On the other hand normal people that liked BG games...
Normal people, huh? Oh boy.
The game will be a synthesis of DOS2 and D&D. Neither a pure reflection of BG2 nor a clone of DOS2.
The only people who care about the name and 'feel' and how unique it does or does not look are the BG 1 & 2 devotees, who represent a small minority of those who will be interested in this game. It would be counter productive to cater the game to their tastes when doing so might drive away the larger number of prospective customers who would otherwise be very interested in it.
Can you prove this? It's okay to make predictions I was just wondering if you had any hard data.
