I meant to say the game can look like BG without looking outdated

That isn't where the dispute lies. The dispute lies in if it should "like a BG game." Part of the problem has been trying to define what a "BG looks like." The clearest answer might be something like "it should look more like Pillars of Eternity" to at least bring it current. If that's what you mean, then sure, that's a fair point. In response I would say that PoE 2 and DOS2 came out six months apart; one flopped, one was a huge hit. Based on that, it should be clear on which model to follow. But even so, games in a franchise can change. The most recent God of War game played very different from the predecessors, but was a resounding success. Another problem with the BG2 to BG3 issue is the time difference. How many games in a franchise are more then twenty years apart?
I feel like we're running in circles here. PoE2 didn't ''flopped'' because of how it looks AFAIK so I wouldnt say that's a fair comparison. And yes,games change,and I've said I'm fine with that,you say the new God of War plays very different to the others and again,I'm fine with that,but the question is,did you know it was a GoW game when you saw it? Because the answer everyone will give you is yes. I've only played one GoW and regardless of gameplay mechanics all the games look like part of the franchise/series to me. BG3 don't, that's where the dispute lies.
I agree with ''Another problem with the BG2 to BG3 issue is the time difference. How many games in a franchise are more then twenty years apart?'' that is true,but again,no one is saying they should use the same engine or the same outdated graphics or any craziness so at the end of the day the time lapse it's not such a huge deal.
