Baldur's Gate was to be an MMO

Bioware aimed high from the beginning

The original concept for the legendary PC RPG, Baldur's Gate would hae seen the game launch as an MMO.

Drs Greg Zeschuk and Ray Muzyka told the audience at their presentation at this week's GDC Europe that Baldur's Gate began life as an MMO called Battleground Infinity.

Muzyka began: "A pantheon of all these gods across all of these mythologies -- it was crazy ambitious."

Zeschuk added: "Imagine BioWare's first game being an action game, and then following that with an MMO.Even back then, we were too ambitious."

Thanks 1UP.
