Larian isn't Bioware, so naturally they'll have their own take on the Baldur's Gate IP. As long as there is a "family resemblance," and I think there is, that should be good enough. At least it is for me. You just have to get used to the new direction, the same as when a favorite character is handled by different directors in a movie franchise.

I agree with you, but I like to say one thing:
If they make a game with the official DnD licence they should use the DnD rules.
Some changes from PnP to computer cannot be avoided, but Solasta or Pathfinder proove that you can make a great game and stay relatively close to the rules.
