Why just remake BG1 & 2 then? Why not Pool of Radiance, Curse of the Azure Bonds, Secret of the Silver Blades, and Neverwinter Nights? Why? Because it's been done, it is classic, players already know the story, and the backlash you'd get from hardcore fans would be tremendous. Those are all great games, mind you. They could be redone with modern graphics and turn into amazing games again in a new iteration... but the temptation to screw around with them just to add some "new" or bring them "up to speed with modern ideology" would simply be too great. People have a hard time not injecting their own spin on things. Sometimes that works out, but usually it is death to any sort of attempt at a remake. You'd most likely end up expending an incredible amount of time and resources just to end up with a hodge-podge game that no one would be truly happy with and that would never fully live up to anyone's expectations.
