Look familiar?
Not to me since I wasn't there for that chapter but I'm hyped about it none the less.
An invasion of the surface by the Mindflayers alongside Eldritch horrors!
Well! That certainly seems like it mirrors it then.
Not really Lords of Madness and so many other source material says that the Illithid are planning to conquer the surface. I am pretty sure loads of tabletop games have been done with the Illithid trying to or successfully invading the surface.
Now if they start mentioning a place called Sanctuary run by some tyrant wizards I would see some parallels.
Larian Studio making BG III? GRIM and DARK.
I approve.
Long live the grimdark!
