100% makes sense. Hence I doubt Larian cares. Sadly their target base for this game isn't D^D or previous Baldur's gate players. Its just there for marketing.
Um...if they are not targeting DnD players or previous Baldur's Gate players, what is the point of the marketing? They just spending the money for the Hell of it? You don't like the game? Cool. No need to tar two massively diverse communities with your brush.
Most likely because they made a significant sum of money on DOS/DOS2 sales; it makes sense that they'd rather cater to fans who enjoy barrelmancy, superhero jumps, and surface-spam-boogaloo.
Though it does fly directly in the face of Larian's earlier statements that they didn't want to make a 'reskinned DOS'.
