Those surface level similarities that you highlight def do not mean that Larian simply copypasted the backstory. Just one example though. So your argument there is very arbitrary.

If you want to know some basic info about the creation of the original saga, I can recommend the youtuber Chris Davis is making an excellent series analysing crpgs and he has an episode on all of the saga entries (he is really good, does excellent research).

Thanks for these video. It looks very interresting.
I really love the firsts lines of the third video : new RPGs = grind loots + skill trees + a lot of incoherence in the story.

I don't have much time now but I'll watch them.
