Actually it's a very early WIP-stage map which is falsely presented as the final version in the article phordicus linked to.

It is not. Those idiots posted a fan art.

Uh, according to the map guy, it's going to be the official map. And this comes after postponing the release for 2,5 months???

Even more FAIL I guess. I can't believe they intend to "enhance" the game by making it worse (first the UI, now this?).

I don't trust these people to develop BG3 at all.

I like how the entire thing is a map of 'baldur's gate'. Not the Sword Coast or anything. Just 'baldur's gate'.

For me the major failpart is that a random user in the thread posted this:


.. which took him about a day to whip up. And he basically did it to give the official artist some inspiration... Given any sort of finalizing it would - at this stage - strongly outshine the official-map-to-be. Oh well, let's hope for the official map beta 2.0 to be better.

Uh, according to the map guy, it's going to be the official map.

Anyone can pop-up saying "Hello! This will be in the game!".
There is no official word about it, and I strongly doubt that the developers allowed him/her to publish an unpolished and rough version of the map, seeing how people are so higly sensitive about everything they say or show.

I'm in agreement with Giuseppe. That thread is a public thread with no comments from any of the people who appear to be in the dev team - no chance that 'map' is part of the game.

I'm literally dying laughing send help

[phordicus]

How does that guy get away with claiming this is the official BGEE map WIP? That's truly some Jerry Springer level of insanity!

You said it Yovaneth, no one from the dev team has posted there. Which we can probably much guarantee they would have done if this guy was blatantly lying about him doing the official map. I don't see some random guy trolling the forum for two weeks that he's doing the new map without the powers that be noticing...

Also, what phordicus said.

On the contrary, if this wasn't true, no way would the devs allow him to post that (or leave that remark alone 3 weeks after it was posted).

Unless, of course, that they are equally inept in managing their official forums as they are revamping the game (not a preposterous notion by any means I must admit).

Just as there was no chance for the new UI to be a part of the game? Why would this surprise you now?

[Andrea C.]

Not to imply anything, but one of the devs did post in that thread and openly stated that map won't be in BG:EE...

I, for one, perfectly mean to imply that you DID in fact tried to imply something. I'd ask you to provide a link to validate your claim since I didn't see a dev comment at all, and neither did Dakk, and no one else in this thread so far (not to imply you're lying but...); since the previous link to the thread doesn't work, I'm guessing it either was moved or deleted. Man, even the damage control is poor.

[Yovaneth]

Thread's gone. I think that speaks for itself?

-Y-

[phordicus]

Normal procedure would be for a dev to comment one way or the other on the OP's claim, and if false, to simply lock the thread.

Deleting the thread is incredibly amateurish, especially one so old.

[Archmage Silver]

I'd be inclined to agree with Y and phordicus here. I'd like to see some explanation from a dev as to why they let anyone to think otherwise in the first place, when they could have just a made a quick post there.

[Andrea C.]

Daulmakan - touché: I was really implying something. However, awkwardly so: the dev's comment was in another thread, which discusses the preview that showed the map as part of BG:EE. I mixed them up.

[Miloch]

I think they just moved it to a private forum, though I'm not exactly sure why.

[Zireael]

About the screenshots: they look like somebody inverted the BGII palette (remember, blue buttons, gold UI background...)

[Suslik]

Any news?

[ScuD]

The best news for me would be when they release the game on-time and (relatively) bug-less.
