That's an opinion. I can only say I strongly disagree and very glad they didn't. And you say "a company who actually loves and respect Baldur's Gate" as if Larian don't and I think this goes a little beyond an opinion into just being unfair and most definitely wrong.
Larian could mention D&D and BG more though, so to not generate this sort of criticism.
The interview with the guy saying that he grew up playing FF and thats why he loved RPGs kinda baffled me.
I’ve seen numerous interviews where Swen talks about D&D, so I think you are just not watching the right interviews.
