I almost was going to say something along the lines of "how petty can these gripes get..." but I actually did hear that piece in the live stream and instantly recognized it as from DOS 2.
I hear you, I only brought it up because I read in an article that their intention is to keep the IP's as separate as possibly and music tone and style is an easy way to do that. Another example is making the UI design completely unique to BG3. There will obviously be similarities between the games, which I don't have a problem with, but the suggestion is in line with minimizing aspects that would remind one of DOS in an obvious way. Kudos to the team in already making great progress in that direction.
