So, Larian is really just using the "Baldur's Gate" name as a husk to fill with a D&D D:OS2 clone, exclusively for the purpose of sales (that's what the "it's a big risk" remark refers to). It's a cash-grab.
Your leap of logic astounds me... because they know they're good at TB and will do that and not RTwP they're cash-grabbing and somehow betraying Baldur's Gate brand? What?!
Not sure you understand what a leap of logic is... because you didn't quote one.
Yes, sacrificing integrity and honesty for the purpose of making money is a cash-grab. Yes, making a game that has not even a 1% association in any of its components or designs to the series it is labelled under, but labelling it as a part of that series exclusively for the purpose of exploiting the series' fans and making money from the marketing hype of that series name is literally betraying the series and is literally a cash-grab.
Is there any other very basic understanding that you wish to have confirmed?
Yes please, explain to me how RTwP is such a big part of the story and lore that it is the sole quality by which you claim something is or is not a BG game. They have experience with TB combat and would like to do that instead, to make sure fans are not disappointed by a half-assed combat system - I think that's a good thing
Would you like Larian to straight up show the entire story of BG 3 (as in, spoilers for the entire game, making it totally pointless to play through) to ease your mind it is somehow linked into the story of Bhaal? Maybe it should say at the start of BG 1 that you are one of the sons of Bhaal and that you will be fighting Sarevok at the end of the game, that is also a son of Bhaal and therefore making it pointless to call the game "Baldur's Gate" but should be called "The Bhaalspawn" instead?
Oh, of course, how could I forget, RTwP is the only way this can be a BG game. Yes please, do give more "very basic understanding" that is obviously missed by a whole truckload of people. I'm looking forward to hearing this.
If you ignore the RTwP thing the point still stands
