BG1/2 old and outdated is right.
That still doesn't mean that the "next gen" has to become a DoS-like.
There are many things still possible for this game to be a little bit more in the middle between BG/D&D/FR/Dos... And things that could improve the game for everyone, whatever you like more one or the other part of it.
Actually BG3 feels and smell like DoS in every part of it... While there is only one thing that looks a little bit like BG : the useless but beautifull worldmap.
And please stop with the city.
BG2 is not in Baldur's Gate. Dark Alliance is not in Baldur's Gate. FR books talking about Baldur's Gate aren't related to video games... Baldur's Gate is both a video game AND a city in the FR. Stop with that ridiculous "BG is just a city so if there's the city, that's ok"...
DoS is definitely the raw material of BG3, more than D&D, more than the FR and way more than BG... Blind are those that don't see it. (Even if everyone is free to find it cool).
