It's says Baldur's Gate in title so...
Troll spotted.
Yawn.......this is not BG 1& BG2 - its not trying to be - leave those games in the past they are classics & everybody knows that (boy do we hear about it enough..)
Yes it has BG3 as a title its based (largely) in balders gate & follows a story 100 years later ....this is not trying to be a sequel to the other 2 games - its drawing on the influence of those games & yes it is a bit of marketing there but this is a new vision - the 3 games can exist in the same world setting.
Nearly no one asked the same setting for the third game.
A new BG game (3) can be pretty different and use different mechanics and rules but still focus a bit on what was loved in the old games.
Larian completely forget to think about why those games became legendary and why so many people still love/mod/play them. At least I think they just don't care and use the name because it's THE name... Their will was to create a new D&D Larian's game and that's it. 100% marketing about the name.
They absolutely forgot (avoid) to mention anything about Baldur's Gate in any interviews^^
