By the metrics that you apply. If a feature that is in DoS makes soemthing , percentually, more a DoS game. Then having a "proper" Baldurs Gate game by your standards menas an Infinity engine game.
So why should anyone listen to you. What you are talking about is bloody ridiculous.
You do not allow any form of improvement.
If you read my comment again you’ll see that I said the exact opposite. I have no desire for another game in the infinity engine. I very much want a modern game that evolves the franchise in just the right ways without loosing its roots. And I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t think there’s still a chance we’ll get that. What’s been shown has potential; it just needs some course correcting.
