I mean, its "Larian game" after all ... so its first and before anything else should fulfill Larian vision ... at least that is how i see it, feel free to throw a rock if you feel the urge. :-/
It is a Baldur's Gate game. If Larian wants to make their very own game exactly how they want it to be then they should not pick a name that is this strongly tied to a particular kind of game. If Larian wants to use that particular name then they should also accept the restrictions that come with that name.
If Larian just wants to make a DOS-game that isn't DOS then they could have made Mortality: Original Virtue and had a completely free hand to do whatever they wanted to do.
