Baldur’s Gate 3 Deserves a Spin-Off Featuring Another Iconic Forgotten Realms Villain

Certainly! Let’s dive into a discussion about the increasing popularity of Baldur’s Gate 3. Part of what’s made it such a triumph is the inventive flair of Larian Studios, daring to explore the depths of the Forgotten Realms beyond the standard fantasy narratives we’re so accustomed to. This bold move has set the stage for what future entries in the series might offer, by centering around fresh elements like the illithid crisis alongside the recently highlighted antagonists, the Dead Three. Rather than pushing another tale in the wake of the Bhaalspawn saga, this third installment in the series has advanced the story beautifully. The scope for Baldur’s Gate 4 to pick up on these loose threads is vast, though an even more stirring approach might involve leading players beyond the known borders, perhaps into the enigmatic lands of Thay.

Despite being rarely fleshed out in the main arcs of BG3, the Red Wizards of Thay make quite a compelling mention in the narrative. This faction, renowned for their dark magic and seemingly malevolent pursuits, indeed carries a tapestry of intriguing history that stretches across multiple eras within Dungeons and Dragons lore. Their depiction as simply evil misses the mark, as they stand as a faction with a rich, albeit complex, backstory. They’ve garnered attention recently with their portrayal in the film Honor Among Thieves. With such rich potential, the Red Wizards could definitely underpin an innovative retake on the classic role-playing formula native to the Baldur’s Gate universe.

Talking about their roots, the Red Wizards arose long ago as the ruling elite in Thay — a society steeped in magic, where they were initially honored as dignitaries before becoming more of a fractured force. After Szass Tam, the necromancy Zulkir, seized control in a coup and transformed into a lich, he brought together a council of the undead. This coup fundamentally altered the political and magical landscape of Thay, cascading into an era where necromancy reigned supreme and amassed undead thralls were commonplace.

As the dissension within Thay grew, Red Wizards who refused to succumb to Tam’s rule became exiles, later carving out a trade niche with their arcane goods. Thus, various splintered factions emerged, diversifying their moral and ethical vistas. This layered and nuanced division showcases the depth present in the world of Dungeons and Dragons.

Given this complexity, an entire spin-off of Baldur’s Gate featuring the Red Wizards could be tremendously engaging. The rich, political landscape formula Thay sets up could provide a riveting backdrop full of moral quandaries and strategic dilemmas for players to navigate. While there’s room to base Baldur’s Gate 4 within this framework, perhaps it might benefit more from being developed as an independent title, inviting players back to places like Athkatla or into the very heart of Thay. With the intriguing potential for a cast entirely separate from Baldur’s Gate, it could evolve into a standalone epic with its own identity.

By introducing the option to play as a Red Wizard, players could experience unique conflicts and story arcs different from those traditionally experienced in previous games. Characters like Edwin Odesserion once added intense drama to the gaming experience within the Baldur’s Gate series. Now, whole sections of the fractured Red Wizards order can offer material for gripping tales centered on personal and ideological struggles, epitomizing what fans appreciate about the Baldur’s Gate saga.
