But I just explained why there can be no comparison there. BG and IwD (and one might even throw in Ps:T) were all part of the same family of games. But this is not true of the D:OS games and BG3.

Let me try it this way. Remember that D:OS Tactics game that Larian contracted out to someone else to make a few months back and then ended up canceling it? Well, that game sharing the same "look" as D:OS2 would have been totally okay. BG3 sharing the same "look" as D:OS2: not okay.
