Editing Baldur's Gate (Games) (section)

===Black Hound===
The cancelled Baldur's Gate III, before Larian made their own BGIII. It was going to use the [[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition|3rd edition]] rules, have a new engine, and be the first in a new trilogy, but they lost the license to release D&D games on the PC in the mid-2003. The plot would've gone thus:

You are some random shmuck with no relation to the previous games in the Dalelands, huddling around a fire in an old barn during a storm when a black hound with arrows stuck in it dies on your lap. Then a group of raiders bursts in and their leader, who we later learn is named May Farrow, accuses you of being in league with the dog and almost kills you, but you're saved by the Riders of Archendale who take you to the magistrate where you're questioned. He then tells the you're not allowed leave the areas of Archendale, Battledale, Deepingdale, and North Sembia, and as you wander the lands, the black hound appears whenever you encounter someone burdened with great guilt, and you slowly become the essence of guilt in the four areas due to your actions. As it turns out, May is a widow who felt guilt from believing to have killed her husband, referred only as the farmer, and had him resurrected... only something went wrong and he came back as an abomination. As you've wandered the land, the black hound has been channeling the guilt of others to the farmer, making him stronger and stronger, and you would need to find a way to stop him.
