Tim Cain, one of the creators of the original Fallout and a co-founder of cult RPG studio Troika, has released a vlog revealing Troika's 2003 pitch to Wizards of the Coast for Baldur's Gate 3. This version sounds like an even wilder departure for the series than Larian's highly anticipated upcoming sequel.
Cain discovered the pitch document in his personal collection of files related to development of The Temple of Elemental Evil, Troika's 2003 adaptation of the Gary Gygax tabletop module of the same name. "Making a computer game and trying to make it as true as possible to the paper and pencil game, we did that, it's done," Cain said of ToEE, which we previously described as the "most D&D" of all D&D games. "Now I wanted to make what I called 'adapted D&D.'"
