People can expect whatever they want. I get the impression Larian is full of people who are huge fans of BG, and that's the reason they ask WOTC to make it. Of course they care about their fans, but I believe they have a vision of their own of "what is Baldur's Gate 3" and it might not be the same vision as that of other people. But like I said many times before, even the fans who complain this game is not bg3 can't seem to agree what is bg3 supposed to be.
