It may not be entirely in line with the topic, but whatever. I guess people don't know what really makes the game a successor to bg. Reading the topics closer to the premiere of EA, it was much more visible (some people have given up since then). I remember opinions (and not single ones) that the game cannot be bg if there is no rtwp fight or 2e rules. There would also be opinions that the game is not BG because it does not have the same heroes, 2d graphics (these are only single cases, at least), bad color palette or even voice acting. If you did a good search, you would certainly find more. Reading these topics, you could get the impression that the only thing that would satisfy the fans is a copy of BG2 (even such a Pathfinder would barely fit). However, many fans really disagreed with each other completely.
So what really makes a bg game? The problem is that it is different for each person. For some, rtwp combat may be what defined games and other things may not matter. Likewise, other people may care more about 2e or other things.
