The name, I'm fine with, and its a done deal anyway. It'd probably make more sense for it to be something like "Return to Baldur's Gate" so it doesn't feel like it needs to tie as a sequel, but, whatever.
Having the same art style is important, though isomorphic top down isn't necessary. MOST IMPORTANT IS NEW SHADERS DIFFERENT FROM DIVITY.
Autoscaling is the devil, and should be sent to the pit of hell. It completely misunderstands RPG logic, and it for real idiots.
Some loot being static, like 'boss' loot is a necessity. Random loot is fun too, but it shouldn't make or break the game.
Humor/Dark is of course the important, thats what make it Baldur's gate rather than Neverwinter Nights.
