Its a statement we the fans want to show.
True fact it is I was raised on BG series. Just try to imagine the disappointment instead of bashing me for 'crying' and whatever.
"When Blizzard announced Diablo 3, fans gave their robes, complaining about too colorful graphics (and then - as Andrzej thinks, an avid fan and privately a colleague - it turned out to be the least of their problems). But this revolution turned out to be small in detail against the background of what this game is supposed to bring us. Instead of a colorful world, where every tree create your story, use my so far less exciting Divinity mod. The fight was turned into turn-based chess, and the extended story into small dialogues. The trilogy about Bhaal's children is not connected with the story so far and it probably won't be there I wonder why Baldur's Gate 3? Why not Beregost Heroes or Waterdeep Mornings? Is this just a marketing leap for the brand?"
Think about it.
