I do not understand the sentiment "it doesn't look like a BG game"

BG came out 20+ years ago, graphics has gone so far beyond it we now have almost real-life levels of graphic fidelity. To me the important part of it being a BG game should be on the story, the characters, the world building, everything that makes it a DnD game.

I would imagine the UI elements that we saw in the demos that came from DOS2 will be changed, I mean, it pre-alpha, there is so much to be hopeful for.
