Ah, when this thread started, I was thinking "what's the catch?" And it turned out to be another "BG3 should be an Infinity Engine title". I, for one, really hope this game will be much closer to DOS than to original BG series. And that's what I'll emphasize in my testing.
I don't expect Larian to make an Infinity Engine game, but I do expect them to respect what the franchise was about. It was a single player party-based D&D experience. Most of those words should be reasonable descriptors of a modern sequel, even if they change some things.
But if they just want to make another DOS game then it is completely disrespectful to involve the Baldur's Gate franchise in that project. That would be rather much like making a solitaire game and calling it Fallout 5 because Fallout 4 is taken and the game uses Fallout motifs for the cards.
