Well in the interviews before the gameplay preview they talked alot about how much extra gamplay options you would be able to do in BG3.
i did not see "alot" of ekstra options compared to DOS2
Wizards of the coast also stressed that Baldurs gate was in their opinion "the crown jewel" of d&d and they waited this long to make the 3rd. of the series because they wanted it to be just right.
I struggle to see how BG3 in its current state is "just right". The story and the lore is right, but the game is far from it, i did not see anything at all in the preview that made me think ohh that is baldurs gate´ish and i dont understand how wizards of the coast can allow baldurs gate to be the next DOS3, as it honestly is at the moment.
the way i see it larian studios is currently making Divinity original sins 3 and using the baldurs gate brand to boost their own game. this will in my opinion properly be the end of the baldurs gate franchise.
