All modern games cRPGs are inspired by the Infinity Engine games and thus will emulate certain elements and visual styles. To say a game from 1998 doesnt look like a game from 2018 is absolutly true, for obvious reasons, but I dont think its a stretch to imagine if BG was made in 2018 it would look kinda like PoE and PF:K.
It's a bit like expecting modern DOOMs to use 2d sprites. It's nice of budget retro-shooter, but it won't make the cut if you want to attract more people then those remembering the originals.
