>the feel of DnD
unless you talk about pre ADnD, then there probably is no such thing as each group plays differently and very few groups outside of the OSR bubble focus exclusiveley on dungeon crawling.
Definitly going with the orky one here. Provide some actual arguments not just feelings.
on the companions, while im not sold on em, theres also probably not a lot of DnD campaigns starting with "you are the child of bhaal".
Chosen one plots tend to be looke down upon as characters in DnD have a tendency to die and making the entire plot stupid (which of course would not actually be true in Baldurs Gate since theres several bhaalspawn and you could make a campaign just out of that, but its certainly not usual)
