===Baldur's Gate III===
Heretofore un-subtitled, a new game made by Larian instead of Beamdog. [[Illithid|Illithids]] are plotting something and the [[Githyanki]] are on their tail, and that's where you (no longer a Bhaalspawn or one of their descendants) come in. You all meet in an <s>inn</s> Illithid Nautiloid, and get the dubious benefit of being impregnated with an Illithid tadpole, but don't get turned into a brain-eating walking cephalopod. Bhaal and the other [[Myrkul|Dead]] [[Bane|Three]] are somehow behind the events of the game. Also has a few of the classic Bioware mold characters, with the Githyanki fighter Lae'Zel being the "sexy-but-morally dubious-and-dangerous woman" and half-elf cleric only known as Shadowheart being the "socially awkward sweet girl with a tough core".

The game is currently in Early Access and can be purchased on Steam and GOG, though at the time of writing only the first act and about half of the PHB races and classes are available. Larian have indicated that they don't expect the game to reach 1.0 status until sometime in August 2023, and have explicitly warned against buying before then if you desire a full game experience.
