Furthermore, I've seen the argument that a lot of new players will want to jump in and enjoy a new game and don't care about BG1 and BG2, how they looked, felt, played, ect.
My question is, Why even bother to title this game BG3 if you weren't going to try to appeal to the hardcore fans, the D&D fans.
As far as I know DoS was a pretty successful game. You could have just made DoS3 and let someone who actually wanted to make BG3 do it right.
Larian did want to make BG3, along with many other studios that were also pitching to make the game. WotC awarded them the license because they felt that Larian was the right studio for the job.
