The community is only divided because of the name of this game.
Fan's of BG don't want this awesome game to be Baldur's Gate 3. Fan's of Larian are so hyped by their new game. Fan's of D&D are one or the other.
Just forget about the name of the game and everyone would talk about "the new great larian RPG" instead of talking only about "What is/should be Baldur's Gate".
I don't want them to change the name,I want the new game of the bg franchise to have some resemblance to their predecesors wich is pretty reasonable in mi opinion.
That's also what I want. But if you delete the core of a game, you only keep what was not a specific part of the video game.
Lore, universe, rules, you don't have to be BG3 to only keep that. They were lots of "BG-like" before and BG should not become DoS-like Nearly no one cares about the specific city of Baldur's Gate. SoA wasn't at Baldur's Gate.
Because Baldur's Gate with a number atached to it is the name of the franchise,not the city anymore in terms of games,that's why SoA is not in that city but is still a Baldur's Gate game of the same franchise. If you don't want a game that takes places on the city of Baldur's Gate be related to the BG franchise you name it with another name (not with the number) like Baldur's Gate:Dark Alliance or Baldur's:Gate Descent to Avernus.
