I'm not so certain that Obsidian should have been given BG3 to make but I do have some fairly strong reservations about how the game is looking at present.
Right now I feel like the soul of Baldurs Gate is missing from BG3, if that makes any sense. There are elements of EA I really loved but haven't felt at any moment that this is a game in the BG series. I am sure that come the final release there will be obvious links to the previous games but other posters in this thread have summarised very well how there currently is very little in common with the original games.
