Just because it's D&D it doesn't mean it's baldurs gate
D&D doesn't necessarily mean BG, but BG necessarily means D&D.

seriously Larian why are you making baldurs gate when what you are doing really is just DOS3? People are not stupid or naive
A DOS2 sequel would continue the story of DOS2. BG3 will not. DOS3 would have the same lore and rules (largely) of DOS2. BG3 will have the rules and lore of D&D.
For the above reasons, it is indisputable (to the rationale minded*) that BG3 is not a sequel to DOS2 nor is it a clone of DOS2.
* or to those who do not consider the rules and lore of D&D to be insignificant.
i'm not even sure i should even reply to you. unless you have reading problems, i stated people initial reaction thought it was a DOS2 sequel. this was not made up by me. it was from the reaction of people who first saw the gameplay reaction. this was my reaction as well. and i do play DOS and DOS2. stop being naive.
no one is saying BG3 is a sequel to DOS2. but it is infact a clone of DOS2, aesthetically and gameplay wise. the assets, the UI, the aesthetics, the graphics, the animations, the effects and even the gameplay. heck even larian themselves admitted in the interview that they wanted to promote their RPG mechanics in DOS2 using the baldur's gate name.
also i'm not the only one who notice the similarity and definitely not the only one who are saying it. half of community of BG is talking about it and even arguing in social media and forum.
You say it's a clone like this is a fact.
The game is not even out yet.
Pre-alpha means maybe 10% of the game is done. EVERYTHING you listed is being changed or polished before it gets released.
People need to chill out and actually open their ears for something I've been saying for over a week:
What we saw was pre-alpha. Pre-alpha games are so barebones that they are more of a 'test of concept'. Virtually everything you saw will be changed, and most of it was placeholders in order to make a working demo to show people. What we saw was meant to get people interested & aware of the idea of a Baldur's gate 3. NOTHING WE SAW WAS MEANT TO SELL US THE GAME. If it WAS, the game would be in early access. Stop treating a barely-playable pre-alpha state like it's 100% what the game will be. Because it's not!
