I don't know, I think I prefer having the gap in between BG1 and BG2 than this new story thrown in.
I think the concept is sound - there is a narrative gab between BG1&2 that can be explored. But 15 years is a long time and BG status, design style and writing style has change a lot. It would take a very fine touch to create new content for BG that wouldn't feel out of place, and from what I have seen and heard Beamdog didn't quite nail that.
