Githzerhai rrakkmas their behavior is very Githzerhai however the dragon riding is Githyanki however no silver swords . Most Githzerhai are some sort of monk multiclass and are known for pummeling enemies to death with fist and psychic attacks. I guess we'll have to wait and find out.
@Cliven Longsight not every githyanki has a silver sword. You had to attain enough status and rank to be presented with one. Granted, any githyanki with enough rank and training to ride a red dragon and cast plane shift should probably have a silver sword. It would pretty bulky to carry at all times, so they may use magic to hide it in a pocket dimension or something. That way they cant easily lose it while flying bareback on a dragon but can summon it when needed.
I fucking hate the wilhelm scream so much. I was so immersed in this amazing cutscene and this fucking stupid overused sound effect thats been used in literally everything for over 50 years ruined it.
Yeah, but when do these games ever start out at high level? Isn't this game going to start out at level 1 fighting this crisis? I mean, not even the Bhaalspawn would tackle an Illithd spelljammer ship at level 1! Yep- I just checked it out- we're all starting at level 1 and tangling with Intellect Devourers. Unless they're seriously nerfed, this game is doomed to fail. Intellect devourers are supposed to be high level psionic creatures. At least they were when they were introduced in 2nd Edition. They were not received very well because not many people could understand the Psionics Handbook.
@Markus Majer Thats an Ulitharid its CR 9, and i think the first portal was a silver color pool from the Astral plane, and the second one was a Gate from a Scroll, a githyanki knight does not have acces to to a nine level spell, well certainly not in 5e
The fact that Larian, the guys behind the Divinity series, is in charge of this has me hopeful that this will indeed be a proper sequel to the Baldur's Gate series! Just think, there's an alternate universe out there where this game was going to be developed by EA Bioware.
Considering the terrible job Bioware did with the original Baldur's Gate games, I'm glad someone who actually knows how to do CRPGs is making this game.

@Dominic A) Illithids are deliberately Lovecraftian and always have been. B) No, I mean the cosmic as in, from fucking outer space. The term cosmic is not exclusive or unique to Lovecraft unless it's paired with Horror. D) Does the term Spelljammer mean anything to you? Basically, anyone who knows their DnD lore knows that Mindflayers, Gith and many other DnD characters originate from outer space.
@Dominic Even in Forgotten Realms, the Illithids and such are well known to the purveyors of knowledge to be from a far, far, faraway place. They mostly come in their spaceships and enslave some place or teleport into the underdark and make their dealings with the Drow and sometimes a Githyanki kill squad comes from some other plane and dukes it out with one of the Mind Flayer colonies. Most people in Forgotten Realms don't really know or care about space or plane stuff (plus space in DnD is typically presented as working completely differently than our, it has magical rules, diamond spheres encasing solar systems and space rivers of phlogiston, stars are writing on the diamond sphere of your system) but it is not so weird for adventurers to know that Illithids are not a part of the natural order.
That's how Mind Flayers reproduce. The tadpole eats and replaces the victim's brain, and the victim becomes a brand new Mind Flayer. They showed the transformation in one of the other trailers.

Looks like the game is gonna start at wherever the nautiloid ship is going to crash because it gets destroyed by the final dragon's breath as it planeshifts/teleports. And our character(s) are the Baldurians that got captured by the ship.
@@Kain01able the Gith were once slaves of the Illithids, rose up and broke free of their enslavement. The Githyanki, one of the two "philosophies" of the Gith race, have spent eons destroying every trace of the Illithids. They live in the Astral Plane, hunting them down and being general Astral pirates. The red dragons are effectively on loan from Tiamat, the evil dragon queen/deity. The Githyanki tend to be of the "if we can take it from you, it belongs to us" mentality. So yeah, they are not the good guys. Although if you can get them on side, there are not many better suited to killing illithids.
@@stirlinggerbic-forsyth3345 Only the other half of the race, the Githzerai, hate the Illithids as much as the Githyanki, and they also hate the Githyanki as well. And the Githyanki hate them back. I expect all three races to play a major role in the game.
It's not a disguise. They turn the victim into a new illithid and its controlled by the elder brain. Bassicly it destroys the host and makes them 100% illithid. I'm guessing you're with the female gith trying to kill the illithid before she goes through ceremorphosis. I bet she does at the end and becomes a ulitharid
They're not dead. They're new converts turned by the tadpole into the Illithids. Now that they are Illithids, they'll wake up and be hungry for moist grey matter, which is why they're sleeping next to the captivity pods.
I am completely in awe. Utterly speechless, which is why I'm glad that I'm infront of a keyboard. This has already surpassed my expectations and has left me feeling a sense of pride for just being a Forgotten Realms fan. Also, Mindflayers are my favorite race. Tied only to the Dragonborn.

There is. It's called basic homebrew.
I "rode" a dragon in a manner of speaking. I was a bard at the time
These comments trigger me. I just see a Mind Flayer trying to reproduce. His body, his choice.
Preach it brother Robert. They should be honored to be welcomed into the fold.
@@mainkilla Exactly, *his* body.
Lol
I love Spelljammer. Always have.
Waited so long for this!
I want the game, bu I also want to see the whole of that movie :D
Boo better get his ass out of town when that thing shows up! RUN BOO RUN!
Gonna play an Illithid in my next campaign, solid inspiration
Absolutely loved the trailer, EXCEPT for those damn tad poles *shudders for the hundredth time*. Those can burn in the hottest, deepest depths of the nine hells, along with those mind flayers.
Funny you mention it.
A clash involving three species that are amongst the most intelligent in the planes is just so.. exciting? Beyond exciting!
It's almost harvesting season
So hyped, this looks amazing. PLEASE, don't be a year wait.
2 years?
@@gottgold9776 NOOOOOOOO.... lol
There will be early access, like it was for DOS2
@@KutluMizrak Good, tyvm I will be getting this without a doubt
I want to wait as long as it takes for them to get it right. If they get it right this could be game of the century
Mind Flayer and Spelljammer? Im down
1:25 *_that's hot_*
Bruh yuck dude 😔😔😔😔😔🤮🤮🤮🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢😫😫😫😫😱😱😱😱
I know man I wanna be that worm thing so bad
Mind Flayers had milky eyes with no pupils, but this looks amazing.
Whoa this is by larian studios initially I was not interested cause I thought bioware was gonna make it. Now they have my attention
THAT LOOKED SO FUCKING AWESOME
Holy shit. They dug deep when they pulled out the Spelljammer ship.
The beginning is some high-grade nightmare fuel shit.
I guess when Squidward finally snapped, he snapped hardcore.
This was so entertaining to watch, like a movie. best 2020 trailer so far
1:23 Practically the worm bit in "Wrath of Khan" and the Peeper Beetle bit in "Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance" rolled into one.
Nice view of the old Spelljammer nautiloid.
I've never thought a Gith'yanki woman could be cute...until today. Weird.
Lae'zel is super haute!
I really want this game. Also 2009 they released divinity 2 ego draconis, my game of the year 2009.
Also i knew that larian studios bring out one mor best games. ❤
Sorry for my bad english, i hope everyone can understand me😅😁
glad to see the dragon rides of Pern got employment after the Thread thing got fixed
Felt kinda bad when the mindflayer checked on the dead one
Btw Cinematic is so good , blizzard level good , great job
Tbh I almost felt sympathy for him, especially then and when the gith started attacking. He was just trying to do his job, even if his companions are dead
geez, squidward really had enough
THIS GAME DELIVERED.
Look at those graphics, at least 15 separate CDs for this thing.
The poor Githyanki, they didn't even get to make Con Saves against the Illithid Tadpoles
Holy shit.... I'm 35yo, discovered roleplay videogames via BGI, and can't wait for this...
I feel like in terms of attitude towards every race but themselves, the githyanki and the Drow have something in common.
Interesting . They went Spelljammer setting but with Gythanki vs Mindflayers.
Am I the only one that's sort of wishing that tadpole takes hold and how great it'd be to instead play an illithid from the start?
Undead are natural enemies to Illithids - would be dope if the party can ally with a lich or vampire to take out an even greater evil.
